Mutua Matheka is a Kenyan-based photographer, well-known for taking amazing photos that showcase the awe-inspiring beauty of our lovely continent, Africa. He has been offering this photos for free as wallpapers on his website, and Wallpaper Monday Android app.
Mutua wanted to go even further...to get his work in the hands of a lot of people and at an affordable price, and thus he launched the Matheka Market. He approached us and commisioned us to handle the project.
The brief was well, quite brief - an online marketplace that was very user-friendly, could work on any device and was so lightweight that it could load on an Edge connection. And to that we said...Challenge Accepted!

TYPEFACES
Selecting the fonts for this one was a bit tricky as there was very little text on the site. I finally settled on combining a serif and sans-serif font. For the serif font, I chose the no-nonsense Chaparral Pro by Adobe and a more dynamic PT Sans by ParaType for the sans-serif.
Serif - Chaparral Pro Regular by Adobe
Sans-serif - PT Sans by Paratype

THE MOCKUP
They say all the magic, in code and design, starts with a blank piece of paper and a pen. So I sketched up a few layouts and this was the winner.
