New case study - tash.cards, a Y Combinator backed platform for investing in graded sports cards. Identity design, commissioned by baked.design The heart of the system is a pattern language taken from security printing. Every letter of the wordmark becomes a guilloché tile, like the engraving on banknotes and certificates, and tiles combine into endless patterns.

Nice!

Here’s a little piece from my current project. As I watch the Swiss design concept become a part of my creative DNA, I find myself constantly gravitating towards this direction in web design.

What’s really interesting is that Volume 3 studio and I are experimenting here, mixing things that seem completely unmixable at first glance.

Since Volume 3 is a CGI and VFX studio, it was crucial to incorporate a 3D dimension into their brand communication. On top of that, a Terminal UI is exactly what keeps that technical vibe going.

So, the final mix is International (Swiss) style, a Terminal UI, and a 3D feel brought to life by neumorphism. Crazy, right???

It looks simple and clean, but behind the scenes, there’s a massive amount of work on the details. We focused on all those little things that push the UX/UI into the premium segment — the things you don't necessarily see right away, but you definitely feel when you're on the page.

The work is still ongoing, so I can't dive into reflecting on the whole process just yet, but I'm gonna keep revealing small parts here.

Swiss grids on the web never get old when they're this clean. What are you and Volume 3 mixing it with?
