Case study
Planet Britain
Commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Planet
Britain is a portal that promotes British youth culture
and showcases design and technology innovation in Britain
to a young, wired and international audience. Content for
the site is provided by leading UK publications such as i-D
and Creative Review and covers subjects like Sport, Street
Culture, Arts, Design and Media.
Epic produced the first Foreign and Commonwealth promotional CD-ROM
and linked website in 1998. After successfully winning the tender
for the production of the millennium portal version, Epic redesigned
the site to have an innovative, fresher look.
The final design won an award at the New York Multimedia
Awards.
In addition to its novel design, Planet Britain features a front-end
publishing tool that enables the site to be easily updated. This
feature fulfils the objective of providing topical and up to date
material on the site.
