Brief
Jim is a hobbyist with a passion for beer. He also works with beer brands in his day job. He needed a website for his side project The Little Beer Corporation.
Design a website that communicates the ethos: “Live a big life, drink a little beer”. People should be able to purchase beer via the website and sign up for a variety of services Jim is offering.
Solution
The branding provided a great springboard for the design itself, punchy colours and a personal feel. There was a clear focus on the product pages, which included a lot of information and had to be tailored accordingly. I designed some of the content pages as well to really bring everything together. I added in some little touches via CSS3 such as the bottles chinking together when you hover over them, the spinning hand etc.
We did a photoshoot for this project, focussing on the beers but also including texture shots of ingredients used. These are used in the banners and scattered throughout the site.
