Alexander Engzell Portfolio was honored to receive Favorite Fox on May 5, 2015

Tell by Alexander Engzell

My original inspiration when setting out to build my new portfolio was the guillotine, you see it clearly throughout the website.

The angle portfolio thumbnails are cut, the bezier curve animation, hover effects for buttons and lazy loading effect for content.

My other inspiration came from 80's movie posters for the custom typography on all portfolio titles - which are own developed slogans that represents the work in a few words.

The animations for the titles are was first made in After Effects and then exported to sprites and animated with Javascript.

The site is responsive and won over 10 Site of The Day awards in the first 2 weeks.

Logo

I wanted something minimal and clean done with as few lines as possible. Readable at smaller sizes and complement the website design and overall branding. The 'E' plays on the Sigma symbol In mathematical terms, Sigma means addition to get results.

Two logo concepts

Typography

I wanted a modern and clean font to make a bold statement, Bebas Neue is an excellent font and does just that. After some experimenting I choose Voyager for paragraph text as it has a very unique feel to it even though a sans serif, especially like the capital A and numbers.

Color Scheme

Custom Icons

Do not distract from the main design and to add clean and simple value all icons are made with a 5pt stroke and uses no rounding but the same angle. The proportions are also based on the golden ratio.
