West Coast Survival Society
UI/UX — Web Design
Year: 2024
Tasked with designing a website inspired by a book, I chose 100 Deadly Skills: Survival Edition—a title I’ve kept close for nearly a decade. Its practical, no-nonsense approach to survival sparked the idea for the West Coast Survival Society, a platform dedicated to helping people on the West Coast master wilderness survival techniques. I dove into survival blogs and websites to gather inspiration, aiming for a layout that felt clean, straightforward, and grounded in forest-inspired tones.
To echo the book’s rugged aesthetic, I incorporated a typewriter-style typeface that nods to its original design. The final website is a modern, easy-to-navigate hub that captures the spirit of self-reliance while staying true to the book’s gritty tone—designed for anyone looking to be more prepared, capable, and confident in the great outdoors.
