Comedy Republic

Comedy Republic is an independent theatre and bar in the heart of Melbourne. The venue was established in March 2020 and is owned and run by comedians, Kyran Wheatley, Rhys Nicholson and Alex Dyson. They needed an exciting, yet simplistic, website to kick things off quickly during a confusing covid-lockdown time for event venues.

Client requirements

The client came with their own moodboard and rough wireframe of the content they needed, and how they wanted it to sit on the site

I provided some web focussed inspiration

An intro to my Visual Direction concepts

Deciding on a visual direction

We took some twists and turns to land on a colour palette and aesthetic approach everyone in the group was happy with

The final design!

I then worked with the agreed visual direction, and developed the site using Readymag

The site has since changed, with lots of new initiatives and events to promote

I may have forgotten to take a screen recording of my final :-/ but here is how it looks 2 years later as the guys use Readymag to serve up their audience new gigs each month.
