HOW IT WORKED

Once users entered this deeply engaging hub, they were presented with the 'Home' page that gave them a brief introduction to Small Axe along with the official trailer video for the film series. By clicking on the 'Videos' page via top navigation bar, users had the ability to watch two videos that were produced and edited by Telescope. The first being a cooking segment featuring Chef Nyesha Arrington in which she walks through West Indian cuisine and another of a panel engaging in topics of the Black experience and the resiliency that has defined generations of bravery and persistence. A downloadable pdf to Chef Nyesha's recipe was linked and the panelists' image as well as bio were displayed below the video to give users further insight.

The 'Digital Zine' page presented users with the "Small Axe Anthology Zine", a dynamic digital piece of content in which users were able to download and read. Furthermore, 14 articles and recipes were laid out below allowing users to freely click through and read as they pleased.
