Objective

My objective was to highlight their branding and work through the website effectively. This was achieved by incorporating their branding colors, utilizing bold typography, featuring their work through prominent imagery, and including numerous incidental animations throughout the website.

Approach

The approach behind the concept design of the new website was to create a navigable and filterable hub encompassing everything the company does, including its work, social media posts, and products. After completing the initial designs, I worked on bringing them to life before presenting them to the client. This was necessary to provide the client with a better understanding of how everything would come together and to showcase how animations and my designed interaction details could significantly enhance the user experience. To achieve this, I created a prototype video using After Effects software.

The Details

As with every project, I strive to incorporate unique and thoughtful design details to create distinctive user interface elements that make the website stand out. For this project, I created distinct design elements such as the video player, product cards, sharing, and navigational elements.

Priorities

Another primary focus of the project was to create detailed and visually engaging project case studies that would allow the client to showcase the credits of all the individuals and collaborators who worked on the project. These case studies aimed to highlight the project's work and development process effectively.

Since the launch of the new website, Golden Wolf has collaborated with numerous major brands, including TikTok, Blizzard Games, and BBC. Recently, they were acquired by the Web3 brand, Doodles.
