Urban Vocab is one of the world’s largest collections of found-art photographic letters, numbers and grammar symbols. Iona Miller, the artist behind the Urban Vocab concept, hopes that users will be inspired by this website to “see the art around you” and that they will use the urban images we have captured to create fun, unique and personal art that you and others can enjoy.
I was asked to update the old Urban Vocab website with a slew of new features. The main addition was a custom drag and drop application that would allow users to intuitively pick and choose letters from Iona Miller’s library of over 900 images, organized by letters, number, symbols and color ways. I found an excellent solution in jQuery’s drag and drop functionality, allowing users an enjoyable interaction where they find letters from a selection palette, and drag them to the artboard, where they can then drag and rearrange the letters to create a nearly infinite combination of custom art pieces. Users can then select framing and matte options, all of which update pricing real time to give site visitors instant feedback on their purchase options and pricing.
A standard cart was also implemented for hundreds of additional Urban Vocab products like framed photographic art, sticker sets, free downloads and more. The site was built with a content management system, so Urban Vocab can constantly update the site with new products, content and freebies.
Website launching soon!
Cool!
