For this personal project, I designed a digital invitation with the goal of creating an immersive and atmospheric experience inspired by The Phantom of the Opera. I began the process with visual research on Pinterest, collecting imagery related to opera, candlelight, masks, roses, and baroque elegance. These visuals were brought together in a moodboard that formed the foundation for the dark, romantic, and theatrical atmosphere of the project.

I then wrote the invitation text in a formal and poetic tone, fitting the timeless and mysterious world of The Phantom of the Opera. The typography choices reinforced this feeling: Island Moments for the title to create an elegant, handwritten look, and GFS Didot for the body text because of its classic and luxurious character.

To further enhance the atmosphere, I created digital illustrations of the mask and the rose as direct references to the film. I also designed a digital candle, which later became a key interactive element within the invitation.

During the coding phase, I translated the design into an interactive digital experience. The main page presents the invitation text and illustrations, initially hidden behind a digital curtain inspired by an opera performance. As the candlelight is revealed, the text gradually appears, enhancing the mysterious and theatrical mood. Additionally, I designed an extra about page that provides background information about the film.

For the design of the thirteen gods, I followed the same design process for each deity in order to maintain consistency, while still allowing every god to develop a unique visual identity.

For each god, I started by creating a moodboard. I gathered inspiration through Pinterest, focusing on imagery connected to the specific god or goddess. I selected visuals that reflected their atmosphere, symbolism, and personality. This step helped define a clear visual direction before moving further into the design phase.

Based on the moodboard, I created a color palette for each god. The colors were chosen to conceptually and visually align with the character and meaning of the deity. This ensured that every god felt recognizable and unique, while still fitting into the larger visual system.

Next, I explored typography. I tested various typefaces and combined them with the color palette to find the strongest match. My choices were guided by readability, form, and atmosphere, ensuring that the typography reinforced the identity of each god.

As a final step, I designed a name tag for every god. This stage involved many iterations, experimenting with layout, typography, color usage, and composition. By comparing multiple versions, I was able to refine each design and ultimately select the version that best represented the visual identity developed throughout the process.
