Korty EO - Youtuber and Creator

A Fansite for Korty EO

Design by Isaac Fayemi

🤷🏽‍♂️ About

👉🏽 I built this website as part of a web exploration series I'm starting in collaboration with designers. It is basically a translation of Korty EO's (a Youtuber/content creator in Lagos, Nigeria) amazing persona and work into a digital experience. I worked on it with a UI and motion designer (names and handles in the credits section ), while I handled art direction and development.

✅ Goals:

To build a Web Portfolio that will:

🏷 Translate Korty's life and work into a meaningful digital experience.

🏷 Communicate her experiences in the most visually exciting way possible.

🏷 Show off a gallery of her images with motion.

🧱Challenge:

👨🏽‍💻 Art direction and curating ideas/mood boards from basically no reference point.

💪🏼 Solution:

Created a notion document with the designer - Isaac Fayemi and started filling it with random ideas we thought captured the essence of Korty's brand. Moved on from there to thinking about typography, layout, hierarchy, and motion design.
