Jsolomon is the creation of NYC-based, Philadelphia native Jesse moldovsky. This project aims to design and create an artist website for this emerging young artist using Squarespace as a backend. I work as both the designer and developer for this entire project.
Project Goals
A contemplative space
The web experience needs to reflect the music of Jsolomun: personal and reflective. And such, the design should employ a good use of negative space.
Dynamic layout
The layout should utilize a grid-based experience that is well structured but interesting, all while utilizing animation to engage and retain user's attention.
Squarespace Powered
The website was requested to be built upon Squarespace interface. As such, I develop a custom theme based on Squarespace render engine to create a robust and natural user experience.
This was a really interesting project for me because I get to work with the client through the entire process: from conception to deployment. And figuring out how Squarespace templating work is something new for me to learn as a developer.
