Wireframes & mockups

Interesting yet simple layout

To generate an overall impression of the art direction, I browsed several websites like lapa.ninja, awwwards.com and others for inspiration.

Wireframes

I explored a variety of layouts to determine which type of layout would create an easy and engaging user experience.

Figma file
Open in Figma

With over 100 downloads already the file includes wireframes, design mockups, organized text & colors styles.

Style Guide

Easy to edit both on Figma & Webflow on a global level

Typography

Two typefaces were chosen for their appeal both on an appearance level and readability at small scales.

Color Palette

The color palette was derived from a mood board of inspiration and was adjusted.
