DeviantArt 19th Birthday - Key Art

Overview

With the public launch of DeviantArt Eclipse, 2019 became a year of change for the world’s largest internet art community. In sync with the site’s yearly anniversary, DeviantArt launched its 19th Birthday Celebration Campaign, prompting community members to create and share art with transition as the central theme. As principal designer, I executed the design, illustration, and animation of all visual assets for the campaign.

Responsibilities

While working alongside Creative Studio and Product Marketing teams, I established the playful aesthetic for the campaign’s creative—and executed it visually across web design, illustration, animation, and community marketing graphics.

I took inspiration from mixed-media art and paper-craft to set the campaign’s creative direction. And when designing and illustrating the landing page’s key art, I incorporated some of DeviantArt’s brand history and community easter eggs to reflect the campaign’s content and copywriting messaging.

And in collaboration with the front-end development team, I worked in an iterative design process to ensure I packaged production-ready assets and deliverables for page layouts and interactive elements

Community Art Template

To support the community call-to-action, I designed and illustrated the campaign’s prompt template used by artists to create their submissions. The base illustration features a pair of DeviantArt characters and animates to include a more developed scene featuring more DeviantArt originals. The animation demoed how submitting artists can use their own creativity for their work.
