It’s Coke Studio Again

coke2

Yes I’m all coke’d out. Just launched Coke Studio season two website (http://www.cokestudio.com.pk/) after a hectic week at office with three nites just like last year with season one. So thought to share my experience of this season too.

The Design:

Omair & me again on the design of the second season’s website of Coke Studio. We both worked really hard on the design this time. Did so many research and paperwork on both the design & development, made so many wireframes and sitemap before the start. Initially, he started the design then I takeover as he took leaves for the trip and then again he came back and did some final touches and we all know the magic he has in his hands. He surely is a Photoshop Rockstar! good work bro! :) .

The Development:

Again, I was leading the development. Choose WordPress as its my favorite platform. This time worked really hard to make it more dynamic and a good use of WordPress power and also worked hard on the typography and fonts with complete web standards and SEO. I used cufón javascript framework to use customized fonts on the website and found out that its very promising and far more better then sIFR that I used on the last season‘s website and the fonts are making the website more sexy this time :D . I recommend cufón.

The Support:

I & Omair choose FurSid and Talal for the help & support on different section of the website as it is going to be very huge one from the last year. So they both are in the Coke Studio team. FurSid is with me on the development and we both are digging WordPress hard :) and Talal is helping us on the Video Player and Desktop Widget. Oh yes the desktop widget for Coke Studio will be out soon with the launch of Episode 1 hopefully :D . I would like to thanks Rohail Hyatt, Farhan Shaikh, FurSid and Talal for their support and we need more of your time on Coke Studio’s website.

That’s all for now. More things are coming up on Coke Studio website so keep checking and do follow it on Twitter and Facebook for more updates :)

    but yeah, totally digg new layout and the fact WordPress has been used again. I also liked the fact that for the content hosting Amazon’s S3 was chosen – not sure whose idea was it but it was a right one and for right website. Overall, it was a nice work though I didn’t like comments section at all. alot of space is wasted and since most Pakistanis don’t use gravatars, that empty gravatar against each commenter adds little tacky-ness to the layout and makes the whole page longer than it should be… Just my 2 cents

    Zair,
    I love your blog! Your design philosophy is so simple yet captivating! For someone who has zero knowledge of the tech world, your website is like entering into another world! (I am struggling so much with basic stuff on my blog site).
    Do you give tutorials?!
    cheers!
