THE IMAGINED BRIEF
What would the visitor need?
An imagined objects label needs to let shoppers understand materials, compare pieces and explore a collection without false stock or checkout promises.
ZX7 / SELF-INITIATED WEBSITE CASE STUDY
The design behind
ZX7 OBJECTS.
What exists is this functioning editorial website prototype, its page hierarchy, original illustration assets and tested interactions. The editorial e-commerce brand, project details and proposed business are imagined. This is not commissioned client work.
THE CORE IDEA
A specific design response.
Treat every product page like a small exhibition: form first, then a useful explanation, then an honest next step.
DESIGN DECISION · 01 / Image hierarchy
Image hierarchy
Oversized first-party object drawings show proportion and silhouette before decorative sales language.
DESIGN DECISION · 02 / Material context
Material context
A dedicated materials page connects surface, finish and care language to the objects instead of hiding it in tiny product specifications.
DESIGN DECISION · 03 / Real navigation
Real navigation
Collection and individual object routes preserve browsing context; people can move through the work rather than jump between static posters.
DESIGN DECISION · 04 / Honest interaction
Honest interaction
The sample bag uses session-only local state. There is no payment, order, stock or fulfilment system, and it never pretends otherwise.
ACROSS DEVICES
Same clarity, different space.
On a phone the collection collapses to readable single-column detail, clear image order and reachable bag controls; on desktop the editorial balance has room for slower comparison.
TEST NEXT
What is still unknown?
Put the prototype in front of five real shoppers and ask each to find a material, compare two objects and explain what the bag would do. Fix unclear copy or paths before any commerce integration.
THE HONEST BOUNDARY
Studio concept: independent, fictional work.
Everything is fictional: no real object inventory, pricing validation, customer reviews, orders or commercial results. This is a front-end prototype, not a record of client work or business outcomes.
