We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Stella Guan about their original and creative Web Design design work. Stella Guan is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original web design works.
Stella Guan ("SG") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work The Ventroom Web Design. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
SG : The main idea behind this design is that there is growing frustration with online dating. The type of people we meet online, the kind of interaction we have online and the messages we receive online are making us feel discouraged about actually meeting someone there. I want to create a simple platform for people to share their dating experience while reading other people's take on common issues that trouble a lot of us, such as dating burn-out, sexual harassment, shopping cart mentality etc.
SG : I want this simple platform to make people resonate with common online dating dilemmas and facilitate ongoing conversations about the modern dating experience.
SG : I plan to launch it to reach a broad audience. I want to gather a large amount of user submission so that I could utilize this data to create a report in the form of data visualization and interactive infographics.
SG : It took me about 3-4 months from ideation to revision to finally starting the design.
SG : I designed this as a personal project, which will be published on my blog (http://www.dressonoma.com) that covers relationships, issues, money, career and fashion.
SG : I own the exclusive right to this project.
SG : Millennials (men and women) who are familiar with online dating.
SG : My design combines bold use of gradients, a quirky style of illustration and a highly interactive header animation that flows with the mouse.
SG : I use Sketch to mockup the design and I'm working with a developer to launch the website.
