Journey

A one-page scrolling experience of the indie adventure game, Journey. The brief was to design and code a single-page website experience, using an excerpt of a text of choice.

With consideration of the top to bottom reading experience of websites, the website creates a linear narrative that reveals parts of the excerpt over time. The text is coupled with simple line illustrations of the main character in the game, standing amongst different landscapes.

Upon entering the site the zen-like music coupled with the interactive text establishes a peaceful space which invites the reader to enter a tranquil state of introspection. To further explore this idea of a ‘journey’ over time, the background is a gradient colour that becomes lighter over time to reflect a sense of enlightenment.
