FABRIC

timeless creative coding archive
FABRIC is a 6-week solo UI design project for a UMD course, where I focused on a personal interest of portfolio building and library sciences. I designed a creative coding archive that helps creative technologists contextualize design trends and technology. The key idea is that design is timeless and always influencing today's work.

PROBLEM

Creative technologists often rely on current trends for inspiration, but rarely examine the history or context about why past trends emerged, how technology influenced them, or how earlier styles shaped today's aesthetics.

UX & PAIN-POINTS

Creatives can expect familiar flows like curating collections.

Platforms push trends and curates visual same-ness. Past styles and technologies are hard to find, understand, or contextualize. No centralized tool for exploring design history.

VISUAL DESIGN

My visual brainstorm, crafting the personality of an artist who loves tech.

STYLE GUIDE

Purple and white-tinted-yellow are the primary colors. Purple and yellow are complementary, representing creativity and warmth, respectively.

The font and icons feel handwritten, artsy, and modern.

the name FABRIC refers to both a material of woven fibers —each artwork intertwined on one central platform— and to the fabric of time, reflecting how artwork is timeless, living, and always influential.

REFLECTION

This project was primarily for visual design practice more than UX and I found that moodboards are great starting points for visual design or anything artistic. I will be sharing it with my xFoundry team. Also, if you want to take my design and vibe-code, good luck.
