Challenge

How can I design a landing page that flows seamlessly and takes the user through a visual journey?

I challenged myself with creating a landing page that could flow seamlessly and keep the user's attention throughout. I wanted the page to be visually striking, while allowing viewers to easily read and understand the message of the site.

Action
1

Creating compelling visuals

I began by designing a shape that was both visually appealing and effective at holding page content. I wanted the shape to flow throughout the entire page without being repetitive or distracting to the content.

2

Designing the landing page

Taking the refined shape, I built a full-page layout using Adobe XD. I developed a standard for typography and imagery, and started to add core visual and text elements.

I felt that with the flow of the page, it made sense for the content to be focused around telling an impactful story utilizing effective user experience design. I then created an interactive prototype to test the experience as a desktop user.

3

Page animation

After significant testing and refinement, I landed on a final design that I felt accomplished my goal of taking the user through a visual journey. I then exported the design into After Effects and created an animation to simulate a live web experience.

This exercise pushed my boundaries as a web designer. It allowed me to use my visual design skills to differentiate from current web standards and establish a clear and compelling page.
