Forward Arts Foundation
Forward Arts Foundation promote the enjoyment and understanding of poetry, inspire people to express themselves through poetry, and support poets and communities. Their flagship event is National Poetry Day, an annual nationwide celebration of poetry. They also run Forward Prizes for Poetry, the annual ‘Oscars’ of poetry.
We started the project by updating the brand to give it a more modern look. This involved introducing new colours, fonts, and shapes in a playful manner. We collaborated closely with the Forward Arts team to restructure the website and incorporate National Poetry Day, which was previously hosted on its own website. The website is designed to be highly flexible, with various modules that enable Forward Arts to create bespoke and visually exciting templates.
Client testimonial
I absolutely loved working with Jane and Richard. They're really attentive and were always happy to answer questions, just a pleasure. The thing I was really impressed by is how they paid attention to the speed and accessibility of the new site – providing guidance when we needed too! Our new site just works, it's brilliant and Maraid are brilliant too!
