A place to hear the music and book the band.
Rustic Roads is a five-piece acoustic Americana band from Half Moon Bay. Susan wanted a site where people could learn about the music, meet the band and book them for a gig. She already had a picture of it: an old road map with photos and notes arranged like a bulletin board.
We started with three directions.

The Road Map, followed by Susan's paper layouts.
They chose The Road Map, with its highway map, blue shield logo and Polaroid photos. After the first draft, Susan made three page layouts by hand on paper. Those sheets became the basis for the site, with more changes from her notes as we built it.
