EUGENE MOLARI's
collection of landing pages.

These are some of my side projects where I take design licences and experiment with both front and back end code.

I get inspired by printed press, architecture, music, fashion, art and the web of course.

I like to challenge myself to turn rough ideas and graphic design into responsive web pages with a meaning.

Feel free to get in touch and let me know what you think.

Eugene's Elements landing page

Eugene's Elements

I always liked the way the period table looks, it's so well organised. One day I wondered if I could make up my name with some of the elements. The number at the top of each card is the atomic number, whereas the one at the bottom is the atomic weight. Click on each card to learn more. I used flexbox to arrange the cards and the elements within. To make it mobile friendly I mainly edited the direction of flex. I often like to use css named colours since they are easier to remember. This page features medium sea green, cornflower blue and yellow. Font Raleway.

Context landing page

Context

Context plays such a major part in the creative process. The "adjust" part of the Scamper creative thinking technique illustrates this concept. The circles in the middle are identical but because they are placed in different context they make us think otherwise. They say "there is no such thing as a bad idea but an idea applied to the wrong problem". The circles live over a css grid and adjust to the width of the page. Font PT Sans

Café Wall landing page

Café Wall

I once bumped into a building in the back streets of Camden Town which featured tiles on the ground floor arranged in this manner. I later found out reading Thinkertoys that it is actually a visual illusion called "Café Wall". The Wikipedia page shows also a building with such pattern and that's where I got the orange from. I used css flexbox on each row individually and shifted them with some negative margin. To make it work on mobile I just rotated the whole thing by 90' degees and hid/shown the caption accordingly. Font Architects Daughter.

While Life Hope landing page

While Life Hope

Sometimes we need to be reminded that as long as there is life there is hope. I wanted to combine this quote with a basic conditional statement that can be applied to many programming languages. I've seen similar concepts on t-shirts and other merchandise but I wanted to make my own one. The colour palette comes from the Monokai theme on Visual Studio Code editor, font Courier Prime

Duke of Roseland landing page

Duke of Roseland

As soon as I saw the Cinzel font I thought it looked very regal. Since I don't expect any time soon to be crowned king, I settled for the title of duke (self-assigned of course). The Roseland is one of my favourite places ever in Cornwall. I also used a double border and a box shadow. Colour cornsilk, coincidently enough.

What's Your Type landing page

What's Your Type?

This is one of my favourites. I thought it would be easier to put together 15 different font families; far from it. I got the idea from the "Just My Type" book. Click each letter to learn what font I used.

Over Entertainment landing page

Over Entertainment

Do you ever feel like you've been over entertained? Social media, billboards, tv, the internet, music at any venue, radio in the car, etc. Or indeed you over entertain yourself by watching silly YouTube videos? I used css grid to put the iframes in place and had to find videos about 10 seconds long in order not to be too demanding of the data fetch. Enabling autoplay was key to delivering the message.

Life Is A Cycle landing page

Life Is A Cycle

Whilst hearing about cycling events on the news lately, I noticed this traditional colour palette. I've been meaning to make something with it for a while since it reminds me of my childhood for some reasons. I then had to think about something that cycles and if it's true that we pretty much do the same things every day and every other length of time, life is a cycle! It was also convenient to apply a simple rotating animation, mimicking the spinning wheels of a bicycle. The bands of colours live in flexbox rows as I prefer that to design assets. Font Baumans was round enough to fit the theme.

Judgin landing page

Judgin

I was intrigued by the way the phonetic transcription of my name looked. I liked how it features two long suprasegmentals (the little triangles) and how the postalveolar resembles a number 3. After I drafted it, I came across a blueprint and thought the colour palette and thin font weight would go well together. Font Gothic A1.

Donut memory game

Donuts Memory Game

Memory card game inspired by Tania Rascia's version. Themed with donuts from Unsplash with credits in each file name. Font Baloo Bhai 2.

Prime Time landing page

Prime Time

Here's an analog clock showing only prime numbers. The actual mechanism comes from the Wes Bos Javascript 30 clock exercise. The numbers live within an underlying css grid. Font Titillium Web partly chosen because it's designed by some compatriots at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, who happen to have an awesome website.

Travel the World landing page

Travel the World

Inspired by the logo of the website for Visit Lisboa, the capital of Portugal. Font Open Sans.

Web Themed Eye Test landing page

Web Eye Test

I'm sure someone else has come up with this idea before but I wanted to make my own version. It was a little time consuming to get the proportions right. I also had to find a way to center align the letters on each row as the extra letter spacing would add space to last letter as well. Font BioRhyme.

Eugene in Chinese

Chinese Eugene

Have you ever wondered how your name looks like in Chinese characters? and in the colours of the Chinese flag? Here's mine, I just used Google translate. There were not many Google fonts for Chinese though but I did find Noto Sans TC.

Numbers Stack landing page

Numbers Stack

I was considering to learn to do card tricks, just for the sake of doing something cool with my hands away from the screen. Whilst browsing a website I bumped into the 45s Playing Cards. Then just by adding 1 and 2 at either end, I made up the year of birth of Leonardo da Vinci. Lexend Deca font family.

MTA E Train landing page

E Train

Inspired by an MTA E Train t-shirt I bought when I visited New York City in 2004. Helvetica seems to be the font family used by the MTA but I didn't have a licence for it so I opted for Montserrat on the train letter and Libre Franklin on the train route which I reckon they are close enough. Lastly I got the actual blue colour from the MTA brand guide.

Life Coach landing page

Andrew Taylor - Life Coach

A friend of mine asked me to put together a landing page for his new life coaching business, this is its dummy version. I got the image of the bloke from Unsplash but I personally took the background image on Hampstead Heath. Prompt font.

Contrast landing page

Contrast

Contrast theme with nested css flexbox rules and somehow responsive font size. Odibee Sans font family.

Clear Vision landing page

Clear Vision

Inspired by an Eyevan 7285 advert on an issue of Monocle magazine. Unusual implementation of the direction CSS property and oversized images. Photos sourced on Unsplash, see the alt attribute for authoring. Space Mono font family.

Fluorescent Jazz landing page

Fluorescent Jazz

I saw this design in a book whilst browsing in a second-hand shop. I thought I would replicate it with a jazz theme: Dexter Gordon: Boston Bernie, John Coltrane: My Favourite Things, Hank Mobley: Soul Station. Work Sans font family.
