The site is based on the look and feel of a pre-existing identity, making use of colors and typography, as well as existing content. The site’s structure is an extension of JAM Design’s printed booklets, which function as portfolios.

The Crystal Ball YLD Gala The Combined Jewish Philanthropies YLD Gala is a benefit raising funds for families in the greater Boston area. With the 2002 year’s theme of “The Crystal Ball,” the site called for a look and feel of magic, mystery and excitement. The emphasis of this gala differs from galas of the past in that it focuses on those it benefits; previous galas have circulated more on the social aspects of the event. Imagery of those helped by the event is used throughout the site, as well as stories of hope, lists of sponsors, and a fully functional area for donations, contributions and ticket purchases.

This concept cuts the redundancy by streamlining navigation and reorganizing categories of information. A clean and friendly look is applied to welcome the wide audience of students, teachers, parents and administrators.
