This project was about updating the website to be mobile-friendly, as well as showcasing new projects completed by the agency. I worked directly with studio owner, Alonzo Alston to not only develop a site that is rich in photographic content but also speaks directly to potential clients about the studio's process.

For the SolStudio website update, I did a good amount of research looking at competitor websites, industry giants, and inspiration sites. Alonzo and I worked together to find a color palette that was uniquely SolStudio. Also one of my closest friends, Alonzo and I share an immense love of mid-century design. I created graphics to work with parallax effects on his site to create a nod to mcm design that also kept the appearance very modern. Most of all, it was imperative to let the photography of these great projects shine!

When I hang out with Alonzo and his other architect friends, they always hype me up for the design work I do and I just think it's crazy because they're all designing buildings and huge projects.

Parallax Effect

Parallax scrolling is a web design technique in which the website background moves at a slower pace than the foreground. This results in a 3D effect as visitors scroll down the site, adding a sense of depth.

Updated Portfolio

When we looked at other architect competitors and inspiration sites we discovered that while our screens are limited, using large images can help the viewer understand the scale of the project. I also took some time to brighten existing photography to match the brightness of the new graphic assets.

Inspired MCM Graphics

The line graphics I developed for this page are inspired by Mid-Century Japanese/Argentinian graphic artist Kazuya Sakai. I first saw his art on the cover of the Filles de Kilimanjaro III album by Miles Davis.
