ABOUT

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has nurtured thousands of outstanding student-athletes over the years, and now has over 400 athletes in 18 sports events. CityU is “One of the Best Universities in Sports” among 13-member tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, and the only University that has captured Double Champions for 9 times Grand Slam in the USFHK Sports Competitions.

The “We Care for CityU Sports” campaign aims to nurture the growth of their full-time CityU student-athletes in personal, academic, and career development, by providing adequate support through volunteer services and donation to them. All supporters of the University are cordially invited to take part in the campaign.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The motif of “three.js” animation is inspired by the polygon of CityU logo element, with a vibrant colour scheme adapted from the corporate identity system. The motion graphics create a visual metaphor of “Converging the dynamic of sports teams” as well as the connotation of “Every little makes a mickle”. Finally, it illustrates an objective of encouraging the myriad alumni to continually support the student-athletes through donations and volunteer services.

JUDGE'S COMMENT (WEBAWARD 2020)

"The site appears to be truly mobile-first in its design approach, which is refreshing to see. The "Itinerary Planner" is absolutely brilliant. I've used similar tools in the past, but nothing that takes a user this far along — actually drawing the directions line to connect the POI to the hotel is a great user experience! Allowing the Book Now button to drop the booking tool down rather than directing users to a new page improves speed and efficiency — and, again, works great on a mobile. Overall, a great use of technology to improve the booking process!"
