Details

KnackSteem is aimed to reward great and passionate article writers, hard-working individuals willing to promote their culture and interesting, original skills. It aims to remove the need for mediators and encourage cultural activities and sharing your passion with a wide audience, getting rewarded in the process.

My task was to create an eye-catching still easy to read landing page design for the new rewarding platform on steemit blockchain. Hive account@knowledges demanded me to do a really up-to-date, fresh website design, so I have used flat illustrations to explain the how knacksteem works.

Benefits / Improvements

The designer who made the logo for Knacksteem (Hive account@radudangratian) did a great job: he has chosen some great colours for Knacksteem branding. Blue with black and grey looks really well together, so making the illustrations nice and eye-catching was an easy task. I have used some illustrations from https://undraw.co/ which is great resource for free, MIT licensed, high quality illustrations. I have customised them, to match Knacksteem branding also added some small details which make them outstanding (like the small Steemit logos everywhere). This was a really fun part of the landing page design process.

My goal was to create a landing page design great whitespace/content ratio to make it easier for the visitors to understand the process of how Knacksteem works. Also played around with different shades of grey to separate the website sections from each other. 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.
