Unlike last year’s colour of the year (you can see the blog write-up and challenge entry for Radiant Orchid by clicking here<\/a>), I was actually excited about the new colour of the year, Marsala. I even fawned over the Sephora + Pantone Universe’s collection<\/a>, but passed it up because I have very fair skin and cannot pull off the very beautiful (and highly pigmented) Marsala. Sigh.<\/p>\n

The Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n

This challenge<\/a> was to design an e-learning template or interaction using Marsala as the primary colour. I may have gone a little overboard with the Marsala-usage, but when in Rome…<\/p>\n

The Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initially I was going to create some kind of makeup application tool, inspired by my visit to Sephora<\/a>, but I had some fantastic icons kicking around from a recent Creative Market<\/a> purchase, so I wanted to make use of those. After perusing the icons, I settled on the fitness set because it is a New Year after all, and what resolution is one of the most popular of resolutions? To get fit\/join a gym\/exercise more\/eat better, etc. Using the icons as inspiration, I set out to create a simple interaction to highlight some solid fitness tips.<\/p>\n

I first formatted my background to Marsala, added a directional header (using a Marsala tint), and then added and formatted the icons. Originally the icon background were a really nice taupey-beige, so I made them a bit more Marsala-y and then added layers with tips for each icon. I set each icon trigger to display the relevant layer when clicked.<\/p>\n

As for the player, I removed customized the colours to be more Marsala-esque and added a slew of resources from some of my favourite fitness gurus and sites.<\/p>\n

The Result<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the interaction turned out well, and it offers practical tips and resources for maintaining those fitness goals you resolved to maintain in 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Marsala\"<\/a><\/p>\n
