Patrick's Cabaret, a small theater in Minneapolis, MN, needed a website redesign that accomplished a few goals: They wanted a modern, mobile-friendly, accessible CMS that they could update with a show/events system. I worked with them to audit their existing site, design their content model, design the look and feel of the site, build the functionality and theme the Drupal 7 site. We worked with an accessibility specialist to ensure the site was fully accessible to all viewers, including those using screen readers and other assistive devices. We developed an artist profiles system to highlight the artists who are at the core of the Cabaret's mission. As the theater moves into a new future without their signature building, I'm proud that this website can serve as their hub.

This postcard was designed for a double-bill of performance. As a design, it needed to equally feature both artists, while still showcasing the individual strengths of each.
It also needed to stay within the branding of the festival.Other creators -
