LaymanMax — Complete Gaming Platform Design
I designed LaymanMax for a YouTuber and gaming creator. It was a large platform built around players, teams, challenges, tournaments, giveaways, and live match activity.
I designed the full product experience: home page, leaderboard, player pages, playlists, tournaments, giveaways, user profiles, settings, blog, wallet, and account verification. I also designed team and clan registration, challenge creation, accept and cancel flows, challenge pages, and screens for live match records.
The most challenging part was creating custom, high-fidelity visuals for streaming challenge status. These needed to feel energetic for live gaming while staying clear and easy to understand. I explored detailed states and small animations, including SVGator animations, to bring the experience to life.
Alongside the product, I created social banners and YouTube thumbnails that followed the same visual identity. This helped me learn how an application, social media content, and video assets can work together as one brand.
This project taught me how to design a larger application with many connected flows and states. It also improved my skills in high-fidelity UI design, SVG animation, product branding, and marketing design.

15 seconds of smooth UI, editorial layouts, and micro-interactions.
Kept the micro-interactions snappy, typography expressive, and transitions buttery smooth.
Rate this UI animation from 1 to 10 in the comments, or tell me what you’d improve! 😉
Solid 10/10 bro! 🔥 Micro-interactions are super snappy and transitions are buttery smooth indeed. Editorial layout game is strong. Keep it up!
Lovely cohesive work, Alex. The motion is spot on!
I built this speculative mineral cabinet to simulate ultraviolet fluorescence and light-wavelength transitions directly in the browser inside a clean interactive UI.
Users can flip the cabinet lamp between 5500K daylight and 365nm longwave UV to watch dull, grey stones instantly catch fire. The system catalogs seven fictional specimens from Verdigrite to Duskbloom mapping out their host lattices, trace metal activators, emission wavelengths (from 416nm cold violet to 640nm rose pink), and seam localities. If you switch the lamp back to daylight, the borrowed photon energy cuts off immediately, while specimens like Sporewort hold a brief half-second phosphorescent linger before going dark.
Everything runs on the client side using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. The stone visuals, wavelength states, and spectrum plots render locally in the browser without relying on heavy external assets or server calls. The page updates the crystal glow, the three step photon excitation breakdown, and the spectral chart in one pass. I even included a control specimen called Nullstone with zero trace activators. So when someone flips on the UV lamp, it stays completely dark and inert instead of faking a glow.
The ragebaiting part was to format and structure out the mineralogy lore and wavelength data so it felt clean and fast. Putting the activator traces, nanometer readings, and locality codes right beside each stone makes it easy to read the numbers while looking at the crystal glow. No distractions. Showing the emission spectrum chart at the bottom also helps visitors see where every specimen sits on the visible band before cutting the lamp.😊
