Objective

I built this site for a local illustrator to showcase his work to potential clients and to serve as a landing landing page for visitors coming from his instagram.

Goals identified going into project:

• Design site to be mobile friendly to target visitors from instagram but also be responsive so that it looks good on larger screens.
• Create a comic book feel but still keep the design clean to highlight the art.
• Use a pinterest style mosaic layout for the portfolio section.

Solution

I decided to use Sanity headless CMS for content management, Gatsby.js for server side generation, Material UI for the component library, and continuous deployment was handled through Netlify with webhooks; rebuilds triggered when content changes on Sanity or source code changes on GitHub.
