My goal was to create a high-converting landing page for a fashion service. I brainstormed with DeepSeek (AI) to generate options that would allow me to demonstrate multiple UX principles. We settled on 'StitchSavvy - AI Personal Fashion Concierge' because it:

- Combines trending topics (AI + sustainability)

- Allows demonstration of both tech and fashion UX

- Fills a visible market gap between subscription boxes and fast fashion apps

- Provides clear user problems to solve (morning stress, decision fatigue)

Device Type: Mobile-first responsive design (375x812 viewport)

DESIGN PROCESS EXPLANATION

Approach:

"My design process followed UXcel's recommended learnings, applying 12 Landing Page exercises and 8 UX Writing Strategy exercises systematically:

A. Research & Strategy Phase:

  • Competitive analysis revealed a gap in sustainable, AI-powered daily styling
  • Target audience: Time-poor professionals valuing convenience and ethics
  • Defined core value proposition: "Daily outfits + AI personalization + Sustainability."

B. Visual Design Decisions:

  1. Color Palette:
  • Charcoal (#2D3436): Sophistication, readability

Rationale: Charcoal provides excellent contrast against an off-white background (15:1 ratio), while being softer than pure black, which aligns with the sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.

  • Sage Green (#55EFC4): Sustainability differentiation, primary CTAs

Contrast Note: Sage Green on Charcoal text has a 14.53:1 ratio (WCAG AA & AAA compliant).

Sage Green on Off-white has a 1.45:1 ratio (not compliant for text), so it's used with dark text overlay.

  • Dusty Rose (#E66767): Fashion warmth, secondary accents

Rationale: Dusty Rose adds warmth and fashion-forward appeal without being too feminine or overwhelming. It's the "personality" color.

  • Off-white (#FDFDFD): Minimalist canvas, reduced eye strain

Rationale: Off-white is warmer than pure white (#FFFFFF), reducing eye strain while maintaining a clean, minimalist appearance. It creates better depth when paired with subtle shadows.

WHY SAGE GREEN (#55EFC4) IS ACTUALLY BRILLIANT FOR STITCHSAVVY

1. Competitive Differentiation

  • Industry Norm: Fashion tech is dominated by:
    • Black/White/Pink
    • Black/White/Blue (Amazon, Zalando)
    • Black/White/Gold (luxury brands)
  • Sage Green Opportunity: No major competitor owns this color space. It makes StitchSavvy instantly recognizable.

2. Sustainability Signal

  • Color Psychology: Green = nature, growth, eco-friendly
  • Target Audience: 73% of millennials are willing to pay more for sustainable products (Nielsen)
  • Brand Positioning: Unlike competitors who "add" sustainability, StitchSavvy bakes it into the brand identity through color
  • Visual Cue: Every time users see the CTA button, they subconsciously reinforce "this brand cares about the environment."

3. Emotional Resonance

  • Fresh & Modern: Not "corporate green" (darker, traditional)
  • Optimistic: Brighter than olive, more sophisticated than lime
  • Calming Effect: Studies show mint/sage greens reduce anxiety - perfect for a service that reduces "outfit anxiety."
  • Gender Neutral: Appeals to all genders (unlike pink or blue)

4. Fashion Industry Context

  • Emerging Trend: Sage/mint green is rising in fashion:
    • Pantone Color of the Year 2022: "Glacier Lake" (blue-green)
    • Luxury brands: Bottega Veneta's "Parakeet," Jacquemus' mint
    • Sustainability movement: Brands like Reformation use earth tones
  • Positioning: Makes StitchSavvy feel forward-thinking rather than following trends

THE COMPLETE COLOR STRATEGY

Charcoal (#2D3436) - The Foundation

Why not black (#000000)?

  • Pure black creates harsh contrast, eye strain
  • Charcoal is sophisticated, softer, and more premium
  • Better for minimalist aesthetic (feels intentional, not default)
  • Creates depth when layered (charcoal text on off-white vs. pure black)

Why not a lighter gray?

  • Needs sufficient contrast for readability
  • Charcoal provides a 12.68:1 ratio of off-white (AAA accessibility)
  • Still reads as "black" but with personality

Fashion Context:

  • High-end fashion brands often use charcoal/anthracite
  • Associated with sophistication, timelessness
  • Works with EVERY other color in the palette

Dusty Rose (#E66767) - The Personality

Why not bright pink?

  • Bright pink (#FF69B4) is a juvenile, "fast fashion" aesthetic
  • Dusty Rose is sophisticated, fashion-forward
  • Works across genders (not "girly" pink)
  • Earthier, more sustainable feel

Why this specific hue?

  • Blue undertone (E6 = 90% red) makes it versatile
  • Desaturated enough not to compete with Sage Green
  • Warm but not aggressive
  • Historical fashion context: "Dusty Rose" is a classic couture color

Psychological Effect:

  • Warmth + approachability
  • Humanizes the tech aspect (AI can feel cold)
  • Subtle nod to fashion without being cliché

Off-white (#FDFDFD) - The Canvas

Why not pure white (#FFFFFF)?

  • Pure white creates glare, eye fatigue
  • Off-white is warmer, more welcoming
  • Creates better depth perception
  • Feels more "premium" and intentional

Why this specific off-white?

  • #FDFDFD has barely perceptible warmth
  • Still achieves AAA contrast with charcoal
  • Neutral enough to let other colors shine
  • Medical research: Warmer whites reduce digital eye strain

2. Typography:

  • Playfair Display (headings): Fashion elegance
  • Inter (body): Mobile readability, modern feel

3. Imagery Strategy:

  • Hero: Relatable professional using app (aspirational yet achievable)
  • Icons: Reinforce value props without text reliance
  • Consistent tone: Authentic, diverse, lifestyle-focused

This is a really good start, the design looks really good.

However, the "full project" shows the same thing as the case study, just the scrollable wireframe on a mockup. I would recommend showing your layers in a Figma file if anything in the full case study, but I also would have liked to see more of the process.

You did a good job of describing your design rationale but I don't see any research or ideation. A lot of this comes off as being made / written with AI, so you might want to show more that demonstrates that you made this.

Hi Mindy, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of my StitchSavvy landing page submission. Your feedback was incredibly valuable and helped me understand how to better showcase my design thinking process. While I used AI (DeepSeek) as a brainstorming partner and copy refinement tool—similar to how professionals use design tools—every design decision, layout, and final execution was made by me. The AI helped generate ideas and refine language, but the strategic thinking, visual design, and UX decisions are my own work. I've also updated the "View full project" link; now it should take you to the Figma canvas instead of the prototype. Your feedback helped me realize that even within exercise constraints, I can better communicate my strategic thinking. I've learned how important it is to make the design rationale visible, not just present the final result. Thank you again for pushing me to improve my presentation skills.
