Website Development
In this project I was tasked to design a responsive website for a Kickstarter. I created a speculative website for the POWERUP 4.0 Kickstarter by POWERUP TOYS, a company that created electric paper airplanes. My concept was to use animation to create playful elements against a white background as if floating on the page. I organized the information so that the home page focused on the general brand and products; the interior pages concentrated on detailing the new features of POWERUP 4.0 and showcasing the kits and products.
I was inspired by the Kickstarter’s infographic colors as I developed the initial wireframes. My goal was to conceptualize the layout to grasp what information was needed on the home page vs what could appear elsewhere on an inside sample page. I also created a site with cohesive use of the brand that was established on their Kickstarter page. Thus, I created all infographics on the page in Illustrator inspired by existing designs on their Kickstarter. The images below include the original Sketch responive layouts. for the top of both pages.
The final home page is focused on displaying the core functions of POWERUP’s airplanes including a GIF that displays how to fold around the machine and what the app offers. The bottom of the page is intended to help the user navigate the website with a button that goes to a informationational page on POWERUP 4.0.
The final POWERUP 4.0 page displays the information that was important to advertising the new product, including an illustration with details of the product and GIFS that display advertised features.
