Prototype
With the goal of distributing RMA's rare and valuable scholarly information to a demographically and geographically diverse audience, we worked with the museum's director and grant writer to create a working prototype, rich with layered content and elegant graphic design, for the NEH grant application. The interface is designed to display artwork and content in such a way that readers can get information appropriate to their interest level. Additionally, we worked collaboratively with the museum to write the technology and user experience sections of the grant application.

Easy Updates
For the first time, all the features that make Flash so compelling—such as a visually stunning, animated interface—are combined with the flexibility and dynamic qualities of a content management system. The prototype was developed as a Flash MX application, which uses an XML data repository to provide an easy-to-update format for RMA staff. This ground-breaking technology allows anyone to update screen content by editing a text document, rather than having to employ a technical person to make changes to the actual Flash file.
Benefits
- Advanced technology puts a new museum on the leading edge of its market.
- Non-technical museum employees can update large amounts of content easily.
- Content is distributed to a global audience; the site will serve as a source for publishing scholarly content, which will create sponsorship and funding opportunities for the museum.
- Information architecture makes rare art, and its relationship to other cultures, easy to understand.
Technology
- XML
- Flash MX, ActionScript
- XHTML, JavaScript
