Project Information

The Wix Studio Web.Lab is a selective web design program that blends technical skill-building with creative exploration and professional growth. With guidance from mentors, speakers, and guest lecturers, 13 participants were invited to develop unique websites using tools like imagemaking, typography, and grid systems. Each project highlights a specific Wix Studio feature to tell a visually compelling story.

I work with ‘Gradient’ as my feature, during 3-months of the program. My design concept is centered around enjoying the visual experience of gradients and the full spectrum of colors used throughout the website. Beyond aesthetics, I was inspired by how modern music genres—like gradients—are often blends of multiple styles. This sense of harmony and fusion in music felt like the perfect metaphor for gradients, where colors mix to form something new and unexpected.

I selected visual shapes and colors to represent four key music genres—pop, rock, electronic, and hip-hop—and used them to develop visual components across the site. As users scroll, the transitions in color and form represent a continuous blending, both visually and conceptually. It all ties back to the theme of the site: ‘Breaking down Barriers.’
