Yay

The project aimed to design a simple and basic online magazine. The goal was to use fonts, images, and colors and create a simple and enjoyable grid for the viewer. The articles will be in chronological order and will be displayed in the grid.

The challenge

The project Yay.dev was all about doing more with less. The client wanted a simple design using just the basics—fonts, images, and colors. They had a clear idea: a cube grid to display articles. With a tight budget and an even tighter timeline, I had to wear two hats—product manager and designer—and come up with a plan that was both quick and effective.

The process

Here’s how I approached it

1

Understanding the Client’s Vision
I dove into the client’s single reference for inspiration, focusing on what they valued most in terms of style and functionality.

2

Creating a Focused Design Plan
I designed a homepage with a clean cube grid, a screen-wide menu for easy navigation, dedicated pages for articles and their authors, and a fully optimized mobile version for seamless use on any device.

3

Making the Most of Limited Tools
By focusing on typography, a simple color palette, and selective use of images, I kept the design straightforward and polished.

4

Quick Prototyping & Iteration
I quickly built and shared a prototype with the client, refined the design based on their feedback, and finalized the layout.

Conclusion

Yay.dev showed that great design doesn’t need a big budget or tons of resources. With clear priorities and a focus on the essentials, I delivered a clean, user-friendly solution on time and within budget. It’s proof that simplicity, when done right, can be powerful.
