Outline

Something Splendid were asked to design and develop the website for Rooftop Cinema, based on the excellent print work by Chase & Galley. Our design solution drew heavily upon the 3D extrusions of the Rooftop logotype, and we found ourselves shoehorning extrusions onto every surface that wasn’t fastened down. Development involved building a custom CMS for Rooftop to manage the cinema program and tie in with their ticket sales system. Whilst the website has since been re-incarnated, you can enjoy the screenshots below until the end of time.

Program

When designing the program page, we realised that the challenge wasn’t coming up with new visuals for the cinema, but designing something to make the most of the existing visuals of the dozens of films that will be showing.

Here you can see how the modular grid of the program page can be enlarged to work with different chunks of content.

About

You can see how the grid also works with different types of text layouts.
