Royal College of Art digital discovery platform 2020
AVCO was contracted to be part of the delivery team for the Royal College of Art’s 2020 online graduation shows, RCA2020. For the first time in its history the physical summer show was cancelled due to the ongoing Covid19 crisis. The online development was given the go-ahead at the end of April 2020 and was successfully delivered in July 2020.
AVCO worked on many aspects of the website specification, design and software development.
The website front-end was developed using a static-site generator in combination with cloud CMS for editorial content. A bespoke back-end was provided by Platform3 for the student uploads. This approach ensured that the website was extremely fast with good accessibility and SEO.
The website designs, layout and masthead identity were made by RCA students George Dutton, Philip Veech and Sean Steed.
