  Spread Group

  Oct 2013 - Oct 2016

  An elite group of lifestyle gamers and keyboard enthusiasts powered by energy drinks have come together to create PIXELCOTTON - the next big thing in gaming. Initially started as a side project by the Spread Group, the focus of the team's interaction designer was on creating a new brand identity for the marketplace at Spreadshirt. In collaboration with Christopher Plonski, former UI, Brand & Interaction Designer at Spreadshirt, the overall look of the new brand was developed, including a redesign of the logo. A comprehensive brand guide was also created to provide direction for future designers and developers. The team also developed a comprehensive user flow for the new platform and envisioned an exceptional online store for the gaming gear industry. Show less
