TCM Summer Under The Stars - Kirk Douglas

This was for the month of August 2013, but I saw it in the Communication Arts March/April 2013 issue & just had to post about it.

Every year TCM has Summer Under The Stars and therefore are trying different ways to draw in more viewers. These are screen shots of this years web design. The entire thing is interactive and for each actor, the layout/design and typefaces are different. If you click on a picture it draws you in to another page.

 
The bio is the second page you land on. It has a synopsis of the actors life and works along with other tidbits of information about them. The text scrolls while the background remains the same.

Then on the third page you get kind of a collage of pictures from various movies that the actor starred in. You have the option to save some of these pictures off, "pin" to Pinterest, "share" to Twitter and "post" to Facebook. Sometimes you can even comment on the individual movies. It's pretty cool overall.

Then on the fourth page, the schedule appears for the times and titles of the movies that actor appears in. If you click on any of the movie titles, you will be taken to a page with a synopsis of that movie and links to articles and a video. On the bottom is a link to "shop now," which takes you to the TCM store where you can buy just about anything relating to these old movies (mugs, shirts, etc.)

Here is the link if you would like to take a look at some of the other actors' information.
