Design Identity

Signature Color

Snapchat Electric Yellow

#fffc00

spontaneous creativity and ephemeral moments - the color of instant inspiration and playful communication

Visual Identity

The asymmetric three-panel layout with oversized imagery dominates half the screen, creating an immersive preview experience that prioritizes visual storytelling over traditional form-heavy interfaces.

Component Style

Buttons feature generous 24px+ corner radius for a soft, approachable feel with the electric blue (#0096e5) creating strong contrast against clean white backgrounds. Cards use subtle gray backgrounds (#f7f8f9) with minimal shadows, keeping everything light and airy.

Spacing Philosophy

Generous whitespace creates breathing room between major sections, while the compact 8px search bar margins show restraint in utility areas - the brand gives content space to shine while keeping functional elements tight.

Design Principles

  • Electric yellow (#fffc00) appears sparingly but memorably as the brand anchor
  • Avenir Next at 16px/400 weight maintains readability without feeling corporate
  • Corner radius never goes below 16px - everything feels soft and touchable
  • Blue CTAs (#0096e5) dominate action hierarchy
  • Background grays stay light (#f7f8f9, #f9f9f9) never going dark or heavy

Target Audience

Gen Z and young millennials who prioritize authentic visual communication over text, value ephemeral sharing, and expect interfaces that feel more like creative tools than business software
