Via — visual design blog/portal that accredits talented designer's & studios from all disciplines of design.

Role:Art Direction / Design / Blog Curator
Studio:WeLoveNoise
Objective

1. To redesign the portal to be responsive on all touchpoints.

2. Re-introduction to distinguish "Via" as a brand on its own.

3. Create a system that allows maintenance & data entry to be easier.

Delivery

The current portal lacked functionality for it to perform to its highest potential. Therefore every aspect from submission to content entry was addressed & redesigned from the ground up.

From a brand perspective, given the content is curated by myself, I created a brand image that would be distinctive from other inspiration sites with an element of personality.

Colour Directions

Re-brand & disconnection to the WeLoveNoise brand

The hover states

— Large type to illustrate studio/designer.

— Thumbnail transitions to full colour.

Different Sizes

Considerations were made for posts having several images that may also vary in size.

Information

Personal work of mine is always designed to be experimental & playful.

The posts are the core content & so any other information is secondary & kept out of sight, but still easily accessible.
