Hey, Peeps!

Thank you for being patient as I was taking my time to learn and familiarise myself with the lovely UI/UX tool called Penpot.

Below is my first UI design of a unisex parlor named Bold Mastiff that I came up with on the fly while I was learning Penpot basics from TJ Free on YouTube, where he was designing a web page for his Blue Heeler puppy.

What's in this Post?

As aforementioned, the idea of Bold Mastiff instantly popped in my head while I was giving Penpot a go. So, here's the brief to get an idea of what it's all about.

The Brief:

1] Business Name: Bold Mastiff

2] Product: A unisex parlor that provides grooming services

3] Intended Audience: People of all ages

4] Feeling: Vintage + Classy + Bold + Friendly + Elegant

5] The Project: Design a simple landing page with a footer

The Process:

Of course, it was just the beginning of an idea, but I worked on fleshing it out to the best of my abilities, while also utilising whatever I learnt from Penpot so far. Furthermore, I have always had a penchant for unisex parlors and looking sophisticated, hence it served as both motivation and inspiration during the conception of Bold Mastiff.

Feeling a little daring, I challenged myself to create and add some design elements over the pictures to convey the message of looking good and confident, and to hopefully encourage the person to make a booking and/or explore more.

Board Size: Custom (1280 x 4415px ; Width x Height)

Poster 2

I decided to go for a minimal colour palette and legible typefaces for overall simplicity and elegance all while maintaining a cohesive visual language.

Colours:

1] Nero/#1E1E1E: Cool matte black for elegance

2] Mellow Apricot/#EFC070: Mellow gold for vintage and luxurious feel

3] Timberworlf/#DDDED5: Warm and bright silver for neutrality, a pinch of class, and contrast

Typeface:

1] Averia Serif Libre: Sophisticated, vintage, and classy feel (Google Fonts)

2] Noto Sans: Simple and modern look (Google Fonts)

That's all for now, folks!

More design pieces shall be coming soon so keep your eyes peeled or give me a follow to be in the know! 😃
