I handled the full art direction and design of Échec Royal, a fictional chess club rebrand completed in under a week. The club was relaunching from scratch and needed a new visual identity and design for its digital platform. Given full creative freedom, I developed a direction that honors the elegance of chess while embracing a modern web aesthetic. The design features light and dark modes, inspired by the two opposing sides of a chess game, using a palette of beige and deep brown. I also focused on smooth scroll behavior and refined interface animations to guide the user experience.
