Problem Statement

Pseudo Crow Co. (PCC) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist creating unique art pieces for sale. PCC has explored existing platforms like Etsy, but realized it is difficult to expand their audience within an overcrowded online marketplace that caters to a generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ mentality.


How can we develop a website that enhances PCC's visibility and helps their artwork stand out, while also fostering a loyal community of returning customers, all within a 3-week timeframe and without any budget?

Vibrant hues emphasizing greens and purples. Gritty and frightening imagery in tune with the artist's approach. A shadowy UI design featuring bursts of color that catch the eye. Our customer possesses a distinct, unique aesthetic, which we strived to enhance by employing colors, typography, and a mood reminiscent of vintage genre literature while maintaining a refined appearance.
