Back in 2014, I came up with the idea of my own brand. It combines my design knowledge and my passion for Scandinavian history and mythology.

So here are my 4 versions of UI Viking concepts, kinda like a small evolution and to be honest that time I was thinking each of those versions were great, but now I look at them and they SUCK! But still, I want to share them.

But in 2014, I was so proud of it, I got to a few TOPs-10 Designer Portfolio across the internet, like Creative bloq, Medium, Designspiration and many more. One day I checked my Analytics and there were like 10+k users daily, so that was the first small achievement.[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”966″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”995″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“21“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#151520“,“weight“:“inherit“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]Later on, I saw a few dudes copied this website and changed UI Viking to PHP Viking, UX Viking, but they looked even worse than mine, lol.[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”978″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“19“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#adadad“,“weight“:“inherit“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]I do like the character drawing tho, I made it in Adobe Illustrator.[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”150px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“30“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#151520“,“weight“:“700“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]UI Viking version 2.0[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“21“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#151520“,“weight“:“inherit“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]Back in 2016, I decided to update my website and add some new look to my low-poly Viking character. So I sent him into space. All illustrations I have made in Adobe Illustrator and kept the same low-poly look & feel.  I made him a costume, and it looks like a facepalm to me now. All the elements were in SVG, so the website was really fast.[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”980″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”981″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”982″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“21“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#151520“,“weight“:“inherit“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]I submitted my new website on Awwwards and CSSAwards but got like 7.5 and 6.5 out of 10 points.

Added animations and parallax effects. The result was really cool and I do love this version, but it’s time to move on.[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”997″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”998″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”999″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][ohio_text text_typo=”{“font_size“:“21“,“line_height“:“34“,“letter_spacing“:““,“color“:“#151520“,“weight“:“inherit“,“style“:“inherit“,“use_custom_font“:true,“custom_font“:“PT Serif:400,400i,700,700i“}”]I bet in 2 years I’ll look at my current website, and like “okay, I don’t like this and that and this shit annoys me, come on dude, let’s redesign it, again…”[/ohio_text][vc_empty_space height=”150px”][vc_single_image image=”1009″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”150px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
