Bopgun takes on the Net Magazine Design Challenge

Each month Net Magazine set a design challenge to encourage creative solutions from different designers, and here at Bopgun we love a good challenge! Our Creative Designer, Jake Hinds features in Issue 308: August with his response to the magazine’s challenge. Jake had a short period of time to design up a few images with supporting copy to explain his design to the brief that was set. Checkout the brief and his solution below.

The Brief:

This month we would like you to design a website for a regular local web-designer meetup. We would like your site to prioritise all the important information such as dates, times and location, as well as using an impactful visual design that will entice new attendees to join.

The Solution:

The <hyperlink> Bristol Web Designer Meetup is a monthly evening event for the digital and creative community in Bristol, combining talks with the opportunity to meet, network and chat with like-minded people.

 

The design, colour palette and choice of font have all been inspired by the code editor we use at Bopgun: Sublime Text. I used this to appeal to designers and coders alike. Adopting a structured approach (just like lines of code) to make the main information stand out, I have complimented this with contrasting fluid shapes that slowly flow in the background.

 

Below the title are icons showing key information, including time, ticket price, and he main speaker for that event. The call to action, “Register”, is the only piece of information with a fluid shape and flows based on mouse movement within a 10px margin container, subtly drawing users’ attention to register for tickets.
