The Interesting History of The Name
  • The Interesting History of the Name
    A website presenting a custom made book with the history of your family name
  • Your family name goes way back
    Always wondered what the history of your family is? Who where your ancestors? Michiel Nagtegaal / Designia was asked by Rotterdam (NL) based advertising agency 105 to design a website around a product that provides you with this information. Very well presented and designed.

    Design brief
    Develop a look & feel that radiates history without being outdated. I needs to show the actual product and have a good call-to-action.

    Art Direction and Visual Design
    By taking a living tree as a reference of passed times and a growing family tree and using aged colors like yellow and brown a historical feel was created.

    We presented the product as a source, full of interesting information by putting it at a prominent position and placing all kinds of visual references to history (photos, letters and a dryed leaf) behind it.
