Aion Marketing (Teaser) Site

February 2008

I designed and built this site to support the initial marketing activity for the game, Aion: The Tower of Eternity. I designed and built the site as a mix of up-front Flash animation and HTML and CSS for content pages.

The main focus of early marketing was on the flight aspect of the game, and the initial concepts of angels and demons. My site design puts that front and centre, with a strong animation of a single beat of angelic wings providing a transition from pure white to a panoramic vista between two opposing cloud layers. Within this space, a carousel showing visual assets from the game would spin, and news items about the game development would gently flow beneath. Clicking a news item or a graphic in the carousel would take you to an individual page in one of the three content sections. A sign-up page available in the main navigation allowed you to subscribe to the newsletter bringing updates on the game’s progress. The community section allowed developers of fansites to submit their details and be linked from the site, and to download game assets to support their sites.
