the following image on the left is my craft annotation for studio elana schlenker and screenshots of the original site on the right.
you’ll find my annotations on the homepage, color usage, organizational structures, and navigation.




  • Homepage - bright, bold colors and bold black sans serif text
    • Interactive elements 
      • Images that fade in once you hover over a checkerboard
      • Title/Name that jumbles and shakes upon hover
      • End of homepage has moving gray banner bar with words that becomes rainbow when hovered over 
      • Shaking buttons when hovered over 
  • 2 Ways to navigate
    • Scrolling down homepage
      • Click on title “Studio Elana Schlenker” to return to homepage
    • Using right sidebar (hashtag icon) 
      • Wherein everything is organized into clients, industries, type, collaborator, service, things, year, etc. 
        • If you click on a list item, it deploys a pop-up on the top of the page with the list item name and related tags, as well as an image and title
        • It does so for every related object under that list item 
          • If you click on the pop-up list item, it takes you to that list item’s dedicated site page
  • Other pages
    • @ symbol leads you to the about page of Elana Schlenker

    • Consistent color palette throughout the site 
  • Organizational structures
    • # menu takes you to a group of columns of varying lengths that contain all list items for each category
    • Individual dedicated pages for specific list items begin with a statement photo on top and scroll vertically down, flipping between text and image ever so often until the end of the page 
    • End of the page contains the same tags you would have seen earlier 
    • End of page includes a backward and forward arrow (on opposite sides) with previews of what works precede or follow the current one you are viewing  
  • Angles and Elements
    • Everything feels angular, crisp, and sharp – including the projects
