Built with Framer

8-Bit Club — Framer Development & Figma Design

Vlad Sydor

8-Bit Club — Vintage Computer Hub

I designed and built a website concept for the "8-Bit Club," a fictional vintage computer club dedicated to the nostalgic golden age of classic retro games.
💡 Project Scope: Framer Development & Web Design ⚙️ Tools: Figma, Framer, GPT-Image-1, LottieFiles 🕘 Timeline: 1 week 🌐 Live Website: 8-bit-club.framer.website

🪜 Process

Wireframing: Establishing the basic structure and user flow.
Web Design (Figma): Creating the design system, color scheme, and typography.
Visuals (GPT-Image-1 & LottieFiles): Generating AI images, videos, and custom animations.
Development (Framer): Building components, optimizing for SEO, and ensuring full responsiveness.

🎨 Design System

The color palette features a vibrant mix of pink (#D4006E), purple (#840ECD), and yellow (#FFDE21), all set against a dark background. For typography, the project relies on three fonts: Press Start 2P for headings, Space Mono for body text, and Sedgwick Ave as an additional accent. My goal was to create a futuristic design with vivid colors and a nostalgic vibe.

⚙️ Tools

I designed the responsive layout in Figma before building the site in Framer. GPT-Image-1 was used for all AI-generated visuals to maintain a consistent style, and LottieFiles for animations.

⛰️ Main Challenges

Challenge #1: To create a website with a futuristic yet nostalgic feel. Solution: I generated a series of visuals using GPT-Image-1, focusing on maintaining a consistent retro-futuristic style.
Challenge #2: To ensure the website feels live and interactive. Solution: I used Framer functionality to bring the design to life with dynamic animations that react to both user hover and scroll events.

📁 Sections

1) Hero Section

The hero section is arguably the most important part of any website. My goal was to make it playful and instantly recognizable, emphasizing the retro vibe of classic game clubs.

5) 404 Page

404 Page
The "404" text animation was created entirely with LottieFiles to ensure optimal performance and a small file size. To create the other animated icons for this section, I followed a three-step process. First, I designed the initial vector shapes in Figma. Then, I used the LottieFiles Creator app to animate them. Finally, I imported the completed animations into Framer via its native Lottie component.
