Website redesign for author website Solomon Vance
| Project Type: | Capstone Project – Website build |
| My Roles: | Web design, user experience, interaction design |
| Client: | Rick Stevens |
| Tools: | Adobe XD, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Divi, Adobe Photoshop, Miro |
| Year: | 2021 |
Objective
To design a user-friendly website that captures the mood of the Nobody Series books and where users can browse and buy books.
About this project
The client had started creating his website using WordPress and the Divi page builder. The website would be a place for him to sell his books and provide some information about his existing and upcoming series.
Design process
My team and I created the visual identity to reflect the mood and the themes of the books. My group members and I each created a moodboard for how the website would look. As the client’s main series is about hackers and espionage, and I created my moodboard to capture the mysterious, dark, and hacker-like tone. After everyone had finished their moodboards, we held a vote on our favourite elements from each moodboard.
I compiled everyone’s votes and created a final moodboard that we would use as inspiration for the overall visual design of the Solomon Vance website.
Result
After the high-fidelity prototype, my group member and I split up the projects — he finished the building process of the Solomon Vance website, while I solely built the Edmonton Native Plant Society website.
