Pier 2 Peer

We were delighted when asked by Brighton and Hove City Council to develop a fresh and cohesive interface design to enliven their Virtual Learning Environment and engage all children who use the platform.

Our starting point for the design process were designs and concepts for the site submitted by the children of Brighton and Hove. Winning entries and our inspiration for the final design came in the form of a name for the site, ‘Pier to Peer,’ inclusion of a character, cityscape, Brighton Pier, Brighton Pavilion, and a seaside theme with plenty of big ‘scribbly’ waves. With a sprinkling of Jam Jar magic, the new look interface was designed and delivered.

We integrated bespoke navigation and animated graphics across all four sections of the site, placing a character, (who now goes by the name of Piers, having been named by the children) in an animated seaside world. The final ‘Pier 2 Peer’ concept and visuals are a testament to the creativity of these young people.

Please note that you may require a Brighton & Hove City Council account to access much of the site content.
