Navigation -
The navigation is quite simple and since
it only consists of 4 links, I have decided to keep this uniform across devices. To
ensure that the navigation is uniform on
smaller screens, I will add simple media
queries to reduce the space between the
title and the links.
The font for the navigation will be IM
FELL PICA as this is the primary font for
the site.
As this font is unique and intrinsinctly
linked to Taylor Swift's brand, this acts as
brand identification and therefore
resulted in my decision to forego the use
of a specific logo in the nav bar.
The simple navigation is therefore easy
to understand and adheres to the
minimalist feel I aim to achieve
Title -
The home page will say Taylor Swift. This
is to alert the user what the site is about.
Image -
The home image will be an image of
Taylor Swift. Because I wanted the home
page to be quite minimal, a photo that is
inline with the theme of the site seemed
like an appropriate choice to add more
context for the site while not overloading
the Ul of this page.
These elements are aligned to the center
in order to establish visual hierarchy as
the visual elements are in focused view
for the user.
Call to Action -
This text is used to inform the user why
they should log in and click the button.
This short description gives further
context for the page.
Log In Button -
This button will be filled in with a colour
darker than the tones of the rest of the
page to establish visual hierarchy. This
draws the users attention to the button
as the functionality of this page is reliant
on the button.
This button allows the user to
authenticate the Spotify API request and
will start the chart calls.
footer -
This is a simple footer that will stay
consistent across the entire site. This
consists of my name so that the user is
aware of who made the site. I have also
added links to other relevant links to the
creation of the site that is of more
interest to my markers than to a
recreational visitor of the site. This allows
markers access to code references, my
figma file for more insight into my design
and the documentation for the spotify
api.
The Footer is created using the same
font as the navigation bar but in a much
smaller font-size and lower opacity
because this is secondary information
that does not need to be initially
apparent to the user.
