Shavasana Retreat: Boutique Website Design

Concept

In my User Experience and Content Design class we were directed to create a fictional idea of a unique boutique hotel and a website to follow. I created the fictitious Shavasana Retreat, a hotel dedicated to practicing yoga and relaxation. I made the design of the site to fit the fun and relaxing vibe of yoga.

Outcome

The design is only a home page featuring a usable “book now” button, activities, rooms available, and experiences at the hotel. The footer features a section for people to put their email, more information, and links to social media pages. For anyone accessing the site it is clear what is available at this boutique hotel.

Typography Cards: 26 Font Cards From A to Z

Concept

In my typography class, we were challenged to create 26 cards for each letter of the alphabet. Each card would showcase a font of our choosing. With the font on one side of the card we were also assigned to create a unique pattern on the other side of the card. Each card showcases the name of the font, the letter, year it was created, a fun fact about the font, and the unique pattern and design.

Outcome

I was inspired by pantone postcards. I took inspiration from the simplicity and placement of the text on the postcards. I used a neutral color palette on the cards to keep with the simplicity of the cards. The top right of the cards also feature color samples of the colors used on each card. I decided to make the letter like how the color is showed on the pantone postcards; To do this, I put a tan square with the letter on top of it. This also created a graphic for each card. Below the letter is the name and date of each font, with the fun fact about the font on the bottom of the card.
