Shipped this website for a start-up event company in 2 weeks.
A new website resulted in selling tickets easier, making more profit for their events. That's why we build sites!
Branding's "lemony yellow-green" certainly is a great match with the energetic vibe of events/rave, and dark UI has that cool "night out" vibe, great design overall!
Project: Northern Pulse // Interactive Field Guide
Concept: An interactive technical manual and cross-section explorer for the "Northern Pulse" deep survey starship. The project reimagines traditional sci-fi blueprints as a functional, web-based diagnostic interface.
Visual Style: "Retro-Futuristic Schematic" — combining detailed isometric cross-sections with a clean, high-contrast digital UI. It features a technical grid system, precise typography, and a "dark mode" aesthetic that emphasizes the internal components of the vessel.
Use Case: Ideal for sci-fi world-building, as an interactive lore-browser for a game, or as a high-end UI/UX concept for digital collectibles.
Technical Breakdown: Built 100% within Omma. I focused heavily on Layouts to ensure a pixel-perfect responsive grid and optimized the scene for seamless performance. Every component is organized for clarity, mirroring the precision of an actual engineering manual.
