The Hollywood Bowl is L.A.'s premier outdoor concert venue and the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. kapow's challenge was to create a web presence that captures the unique Bowl experience — relaxing under the stars on a warm Los Angeles evening, accompanied by the extraordinary sounds of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. This dynamic site reinforces the Bowl's prestigious presence in the cultural world of Los Angeles by providing visitors with an informative, visually engaging, and efficient experience. The site presents the Hollywood Bowl performance schedule, musician biographies, historical and press information in an intuitive and accessible interface.
Site features include:
- A flexible design that allows the site to be easily adapted to match each season's marketing materials.
- A homepage that highlights news, upcoming performances, and a week's worth of concerts at a glance.
- A graphical calendar that displays the season's scheduled performances by month and musical category. The calendar provides visitors with an organized and logical overview of the Bowl's varied offerings. Designed to meet the specific requirements of the Hollywood Bowl, the database-driven calendar is updated with ease by non-technical staff through a customized administrative module.
- An interactive seating chart showing the actual view from each seating section.
