Potentially quick fixes:

  • Remove transfer route images. Text remains, but add color to match style on main menu (color on left border). If more than one transfer route, stack vertically.
  • Reorder objects to display chronologically on routes. See new date column on master spreadsheet. (At the same time, push update of latest edits on Master spreadsheet)
  • Tighten line spacing (leading) in object stories and increase font size.
  • Display date on new line, not wrapped after title.
  • Add a ‘return to route’ option. Clicking on route name or color in top bar should return to top route level.
  • Add About page with IMLS credit
  • Swap out current object images for new cropped versions - folder of cropped images here

High-priority updates, though likely more effort:

  • Insert videos for each route
  • Pop-up window for zoomable images, allow for captions
    • Primary object image
      • One click gives you an image the pops up over the map
      • This larger image has the +/- and full screen icon so it can expand (over a transparent gray background). Clicking outside of the box will close the pop up.
    • Gallery Map (needs to be updated)
    • Supplemental images (not currently included; pending)
  • Quick Facts prominence
    • Gray out the other routes that are not selected
    • Move “see next” and dots to below the first fact
    • Unbold “select an artwork”
    • Add title “Quick Facts”
    • Change paragraph text to light
    • Make selected route title a color bar (same style as it displays on header once you’re in the route). Make these changes to both:
      • Change text to white when it displays over the colors
      • Adjust the yellow to ochre and make the silver darker
      • switch all 7 colors to updated hex colors from Eric H:
        Buddhism, purple: a343ff
        Silk Road, (gold) yellow: efca18
        Red Dye from Mexico, red: ff2e2e
        Blue & White Ceramics, blue: 3059ef
        Asian Design & Influence, green: 17b700
        The Silver Trade, (grey/silver) teal: 44d1e0
        The China Trade, orange: ff8517
  • Set up each click to be a new link/page for better analytics data

  • Integrate about page better

Should it be a popup over the map? How is it accessed/triggered - from a small link on the bottom left of the home screen?

  • only use cropped images for map icon, not for artwork view

supplemental images from outside of Mia collection

  • how to link and reference outside media?

We have a few external references - 1 from Denver Art Museum, 1 ???, 1 The Met, 3 Wikimedia Commons. How should we host/reference outside, supplemental content - hotlink a thumbnail? IIIF? Re-host/re-format as tiled high res image? Rights? Content management?

Map tiles

  • Make sure to use the new mapbox style
  • move 100% to mapbox GL vector tiles - figure out problems with next.js and server rendering

use the cropped images when showing a thumbnail
only grey non-selected threads after one has been activated (don't grey them all out on initial load)
thread title changes from grey-on-color to white-on-black for readability
move quick facts control below, add a header
Don't use thumbnail for relateds - they weren't created
it was causing trouble on the touch-screen
in thread list. This seems like a logical place to click to get started
