Located in Port Sunlight, Liverpool (the historic home of Unilever in the UK), the staff at Unilever Art, Archives and Records Management look after one of the most important collections of business records in the world.
With over 50 world renowned brand histories, the collections contain original documents, printed sources, packaging, images and films, an example being the first advert that was ever aired on television for S. R Gibbs toothpaste. Well-known brands, such as Colman’s, Wall’s, Lipton, Persil, Pears Soap, Vaseline, Dove, Sunsilk, Lux, PG Tips and Marmite, all feature in the collections.
My role was to lead the design of their new digital archive, I worked with the core team at Unilever to produce architectural structure, wireframe prototypes, workshops and digital art direction in adherance with their globally recognised brand identity.
Functionality included creating hierarchical structures for over 100 seperate collections, forms for selecting records to view onsite or request to reproduce commercially and privately, user-accounts to save records and search criteria, and encouraging audiences to contribute through sharing personal memories and images online.
