Shardforge.com
Project type
Web Design
The website Shardforge.com is a website dedicated to a fantasy book series I wrote, and a trading card game which is based on the same universe. I am the Writer, Art Director, Game Designer, Graphic Designer, and Web Designer for this project. The character illustrations and landscapes are created by various other artists.
I designed this site using wix and some simple java script. The elements and non-illustration art assets such as UI and buttons on the site were designed by me using Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Illustrator.
The color palette of the website was selected to be easy on the eyes while using specific brand guidelines designed for Shardforge. The gold font color is meant to symbolize Shardforge's rare or unique qualities. The black and gunmetal grey backgrounds represent the darkness that lurks within the world, and the subtle blue fonts on the navigation bar stand out without creating a jarring contrast while also representative of the "magic" found in the Shardforge universe.
