Description

The Plant Science Centre is a knowledge sharing and connection hub for plant scientists across the globe. It helps scientists connect with fellow researchers. It also facilitates the sharing of lived experiences through the 'Fireside Blog'.

What the client said

Daniel has a unique gift: translating the random thoughts and whims that usually underpin most passion projects, into visually beautiful and engaging products. I asked Daniel to help me build a virtual research centre. The research centre has been a passion of mine for as long as I could remember. Like all passions, the ideas keep evolving, sometimes overnight. What I wanted was a three-way mash-up of a science and knowledge sharing website coupled with a recommender system, a way to create ‘personal pages’ for scientists, and a blog. Daniel designed the logos, developed a colour palette and put together the website for me. He developed the backend to enable easy content management for a non-specialist such as me. With remarkable clarity, he accommodated all my ideas into a coherent and easy to navigate website. This process was very iterative, which Daniel handled with more skill and patience than I could have hoped for or deserved. The online research centre is the outcome of Daniel’s extraordinary ability to translate my dreams. I am now able to visually explain my dreams to the world due to the world.

Branding

Identity

The logo was born out the three key elements of the research centre - discovery, diagnostics, and disruption. The form of the logo was inspired by the plant-based research focused on pathogens.

Colour Palette

Based on the three elements essential to plant research - earth, water, flora, the colour palette reflects the vision behind the centre.

Website

Ui/Ux

Our goal was to create a website that was streamlined to guide people to the precise place they need to be - the research centre, scientist profiles, or the blog, regardless of how they chose to use the centre.
