The ARIA Hall of Fame has been an important part of the ARIA Awards since 1988. Traditionally taking place during the music awards ceremony, ARIA has inducted artists as diverse as AC/DC, Joan Sutherland, Olivia Newton-John, Johnny O'Keefe, Paul Kelly, INXS, Slim Dusty, Jimmy Little, and many more into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
Since 2005 the ARIA Hall of Fame has been an annual stand-alone event that honours Australian musicians achievements have had a significant impact in Australia or around the world.
In 2008, ARIA Pty Ltd. approached Gruden to design an online presence site for the ARIA Hall of Fame.
The site was required to inform the general public, music and media industry professionals about the event, to announce new inductees, highlight previous year's events, inductees and lifetime achievement award winners, and feature a photographic gallery.
As a secondary requirement, the site design needed to incorporate branding of the events presenting partner Vodafone, and allow for event sponsors Crown Lager and City of Melbourne, and include media partners Herald Sun, Classic Hits 104.3FM, and Jonathan Coleman Experience.
The first challenge for the project was to develop a look and feel that would allow ARIA Hall of Fame to expand on their branding collateral.The second and major challenge would be translating the design into Adobe Contribute friendly coded website, which would allow ARIA personnel to update the site quickly and easily.
With this in mind Grudens creative team produced a unique and colourful layout to reflect the diversity of the inductees and the spirit of the event, whilst maintaining a strong connection with the ARIA brand and the event presenting partner.
The technical masterminds of our programming and development teams turned the design into a web reality within record time, and featured an XML driven SlideShowPro web gallery and administration back-end.
