How I began with research

Brand Analysis

Reviewed Pepsi’s branding guidelines, focusing on:


  • Color palette (blue, white, red).
  • Logo usage.
  • Typography rules.

Identified Pepsi’s signature bold and modern visual identity as a central design element.

Competitor Analysis

Studied email campaigns from prominent brands to identify:


  • Layout best practices (e.g., hero sections, product grids).
  • Effective CTAs and their placements.
  • Mobile optimization strategies.

User Behavior Insights

Designed for key scenarios:


  • Mobile-first experience for on-the-go users like drivers and merchandisers.
  • Desktop compatibility for office-based employees accessing the email on larger screens.
  • Focused on clarity, accessibility, and ease of navigation.

Design Process

01. Conceptualization

Action items:

Sketched multiple layout ideas to explore different structures.

Prioritized:

  • A bold hero section to immediately grab attention.
  • Product highlights in a grid format for easy browsing.
  • Clear CTAs to drive action.

02. Wireframing

Action items:

Developed low-fidelity wireframes to test:


  • Hierarchy and flow of content.
  • Placement of images, text, and CTAs.
  • Navigation and footer elements.

Team’s feedback

1. Hero Section

  • The hero section lacked emphasis on branding and product identity.
  • The call-to-action (CTA) needed to be more visually prominent to grab attention.

2. Tagline and Supporting Text

  • didn’t utilize strong visual hierarchy to make it engaging or clear.

3. Product Listing

  • multiple CTAs under each product were distracting and created visual clutter.

4. CTAs (Call-to-Action Buttons)

  • Make sure to drive specific actions.

5. Footer Design

  • The two-column layout in the wireframe feels cluttered, increasing the chance of misclicks and confusing navigation.
