Approach
During the design phase of Sunthay's new website, we were asked to incorporate an ocean theme. However, we wanted to avoid creating a design that was too cliche or overly literal. To achieve this, I opted for a simple video background that featured the gentle ebb and flow of ocean waves.
I also included subtle design elements such as a color palette inspired by oceanic blues and greens, and wave-like shapes that gave a nod to the theme without being too obvious. The end result was a design that elegantly incorporated the ocean theme, while still maintaining a modern and professional look.
Interactions
To enhance the user experience of Sunthay's new website, we incorporated subtle micro-interactions throughout the site. For example, when hovering over the navigation, we added a fading animation that gave users visual feedback and made the interface feel more responsive.
These micro-interactions not only made the site more engaging and user-friendly but also helped to establish a cohesive design language across the site. By paying attention to these small details, we were able to create a more polished and enjoyable user experience for Sunthay's visitors.
