Meet Tano! - museum integrated website

Student - Marsela Marku

Supervisor - Gillian Sales

This project aims to create an engaging and appealing online site aimed at school children aged 11-16 to accompany the Otolemur crassicaudatus (commonly known as the bush baby) specimen in the Museum of Life Sciences. This website has been created in close collaboration with the Museum to ensure that the most essential, up to date and interesting information about the species is included. The appealing muted neutral colours of the site combined with the pixel illustration of the skeleton and background/header illustration by Jonathan Kingdon give this site a strong visual identity. This website will contain details of the species’ behaviour, physical adaptations, and evolutionary relationships between it and other primates. In particular, the adaptations of the skeletal structure described in this website will be demonstrated on the specimen itself, in the form of an image where you can click on body parts to find out more. In addition, this website is designed to replace the leaflets that formerly accompanied the specimens in the museum. This is to prevent paper waste, and environmental consciousness will also be a topic detailed on the website in relation to recent issues threatening the species’ populations such as poaching and kills by domestic dog
