Just For Fun

Here you will find a collection of one-off designs I’ve created to keep my skills sharp and to explore various design concepts.

Official Website

My Redesign

Homage To A Childhood Passion

As a kid my favorite toy was LEGO. I thought it would be fun to recreate the LEGO website, but with a bit MORE LEGO inspiration.

In this design:

  • I stayed true to the look and feel of the original website while adding a sense of playfulness, intrigue, and wonder

  • While the design is perhaps busier than would be desirable for an actual build, it FEELS like LEGO, and makes me want to explore more. This effect is compounded with animations showing elements being built as the user progresses through the site

  • Most of the static elements that give the design a LEGO look can be converted to images once finalized to reduce slow-down, both in FIGMA and on an actual website build

Neubrutalism

This design explores concepts of neubrutalism, which is a modern take on minimalism.

In this design:

  • Simple elements with single colors and hard shadows

  • Bold outlines around elements

Glassmorphism

This design explores Glassmorphism.

It applies transparency and blur effects to create the impression of glass panels.

In this design:

  • Glassmorphic elements

  • Slightly blurred background image

  • Gradient card borders, giving slight illusion of thickness to the pane of glass

Neumorphism

This design explores concepts of neumorphism or “soft UI.”

Changes I made to the original design:

  • Chose gradient gray background to improve contrast & avoid overbright screen

  • Improved size and visibility of the card selection indicator dots beneath the cards

  • Increased typography size for WCAG compliance

App Sign Up

Who wouldn’t want to sign up for whisky!

A simple app sign up process that includes verification.

In this design:

  • Ensured typography is WCAG compliant

  • Just a bit of depth in the input fields

  • Transparent card with background blur

Website Landing Page

This simple yet elegant design invites users to imagine their next vacation.

In this design:

  • Attention to white space & hierarchy

  • Color elements create harmony by matching the water color

  • “Mizu” (Japanese for water) font was selected to look like brush strokes

  • Ensured typography is WCAG compliant

  • Use of shadows to slightly elevate elements
