Etterna Online
Branding, UI
Etterna Online is a website dedicated to serving as a leader board and forum for players and enthusiasts of the game Etterna. I was tasked with updating the branding for Etterna Online and redesigning their website. My goals on this project were to make the branding more lively and cohesive while not straying too far from the utilitarian aspects of the site. The live version of this project can be viewed here.
Packs
One of the main usability issues i wanted to tweak came with the song pack page. Alongside tracking scores, one of the main functions of Etterna Online is serving as a repository for the variety of track collections that players compete on, known as song packs. These song packs can be thought of as albums, and are one of the most important parts of the player experience, so clarity and ease of searching is paramount.
Profiles
The user profiles also received a pretty large facelift, again the utilitarian purpose of the site showed with the original design, with information mostly residing within tables. However there was plenty of small places for some personality to shine through alongside usability improvements.
