Bridging the Gap from Physical shop to Online Experience
Translating Pop-Art Vibes
The primary challenge in the user interface design was to integrate elements from phisical shop to online while preserving a clean and user-friendly appearance for the shop. We addressed this challenge by incorporating separation lines inspired by 90s-style web design, pop-art illustrations, substantial buttons, and a quirky hover effect on products.

Translating Physical Store's Pop Art Aesthetic to Digital Presence
The initial style for the online shop came from the pysical shop. Candyland has Pop Art elements on walls, so we added same style to online presence as well.
It was important to carefully balance the outline strokes and vivid colors to not make site look heavy and not usable. The inspiration for the outline strokes and 45-degree sharp shadows stemmed from the vibrant style characteristic of the 90s web era.

Let's integrate the elements of 'cool,' 'nostalgic,' and 'creative' based on the user personas.
To counterbalance the vibrant hues, the primary color was maintained as off-white. Additionally, I introduced accent elements inspired by pop-art and utilized accent colors for buttons and Call-to-Action (CTA) sections, infusing a touch of creativity and visual appeal.
Interactive hover effects on products make a playful and contemporary feel, catering to our younger customers.

Selection of Photography for the Page.
To appeal to creative individuals, we chose light, fun, and playful imagery, fostering an engaging and dynamic visual experience that cultivates a sense of community. It's important to note that the webpage imagery aligns with the overall branding in terms of mood and colors, ensuring a cohesive and unified visual identity.
