If Jockie Music wanted to compete with other big bots and their awesome websites, a redesign had to be done. It lacked fundamentals in essential UX and typography. The above was one of my first UI / UX projects, which shows. You can see a live preview of the old website on the internet archive. The animated background alone uses 20% CPU!! But one must accept their dark past to move on.
How did it even come to light?! That is what I was thinking while writing this. The design above is the old initial version and it's horrendous. You might be saying, "That is not the same website in the banner", and you are correct. Its purpose is to be an interface for the user to know more about the bot, a FAQ page to answer questions on the fly without any direct support unless needed, and showcasing the bot's entire commands. The bot continued to grow until it reached a point where it needed a website. We chose winter because it's the best season. To add more flavour to the design, avatars change depending on the season. Based on the initial idea but less flat and more 3D. The bot garnered a few thousand servers (a decent number back in Discord 2018), which prompted me to make a new and unique avatar. Because it's a Discord bot and is meant to be universal for all, the design focused on that. Joakim had the idea of creating a Discord bot that would replace not just one but multiple bots simultaneously to avoid having numerous bots of different prefixes solely for playing music.Īt the start of the project, I was tasked with only the avatars for the bots.
