Chiko&Roko
Chiko&Roko Art Club is a private club for NFT owners from a group of digital artists named Chiko&Roko.
Chiko&Roko platform features works by well-known artists who work in a specific genre of digital art. The nicknames Vollut, Kiwie and Fuckyou.Digital are hardly known to the masses, but they say a lot in the NFT scene.
The price of masterpieces can reach 10 ethereums, that is, up to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the exchange rate of this cryptocurrency.
Website for Chiko&Roko Art Club
A multimedia website in the format of a one-page landing page has been developed for Chiko&Roko. 3D models, animations and videos have been prepared for the site. In order for the site to work without delays, a preloader is used that downloads all the contents of the site in advance.
An animation starts after loading. The six most popular figures sold on the Chiko&Roko platform fall from the sky one by one onto the stage. The seventh, main figure is made in 3D and rotates from left to right until it meets the mouse cursor.
A spectacular opening of the site makes a wow effect and attracts visitors to, at least, scroll the page to the end.
Headings are done with Montserrat, a modern geometric sans-serif designed in Argentina.
Headings are colored in a yellow-pink gradient and typed in ExtraBlack. The same technique is used for subheadings and descriptors.
Apple uses a similar typographic technique on its site, and long, colored, bold descriptors define the style of the site no less than three-dimensional shapes do.
The gradient looks twice as good on a dark background.
The Chiko&Roko website was conceived as a super-multimedia landing page in the best traditions of contests like Awwwards. This work is extremely rich in graphics, effects and animation.
Such sites almost always use the special slow scrolling effect provided by the Locomotive Scroll plugin. Such a technique is impossible to imagine on a regular site, but in the case of a promotional site for digital art pieces, nothing else can be imagined.
As you scroll through the site, animations are activated. The “Who we are” screen, for example, shows two figures with TV noise animation that takes place against a background of iridescent gradient. This is a powerful visual technique: black and white figures and a colorful animated background provide a trendy, unusual contrast.
The “Artists” section scrolls horizontally as the user continues to scroll down the page. This section contains seven cards, one for each artist.
Clicking on the card opens information about the artist. It opens with a cartoon-style animation: a colored dot appears under the mouse cursor and effectively expands to a full-screen circle, inside which starts playing a video with a three-dimensional rotation of one of the artist's works.
Users can move between artists using the Next button, and each time it is clicked, the same animation starts. Each video has its own character and color. The slideshow is incredibly colorful and spectacular: just what you need for a modern promo site.
Even the application form is stylized after a figure. When scrolling, it unfolds with a three-dimensional effect towards the user, and the input fields are stylized as part of the figure.
The body text is typed with Graphik, a trendy neo-grotesque font that's even included in macOS. Of course, not a single block of text on such a site can do without a spectacular background, as it's done in the FAQ section.
This modest portfolio page cannot reflect the effectiveness of the site, otherwise we would have to move all the animations here. Therefore, I invite you to see it with your own eyes.
