Approach
Week1 After couple of interaction and discussion with the customer considering the time constrain and urgency i started with looking at some design inspirations. Created a mood board and sketched out some design thoughts. I choose WIX as a development platform.
Week2 Listed out some clean and simple templates from Wix platform that matches the requirement which can be further used for setting up the store front design.
Design Option1
All the t-shirt designs were printed on Black and White color tshirts only. Even though they had other colors, but that was only by request by customer. So, my first idea was on black and white theme. I decided that B&W will be the colors, and "Simple", "Straight" and "Relevant" will be the key principles.
Theme should communicate to customer that, only the black and white tshirts are sold. Very minimal information more white space to emphasize t-shirt designs. First fold was to display cotton t-shirts, material, quality than having a human presence or a face to be less consumer focused and more business focused. Second fold was to highlight new designs. and the third fold with all design collection (a Complete Catalogue). "Simple" "Straight" and "relevant" content.
Mobile Screens
Design Option2
Wanted to give slightly different feel than the first option. Kept few trendy elements. Focused more on engaging elements. More call to action button. Design categories. More sections. So first "Wow!", "engage" and "propose" was the principles for this design.
Human faces with expression to connect emotionally. Big Bold Headings. Few lines of description. Call to action buttons on each section to explore new designs was the idea.
Customer liked option 1 and he wanted to go ahead with it, with minor changes. He believed that the design is more emphasized on cloth and designs also the color black and white looks great and designs on t-shirt with less elements around are more convincing.
Week 3 & 4 - Based on the design selection, option 1 was converted and Store front was setup, uploading content, catalogue creation, payment options integration was done. Week 5 & 6 - Customer was asked to do couple of end to end testing and provide feedback.
