Fanmate is a creative platform where creators and their fans can support each other through gifts, content purchases, and loyalty points.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with the UI UX design team to be involved in creating visual asset designs for landing page and web app for fanmate (currently still in development), create illustration designs for landing pages and other pages as well, including icons and motion.
Create Design
Fanmate is creative platform, place for content creator who is a cosplayer, gamer, writer, singer, and many more, to expressing himself through visual content. They can interact with fans, build fanbase, and sell the content.
It is a challenge to create a visually appealing design as well as a supporting element for the user interface design, both on the landing page and the fanmate web app, to provide information from fanmates in general and more specifically.
Create visually appealing illustrations, icons, and motion designs as supporting elements of text or sentences, to help users understand information through visual design.
The First
Illustrations are created to help users understand information more easily and quickly.
The most important thing is the illustration for the landing page in the hero section, it's crucial. The first impression is important, users can continue by scrolling down or stop right now. Combining Headlines and Illustrations gives users an idea of what a fanmate is. Creating illustrations with characters doing activities in front of the screen, with additional supporting ornaments, provides users with a quick and easy understanding.
Continue in the same way, combining text with illustrations on the next page, and in the web app. Illustrations or icons for menu or empty state pages (404, No network, etc.)
As fans, they can give a gift.
Designing illustrations for gifts, with colors and styles made like three dimensions, so they look more real when shown on screen. Illustration gift, creating an emotional connection between users and creators.
In this section, the design for the gift illustration was made by 2 designers. About 35% of the part I worked on or 7 characters out of 20. Then for the motion design I worked on it completely.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Create motion designs. Provide an interaction when fans give gifts to their idols.
Motion design are made according to each character. Fish swimming, balloons flying, pouring coffee into a glass, etc. With motion gifts, interactions will be more expressive.
