Introduction

This is an ongoing project that I began earlier in 2025, although it's taken more of a back seat in recent months. Regardless, I hope to finish this side project before the end of the year so that I can officially add it to my portfolio. Until then, it shall remain an ongoing project.

About the Project

This project began as a suggestion from a design prompt generator that I decided to take on as a full-fledged design concept. While the original prompt was to create a ticketing website for bartenders, I felt that I could take it further and design a full application for event ticketing. This was also partially due to the current Ticketmaster website and how I thought I could design something that was similar in function better better in form.

My aim was to create an application that featured show listings and ticketing services, designed as a dashboard interface and treated like an events planner where users could find shows to attend and keep track of upcoming ones after purchasing a ticket.
While it was my first time designing a dashboard, I took the challenge on with enthusiasm and the support of various resources and references to ensure that all the native elements common to these sites were taken into account and applied in some form.

The first thing I wanted to design was the ticket, which I felt was the key component of this entire project. At its core, this project would be an extension of the styles, design decisions, and architecture of the ticket, and so the ticket would go through numerous design iterations both on paper and the digital screen in order to get every detail right.

Because this is an ongoing project, it will remain labeled as such until I am satisfied with it. As I've said, I am hoping to finish this by the end of this year and hope to be able to officially add it to my portfolio.
