01 / Overview

A digital
magazine
built from
scratch

The Daily Front is a digital magazine focused on practical insights across modern life, technology, pets and travel.

I designed and developed the website as a complete digital publishing experience. The project involved shaping the visual interface, organizing the content structure and building the implementation with Next.js, hosted on Vercel.

The final experience combines editorial content with a clean, structured interface designed to help visitors discover stories and move between categories easily.

02 / Challenge

The
problem

The goal was to create a publishing experience that could handle multiple content categories while remaining simple and easy to navigate.

01↗

CONTENT DISCOVERY

The interface needed to make different content categories easy to discover without making the homepage feel crowded.

02↗

VISUAL HIERARCHY

A digital magazine needs strong hierarchy so readers can quickly distinguish featured stories, categories and supporting content.

03↗

RESPONSIVENESS

The experience needed to remain usable and visually consistent across desktop, tablet and mobile screen sizes.

PLATFORM MIGRATION

The magazine moved to a new platform, so the design, URLs and existing posts had to carry over without breaking the experience.

I wrote
the code

This project was not only a design exercise. I also developed the website implementation myself.

Building with Next.js and deploying on Vercel gave me control over the page layouts, styling, navigation, content sections and responsive behavior, along with a simple admin dashboard for publishing new posts.

This allowed me to approach the project as both a designer and developer — thinking about the visual experience while also considering how the interface actually works in the browser.

11 / Reflection

What this
project taught me

Designing a publication is not only about making individual pages look good. The content structure has to work as a system.

Moving the magazine to Next.js and Vercel pushed me to think beyond visual design and understand the actual implementation behind the interface.

Building the entire project myself helped me connect design decisions with real development constraints.
