Gentile: design and animation for a bakery cafe site

The task

Draw a website for a bakery cafe in Yerevan that makes you hungry from the first screen. Pastry is the heart of the place, so a guest should quickly see what is on the counter today, pick a dish and book a table. Three languages: Armenian, Russian and English.

What I did

I designed the site and made its animation and visuals. I did not build the site itself.

• A croissant on the first screen. Its layers spring into place, and a click takes it apart into rings.
• A story on scroll. A baking clip is split into frames: the croissant turns, flies apart and comes back together as the guest scrolls.
• A showcase. A ring of 20 croissant, pastry and dessert cards that spins with a finger, mouse, wheel or buttons.
• A menu. Food and drinks by section, with prices in drams and portions, photos for most dishes, plus a cart and table booking with a floor plan.
• A «pen and ink» style. Borders draw themselves as you scroll, buttons have depth, and Armenian has its own font.

The result

A finished design and animation: an appetising first screen, a showcase, a menu and booking in three languages, easy to use on both a computer and a phone.
