SOUR AVOCADO
WEBSITE
Sour Avocado started off as an internal project – we wanted to create a meme website dubbing it Sour Avocado; later we pivoted to a platform where we help review games.
DESIGN
Since we had to restructure and rebrand the whole site, we went ahead started with design ideas. During this time a very papular site called Polygon had been getting a lot of traction and we used their platform as an inspiration on what we wanted to do. Our goal was to help grow that audience and we wanted to be an alternative to Polygons platform.
MOCKS AND WIREFRAMES
After getting some direction, I went ahead created static mocks and wireframes to showcase how we wanted to navigate the user and how we wanted layout the info for our site.
UI DESIGN
The UI Design needed to contain responsive design since the site was going to be loaded on Desktop and Mobile. It also needed to contain ads and live videos. I also took into consideration of micro-animation through out the site to keep the user engaged with the content provided.
INTERACTIVE DESIGN
Below is one of the micro-animations I created for the site. When the user hovers over a featured video, it would play a animation.
