DISCORD - Andy Burdin — Creative Direction + Design

DISCORD

Discord is one of the most popular video, voice and chat platforms across the globe. Known and used well within the gaming community, it allows users to seamlessly chat, join video and voice calls, explore activities and communities.

The brand team at Discord approached Thinkingbox to help redesign their global homepage to a more modern, fresh and engaging look & feel as the platform continued to grow and renvision their brand in the digital space.

My role included creative direction, design, oversight on animation, localization and QA prior to delivery to development. Big thanks to Graham Nhlamba, Coco Petersen, Daniela Perez, Kyle Castro, Miguel Sarroca, Matheson Murray and many more fine folks for helping bring this opportunity to life.

WEBSITE

Discord had already begun their internal redesign of the site and approached Thinkingbox to elevate the fidelity, accessibility and overall art direction.

FEATURE ANIMATIONS

Throughout the homepage, we concepted, designed and animated a series of catchy animations to call out specific features of the platform in a engaging and fresh way.

VISUAL EXPLORATIONS

Working alongside the Discord brand/web team, we iterated on several versions and explorations of homefeed modules, background treatments, overall composition and on-scroll effects, accessible typography, and much more.
