Marco and Derek work through the theme challenge

Last updated: August 2, 2023

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

This is where a video should appear, but no Vimeo ID has been added yet. Paste one in the editor — or want one recorded?

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.
