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.

Context
Self-initiated concept
Year
2026
Role
Web design, art direction and responsive layouts
Focus
Web design, product imagery and commerce flow
Challenge

The concept needed to present skincare products clearly without relying on dense promotional layouts.

The idea

I used editorial spacing, restrained typography and soft product photography while keeping prices and purchase actions easy to find.

Built

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.

Interested in this kind of web and art direction work?
