TT.51- Brutalist Web Design

A website designed for a group of skateboarders using Brutalist design principles. I wanted something to represent the ethos of the skateboarding culture and draw it into the world of design.

I fount that Brutalism is characterized as youthful rebellion against soft, corporate, crowd-pleasing styles such as flat or material design that have become ubiquitous on the modern web. In contrast to traditional brutalism, the appeal now seems to be “its ruggedness and lack of concern to look comfortable or easy.”

This seemed an almost "too good to be true" connection between the punk, carefree and rebellious nature of the skateboarding culture since its inception in the 70s so I crafted my own guidelines to bring the two together in one project.
