Currently still in the design and development phase, the Galleries use Plone 3.0 as a CMS, and a customized version of Plone4Artists. These design templates build on some of the interface design choices made for the Burning Blog, such as adding more white space to the page and carrying over the smoke/grey toned colour scheme.
In 2008 and 2009 I designed all aspects of the covers and inside pages of the event calendar that is handed out to participants upon arrival at Black Rock City. I redesigned the layout of events on the interior pages for increased readability and added icons for categories, so participants could see at a glance which events were gatherings, parades, workshops, adult-orientated or kid-friendly.
The art theme for the 2009 Burning Man event struck a chord with my interest in biology and natural sciences. With my design, I illustrate the evolution of consciousness and life on Earth, not just the evolution of mankind.
The Burning Blog is a collation of previous blogs from sub-sections of the main Burning Man site. I designed and implemented a custom Wordpress theme for this blog. I integrated some subtle design and layout changes to differ it from the look and feel of the main Burning Man site, allowing the main content to breathe and increasing readability.
