Mountain Explorers
| Web design and Icons Animation
Mountain Explorers is developing a platform that connects small ski resorts and freeride slopes from around the world. The idea is to bring together as many freeride-friendly destinations as possible into one website.
The project needed a clear visual style and a set of unique icons, as icons are a key element of the interface.
I was responsible for setting the visual direction of the website. I designed the homepage layout and created a custom set of icons tailored to the brand. I ensured that all design elements supported intuitive navigation and reflected the company’s vision and target audience.
To convey the feeling of snow and mountains while keeping the atmosphere warm and joyful, I chose a soft yellowish-white background, a clear light blue for logo and icon highlights, and a bright blue for UI accents. The typography supports this mood: Hammersmith One adds a friendly, open character to headlines, while Hind Madurai ensures clean readability for body text. Together with a cohesive icon set and homepage layout, the design invites users into a positive, winter-inspired experience.
The process began with hand-drawn sketches for each icon. I then refined them into clean, pixel-perfect vector graphics. Finally, I animated the icons to enhance interaction and bring visual rhythm to the interface.
I delivered the design of the website’s main page and a full set of animated icons, which together defined the overall visual style of the platform. The design direction I established met the company’s expectations and set a strong stylistic foundation for future development.
