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.
The Grid is the solid base and the main rule, the mix comes from introducing visual anchors from other styles; what this work shows is that even neumorphism can be mixed with it!
"Mixing things that seem completely unmixable at first glance." That is the best way to describe a truly unique design. Combining Swiss style, a Terminal UI, and 3D feels like it should be a mess, but it works perfectly here.
The giant "VOLUME 3" typography is incredibly bold. It instantly grabs your attention and makes the whole page feel like a high-end, editorial magazine spread.
Setting a terminal UI against Swiss grid typography is a bold pairing, and the soft neumorphic 3D stops it from feeling cold for a CGI studio. How did you keep the monospace text readable on the soft shadows?
