Kiwi Immigration
TASK:
Qiwi has already had several project sites, and they all united in a common style in design. Our task is to develop a new, stylish website.
IDEA:
When you have to adhere to the overall style in the design, you can inevitably go into blank copying. In the same way as the customer. Kiwi, but at the same time carefully work out the little things: fonts, icons, backgrounds.
PROCESS:
A clear technical task was set before us: the customer clearly understood what should be on the site and where it should have its structure, where and what blocks should be on the page. We only needed to wrap up the finished “prototype” beautifully and inject our vision.
Since the main color of Kiwi Immigration is blue, then in the design we selected all the background images by this color: they were necessarily photos in soft colors, with blue hues or complementary colors, but always in the same style.
In the process of developing the design, we realized that we would very much like to “revive” the site so that it was not quite static. Therefore, it was decided to use some effects: for example, the process bar for the slider on the main page, a neat animation of the appearance of a submenu when hovering over a menu item, and also an animation when opening pop-up windows.

Behance Portfolio Review
Task:
Creating a landing site at the high level of sites quality, while having unique and unusual effects.
Idea:
Development of modern design, popular today glich-style.
Process:
Rating Runet, also authoritative award. We analyzed the winning sites as well as the nominees of past ratings. This was done in order to understand the level of sites suppressed in the nomination and to identify competitors. We have chosen a rough line of work.
The main criteria that were taken as the basis: unusual animation, large text, non-standard fonts. Portfolio Review 3, we set to work.

Easy School
TASK:
It is necessary to develop a website that would tell about Easy School as an educational center with a large number of areas. At the same time it is necessary that the site also combines the franchise sites of training centers in Kiev, Ulan-Ude and Krasnoyarsk. Due to the huge amount of information, it was necessary to develop an optimal site structure and menu item hierarchy so that the user on the site does not get lost.
IDEA:
Development of a full-fledged corporate website with an easy and understandable structure. The site should become the face of the Easy School company and interest the user, so unusual effects and animations were invented.
REALIZATION:
At the very beginning of our work, we faced a difficult task: the guys from Easy School wanted the site to produce an impressive effect on the user, while at the same time making it clear from the main page that you could come to the training center not only for English, but to find yourself an interesting direction .
That is why we have developed an unusual first screen: the user immediately gets on the "table", on which are laid out before him photographs - directions and schools, which are in Easy School.
