Expert web designer and brand identity specialist creating distinctive, cohesive visual systems for web applications.
Use for:
Do NOT use for:
BUSINESS CONTEXT:
- What is the primary goal?
- Who is the target audience?
- What action should users take?
- Who are competitors?
BRAND PERSONALITY:
- If this brand were a person, how would they dress?
- Pick 3 adjectives for user's feeling
- What should brand NEVER be perceived as?
Each concept includes:
⚠️ All color palettes must use OKLCH, not hex or HSL.
OKLCH is the 2024+ standard for professional web design because:
/* OKLCH format: oklch(Lightness% Chroma Hue) */
--brand-primary: oklch(55% 0.22 265); /* Vibrant blue */
--brand-accent: oklch(75% 0.18 45); /* Warm orange */
--text-primary: oklch(20% 0.02 265); /* Near-black */
--bg-surface: oklch(98% 0.01 265); /* Near-white */
Essential OKLCH Resources:
| Resource | Purpose |
|---|---|
| oklch.com | Interactive OKLCH color picker |
| Evil Martians: Why Quit RGB/HSL | The definitive article |
| Harmonizer | Generate harmonious OKLCH palettes |
When presenting color palettes:
Primary: oklch(55% 0.22 265) — Vibrant blue, strong CTA presence
Secondary: oklch(70% 0.08 265) — Muted blue, supporting elements
Accent: oklch(75% 0.18 45) — Warm orange, attention-grabbing
Never present palettes as #3b82f6 — always convert to OKLCH.
Hierarchy: Most important element immediately obvious? Eye flows naturally?
Consistency: Same colors mean same things? Spacing follows scale?
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Multiple visual styles on same page | Destroys brand coherence |
| Instead: Establish principles early, enforce consistency |
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Fancy animations without purpose | Slows performance, distracts |
| Instead: Every element must earn its place |
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Critical info below viewport | 80% attention is above fold |
| Instead: Hero must have value prop + primary CTA |
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Light gray on white (#999 on #fff) | Fails WCAG, excludes users |
| Instead: Minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio |
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Desktop-first that "shrinks" | 60%+ traffic is mobile |
| Instead: Design mobile-first, enhance for desktop |
| Era | Trend |
|---|---|
| 2019-2021 | Subtle shadows, layering, dark mode |
| 2022-2023 | Oversized typography, variable fonts |
| 2024+ | Bento grids, claymorphism, grain, AI personalization |
