CHALLENGE
The biggest challenge was crafting a design that was both highly distinctive and flexible enough to accommodate different types of creatives. The template needed to stand out in a saturated market while remaining adaptable for a variety of professionals, from digital agencies to independent designers. Balancing visual impact with usability was a key focus, ensuring that while the design was bold, it remained easy to navigate and practical for showcasing work.
APPROACH & VISUAL STRATEGYCompetitive & Industry Research
To build a strong foundation, I conducted extensive research into the competitive landscape and industry trends. Many top creative agencies used high-contrast visuals, oversized typography, and unexpected layouts to create a sense of energy and originality.
Wireframing
The final design is a bold and modern interpretation of an agency website. The use of large-scale typography commands attention, creating an immediate visual statement.
The layouts are dynamic, incorporating asymmetry and strong visual hierarchy to keep users engaged.
Motion effects, such as parallax scrolling and hover interactions, add an extra layer of interactivity, enhancing the experience without overwhelming usability. Striking color contrasts and high-quality visuals ensure that projects take center stage, reinforcing the theme’s focus on creative excellence
