A studio site with a lot of movement.

The website of Nova, a design studio in Berlin making identities, campaigns and websites for independents: near-black, one acid lime accent, heavy type and posters that move. The studio and its clients are made up; the site is real, down to the contact form.

The Nova Studio website: the headline We build brands that move culture in bone and lime on near-black, beside a pile of client posters.

Posters: Drawn in code
Content: Edited by the studio
Contact form: Real email

The idea

A design studio has to look like one

A studio's website is its first piece of work a client sees. It had to feel bold and alive without getting in the way: the work up front, a page for every project, and a studio that can add new work without a developer.

What I built

Movement with a purpose

An opening that moves. The headline rises word by word beside a pile of client posters that shuffles every few seconds, with pause and next buttons.
Work covers in 3D. Point at a project and its posters spread, lift and tilt towards the mouse.
A page for every project. The brief, what the studio did, what changed, the results, the posters and the next project.
Posters drawn in code. Two-colour risograph prints, with halftone dots and inks a hair out of register, a set for each client.
Content the studio edits. Projects, services and the process are all edited in Sanity Studio, and the site updates within a minute.
A contact form that sends real email. Checked twice, protected from bots, delivered with Reply-To set to the sender.

The result

Bold, but still fast and easy to use

Scroll effects use the browser's own scroll animations, so they cost almost nothing, and browsers without them simply show everything in place. The custom cursor appears only with a mouse, and everything stays still for people who turn motion off.
