Project Description
For this web site I am working with the owner of the store, Out of the Blue to create an online database that showcases her collection of African art. The site will be educational as well as consumer oriented. The goal is to guide the shopper through an interesting, informative and unique site that will ultimately lead them to purchasing African art.
