Tim Burton's website is really fantastic. To navigate through the site you have to use your arrow keys to walk "Stain Boy" around mysterious rooms and corridors. You are given the option of walking into either the Public Gallery or the Private Gallery, where you have to enter your email address to get in. A smart move that really works, even if most of us have a "spam email account".
Although navigation with arrow keys is nothing new, it worked really well in this case as it gives the user a real sense of walking around a gallery in a mysterious, Alice in Wonderland style building.

Earlier this year I bought the exhibition catalogue from his MOMA exhibition. I was so annoyed not to be able to get across to New York and see it for real but really recommend taking a look at the MOMA exhibtion site equally as fun and exciting to explore!

I love Tim Burton's work, it's so stylised and instantly recognisable. Since reading this blog I have checked out the website too, incredible. It'sl ike exploring another world... :) x
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the artwork by Tim Burton- he is such a strange individual. I visited his exhibition for the MOMA in New York at Christmas- it was a brilliant insight into his weird and wonderful world!
