Paisley Pub or Paisley's Pub

Using "Because" as my website layout inspiration I like the idea of giving the viewer the ability to interact with the site and the movement to other pages flow horiztonally.

Possible home page where the pub image has some flash element that then shrinks the image and moves to reveal the inside of the pub, or zooms in on the pub sign, or the door opens and moves inside the pub. Bottom bar acts as a Quick view of the menu if the viewer chooses not to interact and wants to quickly find the information they are looking for.

Home page viewer can click on the phone for contact, bar tender for CV/Bio, and click right or left to move to the next screens.

Movement to the right to reveal Portfolio Pieces. As more portfolio pictures are added the wall can just keep growing to the right.

Viewer clicks on one of the wall features and it takes them to the specific portfolio piece:

Move to the left for the blog and social media "Pint Size" marketing:

Viewer clicks one of the beers or cocktails and it takes them to the blog.

Experiential Websites

I did a bit of research on experiential websites. Here's few that set good examples for what I'd like to accomplish with this project:

Because

Concept #1 - Additions to the Pub Concept

Over the break. I did some further exploration of the each of the concepts. I found that with the Icecream menu and patterns concepts, I was struggling to connect each concept to my portfolio. On the other hand the pub concept seems to have multiple directions and a stronger experience factor for the viewer.

The idea would be to start the home page as a typical English street. As an example, I've attached a pen and ink painting of Cirencester, England by my grandfather. The viewer would move through the street and go into pub #1, the Garnet Rose, pub #2 the Fox & Hound, or pub #3 the Yellow Bell. Each pub has it's unique features that I would relate to my portfolio.

Garnet Rose - Branding

Fox & Hound - Typography

Yellow Bell - Marketing

Here's some possible directions that I need to further explore this week to create an experience within each pub.
