Creating a website focused on minimalism was a natural extension of my passion for printed products. Just like in print, my goal was to present information in a way that is clear and easy to digest for my readers. I believe that simplicity can enhance the reading experience, allowing the content to shine without unnecessary distractions.
When it came to choosing a color palette for the website, I struggled a bit. I wanted something that would set the site apart from the common white backgrounds seen everywhere. After exploring various magazine websites for inspiration, I decided on a bright grey background. This choice felt just right—it’s not too stark like plain white, yet it maintains a clean and approachable look that makes it easy to read.
One of the key aspects of my website is the use of original pictures. I wanted to ensure that everything on the site is unique and authentic. This not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also aligns with my vision of keeping the content original and engaging.
In addition to the grey backdrop, I wanted to keep a touch of familiarity with the color red. This is a signature element I’ve utilized in all my printed products, and I feel it helps create a sense of cohesion across different mediums. Whether a reader is flipping through a magazine or browsing the website, the presence of red ties everything together and provides a visual cue of familiarity.
Overall, my approach to designing the website mirrors my philosophy for print: simple, clean, and focused on the reader's experience. Each element has been meticulously thought out to make information accessible and enjoyable, helping readers to easily engage with the content. The combination of a bright grey background, original images, and the familiar red accents aims to create a seamless and inviting space for all who visit.
