The Pigna Library happens to host events. There is a dedicated events block to get the readers to know about them.<\/p>\n

When it came time to expand the “add” page beyond books, Ilya<\/a> and I decided to kill the interface altogether.<\/p>\n

To add an event, the librarian just writes what the event is<\/i>. The plus sign received a beautiful frame to be on par with its friends — books.<\/p>\n

I started talking with the library’s director, Freddy Colt, in July. In August we agreed that I’d be a volunteer and help the library with some stuff. We agreed on what I would work on, but the necessary information and files were never sent due to shareholders<\/s> other library administrators not agreeing.<\/p>\n

One of those things was an online book catalogue. When I was in Sanremo, I went to the library and nudged Freddy to give me the book catalogue. Once I received it, I talked to a friend of mine, Ilya Sidorchik, a master of library catalogue and database projects. It became his term paper (project).<\/p>\n

Work started immediately. Ilya became the art director.<\/p>\n

This was my first sketch:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Then I improved it a bit:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Ilya started talking to me philosophically about “building a castle” and the Italians that built the Kremlin. Food, wine, and the sun are also part of the conversation, because they are things that excite Italians.<\/p>\n

He brings up an idea on how to make the website’s esthetics look more captivating:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n
Favorites chooser in iOS 7 Apple Music<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I did this:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Ilya responded: “Robert, I think you’re still restricting yourself. There’s no need for that.”<\/p>\n

Fixed:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Since I was making six different versions, I saw that the 2560 px version could also use an upgrade:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Another idea came up:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

We started talking about the details and how putting actual book covers on the home page is close to impossible: the library has rare books the covers of which are not readily available. He also tells me the five steps I should follow to make the website better.<\/p>\n

Working on this project also reminded me about how long Italian words usually are.<\/p>\n

I started from scratch.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

I added support for adding the library’s events in the top-right corner:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

I fine-tuned the details with nine intermediate mockups. My final mockup:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

I was in parallel studying code, which meant I solved the first & last name crisis we had:<\/p>\n

Name = 'Calvino Italo'\nprint(Name.split(' ')[1], Name.split(' ')[0])<\/code><\/pre>
The book adding page looks like this. It is meant to be identical to book editing, because editing is the same thing as adding but with info already filled in.<\/p>\n
\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n
Ilya then worked hard to make the website come to life.<\/p>\n
I came to Italy, met Freddy and gave him the keys.<\/p>\n
