Overview

This is project from a module called "Layouts and Organising Information. Creating Foundation for your Design." by Anton Repponen, Co-founder of Anton & Irene.

In this short project, we were tasked to design an online news publisher for any topic of our choice which I chose flowers and nature related because of my love for florals.

The Pages

Bangkok Blooms

Bangkok Bloom is a theoretical online newspaper outlet that publish articles related to flowers, and nature daily for people in Bangkok. The website is divided into 3 parts, a homepage, a long read (special monthly article) and a short read.

Homepage

Short Read

For normal articles that is updated daily, the short read page is designed to include all types of usual topics that is published by Bangkok Bloom.

Reflection

Feedback Matters

Even though this project is quite short, I learnt to realize the power of showing your messy design work, and asking for feedbacks. During my time in Anton's class, I could have used my time better, and ask for his input more to create an even better result. For next works to come, I will strive to ask for more feedback along the way.
