The Hong Kong Neon Archive showcases over 300 photos of a project in documenting Hong Kong neon signs. The online archive is created for public's access, university research and reference. It acts as the last resort to the city's neon culture given the rapid demolitions of decade-old neon signs.
The website was design to be intuitive and to maximise the ease and enjoyment in user experience. My role in this archive included establishing an extensive database for its search engine. A map is designed to be present for showing the locations of these neon signs.
The design of the logotype mimicked effect of the installation of neon tubes. The background colour of the website is set with black, to blend in with the many night shots of the glowing neon signs available in the archive.
