INTRODUCTION
My first challenge was understanding the user flow of minting. The process can be confusing, as many existing minting systems are convoluted, requiring multiple authentication and confirmation screens before actually minting the NFT. This sometimes leads to newcomers being scammed, making minting especially daunting. My goal was to design a straightforward and efficient minting process.
My second challenge was designing a minting experience that stands out from the standard ones on platforms like OpenSea, Magic Eden, and Rarible, aligning it with a game aesthetic - something akin to “character creation” of a video game. I envisioned a main minting page that showcased the NFT collection on a large banner, making it the centerpiece of the experience. While the specific color scheme and branding of Pallet provided constraints, they also offered a foundation to design an engaging experience.
