OldView- Vintage Photography & Living History Platform (UI/UX Design)
Story
OldView is a web platform concept designed for history lovers, photographers, and travellers to explore vintage places and stories.
The goal was to create a clean, image-first experience that allows users to discover historical photos, compare past and present locations, and contribute their own content.
The design focuses on strong visual hierarchy, grid-based layouts, and timeless typography to keep the experience intuitive and engaging.
Should I go for left or right? Focusing on updating and finishing up my portfolio... and then I came across this crossroads. Another alternative is to make them switchable themes through a toggle, but I still need to decide which should be the default.
Left is better because the text is readable, the overall blue background is not flashing to the eyes as compared to the right one.
For the top right button " Start a project ", you can add some animation so that it stands out and encourage users to click on it.
