Project’s scope
The project’s business goal was to create a website that showcased the author both personally and through his intrinsic element – books, ensuring an efficient sorting of titles. The website’s concept was birthed through consultations with Remigiusz Mróz’s representative, and while the initial plan was to design a more modern and minimalist site, the author envisioned a more artistic page – with custom photos and elements associated with literature, books, and textures.

Challenges and solutions
-
01.
Tailored photographs
The homepage narrates the story of Remigiusz Mróz, with significant effort invested in preparing tailored photographs of the author. Using various Photoshop plugins, we gave the images a more “painterly” appearance, crafting each picture meticulously to ensure precision.

02.
Graphic consistency
Working with an established brand and style, we needed to make sure that the design resonated with the author’s identity without compromise. We also tested and optimized it for multiple devices to maintain consistency.

03.
Uniqueness and modernity
The website needed to stand out from other authors’ showcases, so creating a unique design without losing modern aesthetic values was an absolute must. We balanced trends with timelessness, including interactive features and enhancing the user experience without detracting from the content.
Summary
Business enhancement
The client’s digital portfolio
A comprehensive digital portfolio showcases not just the author’s literary works but a multifaceted dimension of his brand. This includes press materials, videos, academic articles, and intriguing fun facts – a holistic view of who the author is, what he does, and what might captivate his fan base. Such a portfolio not only establishes credibility but also deepens the connection with the audience, providing them with insights that go beyond the pages of the author’s books.

Outcome
The final product is a testament to our mutual vision. It artistically encapsulates the author’s vast literary journey, offering an immersive experience to the users by amalgamating current design trends with timeless elements central to literature.
