Needs

With so many separate platforms nowadays, keeping track of content is a real challenge. The main objective of this project was to aggregate and organize all my client's projects. Albums, playlists, production credits, sync placements, and visuals - all in one home.

Big Idea

He insisted on a design that would match his personality - minimalistic, with flashes of excitement. I was given a few photographs that he captured, and asked to incorporate them in some way.

Drafts

My first few drafts were very bold and colorful. Many ideas did not stick. Each draft got simpler, and more focused on making the entire website the showcase, rather than one section. For such a multifaceted client, this was the best option.

Conclusion

Our end result is a dark, sleek, and fluid website that both my client and other artists value and enjoy. The minimalism is clean, yet still feels complete. The interactions breathe life into the site and accentuate its functionality. With scrolling showcases for each artistic endeavor, new works can be added at a moment's notice.

Perfect for a burgeoning artist.
