The International Festival of Arts & Ideas is the most comprehensive site Flyleaf Creative has built to date. The festival is made up of more than 100+ events across many venues— with several connected themes in multiple genres. The priority was to develop a number of tools that underscored those complex relationships. Flyleaf Creative strove to create a rich cross-sell environment that would expose festival productions to a wider audience. To read more about the custom applications we built, see Custom Application. One of the tools we developed for the site won the festival an Adobe Site of the Day Award in 2008. To help users browse the information effectively, Flyleaf Creative used Flash to develop a neural net–style search navigation called DAISY. Short for the Dynamic Arts & Ideas Search Yielder, DAISY taps into the metadata tags of each event to offer users a visual guide that connects Artists, Genres and Themes. DAISY spins out a new bloom showing events related to a user’s word choice. (Interactivity Design and Development by Medium Rare)
