Wix Hosted Newform Challenge
The Challenge
Thorn Black was created as a dark fantasy interactive experience exploring the mythology of forbidden alchemy and cursed potions. The challenge was to transform a fictional potion archive into a cinematic web narrative that blended storytelling, UI experimentation, and collectible-style presentation without losing usability or immersion.
The Solution
I designed a fully immersive gothic-inspired interface combining animated potion cards, symbolic alchemy systems, lore-driven typography, and atmospheric transitions. Each potion was treated like an artifact with its own visual identity, backstory, and mystical classification system. The experience balanced horror aesthetics with modern interaction design to create a world that felt both playable and cinematic.
The Result
The final project stood out for its strong visual direction, immersive storytelling, and experimental interface design. The work received recognition in the Magic Potion Design Challenge for pushing creative worldbuilding through web experiences and interactive presentation.
