Splendor

Project Brief: Splendor is a digital publication that believes in the magic of music, the distinctive voice, and the power of music to influence and shape culture. Primarily focusing on indie and alternative music through a variety of genres, Splendor shares and discusses music, shines a spotlight on rising artists, and furthers conversation around the impact of music as well as the rich history of indie, alternative, and lesser known sub-genres. The task was to design a website and create a visual language that was authentic to Splendor. Splendor’s visual language is inspired by the dynamic energy of the music scene. The design is trendy, fun, and energetic while still maintaining sophistication and user-friendly systems. Designs were created for both desktop and mobile. They include designs for the homepage, a section landing page, an article page, and an editorial feature.

Homepage for desktop: depicted is the beginning of “The Latest” section.
