Daruma Course Online Training Site Mockup

Daruma Courses website mockup for homepage and search page, a fictional company, tweaked slightly from last version.

Im very pleased at how the Daruma doll turned out, it was originally pretty much all vector based with a few texture brushes in it using Affinity Photo but have removed the textures in the latest version. Making it 100% vector. Vector brushed in the Japanese characters and lots of curves with blur and various layer masking. The doll is symbolic, because of the method of painting its eyes in to set and achieve goals, and this I felt was an ideal icon for an online course directory, while also gamifying the process by collecting the doll tokens as you progress through courses.

The colour palette is from the traditional doll and have followed similar styles of websites for the amount of information displayed and certain aspects of an online course site, for instance, the option to teach and use it for business.
