Marco and Derek work through the theme challenge
Hi, there. You're not logged in. So, you must be a visitor. Welcome!
What is this? You are viewing one of our supplemental "Stories." In addition to our core design curriculum, we are constantly building out additional resources. Stories are a collection of real work tasks, design history, UX explorations, and work-throughs. Stories are often off-the-cuff and less concerned with production value.
Introduction
The theme challenge involves picking a theme – or genre of a website and emulating it. First, there’s the code to get the skeleton in place (because we’re reiterating that from the responsive layout challenge) – but then there’s research, mood boards, style tiles, and implementation.
Big thanks to Marco for going under the spotlight – and using his work for the example.
Intro / project overview
If you’re already feeling really clear on this project goals / you could probably skip this…
Part two: Research
Video in the works!
Forgot about these … going to edit them…
Part three: style tiles
We generally just “use affinity designer” to make style styles, but we also touch on “global swatches” a bit at the end.
