Details

My task was to redesign knacksteem.org dashboard pages and create a few new ones. The old knacksteem UI was really simple and barebone and its colour palette was not represented knacksteem's colour palette. There was also a few typography issues.

Benefits / Improvements

Creating the dashboard design for Knacksteem was really challenging. Actually making dashboard designs is one of the most trickiest graphics tasks: finding the perfect balance between typography, content/whitespace ratio, colours. My goal was to create a clean, light, not graphic heavy UI, which works great on desktop and mobile devices. I have used bootstrap grid system while I made the design, so the making the mobile version of the frontend will be an easy task.

Knacksteem branding colors are blue, white and grey. This colors are reused on the dashboard design. Used blue colour to accentuate, also different shades of grey for good typography. Used regular and bold versions of Montserrat font, which gives great balance between headers and paragraph texts, also it is lightweight, perfect for fast loading UIs.

In total it was created 7 screen designs: Front page, post screen, post edit/publish screen, user profile page, sponsors, moderators, followers/following.
