Role: UI Designer

Overview

AION is a concept for an AI app store where users can browse, test, and deploy production-ready AI tools. This was a one-page landing site designed for a friend’s contest entry. While it was a practice project, the goal was to create something polished and engaging that clearly communicated the app’s value in a single scroll.

Problem

The challenge was to explain a fairly complex idea — an AI app marketplace — in a way that felt easy, exciting, and accessible. The landing page needed to build curiosity, deliver the core message fast, and push users to sign up for early access.

Solution

I created a minimal but energetic layout that:

• Introduced the product with a bold hero section

• Highlighted key features like one-click trials and tool variety

• Used animated micro-interactions to guide the user’s attention

• Ended with a clear early-access sign-up prompt

My Approach

I kept the content light and visual. The design uses a dark base with vibrant gradients and glowing accents to create a futuristic, AI-inspired aesthetic. Typography was kept clean and readable, and each section was structured to tell a short part of the product story. I used hover animations and scroll transitions to add a sense of depth without overwhelming the user.

Key Features

• Punchy hero section with brand messaging

• Feature highlights with icons and brief copy

• Early access form for lead generation

• Smooth scroll experience with micro-interactions

• Mobile-optimized layout for fast browsing

Outcome

The result was a sleek and informative landing page that helped position the idea clearly. Though it was built for practice, the design received positive feedback and served as a great exercise in simplifying complex product messaging.
