Inspiration
I've always been a huge fan of Riot Games and their League of Legends franchise, so when they released I was excited to watch it. The show was amazing! The story, characters, art,nimation were beautifully crafted. Originally, I wanted to conceptualize a website based on the show, but when I discovered that an official website already existed, my idea turned into a redesign project!
The original website was already fantastic, but I wanted to offer a different take on it. I was inspired by the official art book, which is presented from Jinx’s perspective and filled with her scribbles and chaotic style. I aimed to redesign the website with a similar aesthetic.

Website Analysis
To truly capture the essence of the show and Riot Games’ brand, I analyzed their other popular game websites along with the originaebsite.

The Designs
While I wanted to give the website a different theme, I also focused on preserving the essence of the original design. I changed the logos, adjusted the layout, and reordered elements, but I kept key content intact. I also stuck with a darker theme, as it is both a popular trend and aligns well with Riot Games' signature style.
