Self-initiated concept / Web & Art Direction
Lagom
I created a self-initiated e-commerce redesign concept for a skincare brand, covering the homepage, product pages, responsive layouts and checkout.
The concept needed to present skincare products clearly without relying on dense promotional layouts.
I used editorial spacing, restrained typography and soft product photography while keeping prices and purchase actions easy to find.
Art direction and moodboard, homepage, product grid, product detail, cart and checkout — responsive across desktop and mobile.
01 / The idea
A restrained shop with a clear purchase path.
Audience
Shoppers who compare ingredients and product information before buying.
Position
Editorial layouts with direct product hierarchy and visible commerce controls.
Status
Self-initiated concept — no client brief or live commerce data.
02 / Art direction
Let the product and the space do the persuading.
I set the tone before the interface: soft product photography, pale surfaces and generous whitespace, so the range is always the loudest thing on the page. Type stays quiet and consistent, which lets a single product shot carry a whole section without extra decoration.
03 / The tension I designed around
Calm that still converts.
The risk with a minimal shop is that "calm" slides into "unclear" — the buy button dissolves into the mood. So price, add-to-cart and the checkout path stay deliberately firm and obvious while everything around them softens. Restraint is a decision about where to spend attention, not an excuse to hide the sale.
04 / The flow
One tone, all the way to checkout.
The same restraint carries end-to-end: homepage, product grid, product detail, cart and checkout. Self-initiated concept, presented as art direction and UI — no performance claims.
Selected output
From art direction to a complete shopping path.
The sequence moves from visual tone to responsive browsing, product detail and checkout without repeating near-identical screens.
