The Project
Sports mythos in gaming
Doublelift: A Professional Gamer's Story is a visual telling of the journey of Yiliang “Peter” Peng, famously known as Doublelift, a professional League of Legends player. The site tells his story through eight chapters highlighting big moments in his career, each accompanied with a 3D rendered model related to the chapter.
Project
I was tasked with concepting and developing an interactive website thats content told a story. We had to either write our own story or find one online to use for our site. We then ideated and wireframed around the HTML structure Skeleton to code our site.
Story
I went ahead and wrote my own story, which is a simplified biography of the professional League of Legends player Doublelift. It follows his journey as a pro gamer from his start to his current place in the scene. It is catered for someone who does not play the game or watch esports to understand it with as little difficulty as possible.
Site Goals
With this site I wanted to make an accessible story about a niche community. I also wanted to create toy-like, game-esque, visuals to accompany Doublelift's story and challenge myself by doing in 3D.
Moodboard
The 3D models were designed to create a pop of depth on the rest of the flate webpage. The style was inspired by stylized geometric illustrations, but instead of flat 2D drawings they are 3D with harsh shadows.
