Emu Sky

A website for an exhibition celebrating Indigenous Australians and their strong connection to native flora and fauna.

Celebrating Indigenous Culture

Old Quad, a Melbourne University gallery, partnered with Sandpit to create a clean and simple website for the Emu Sky exhibit.

The exhibit explores Indigenous land management and the use of native flora and fauna for various purposes. We set to extend this into the website with the use of smoke transitions.

I designed the website to prioritise speed and accessibility. It features  an accessibility toolbar for users to customise their experience and assist with WCAG compliance.
