The brief
Introduce a community meme token through its character and lore, while keeping token information and external platforms easy to reach. The website needed to be ready in three days.
My contribution
I worked independently on the website design, imagery, animation and frontend. I created the visuals with AI tools and used AI assistance to build the interface.
Finding the context.
Before designing, I reviewed related websites to understand their visual language, key sections, messaging and calls to action. That gave me context for shaping Nola’s own direction within a short timeline.
Reference websites by other creators — not my work. Current captures may differ from the versions I reviewed.

Magic meets technology.
The visual direction comes from Nola’s lore. The cat becomes a guide, portals connect the story, and Arbitrum’s identity keeps the magical world tied to its context.
A recognisable character at the centre of the experience.
Magic, blue light and the Arbitrum symbol in one visual.

The story moves from where Nola comes from to where she takes the visitor. The recurring character and portal link the chapters visually.
An entrance into the story.
The portal is more than a background image. Moving into it makes the opening feel like entering Nola’s world.

Read the Lore follows the narrative. Get $NOLA leads to token information, then labelled links take visitors to external services. The website itself does not process purchases.

The chain explorer and chart have separate labels, with a warning about links in direct messages below.
The same story, on a smaller screen.
The compact header makes room for the character and opening message. In the token section, the four destinations become a two-column grid.

Designed. Built. Live.
The website is live. In three days, I completed the design, AI-generated imagery and animation, and AI-assisted frontend. The result is a website built around Nola’s story, with clear routes to the project’s information and community.
