Pole Position

Pole Position is an F1 blog where fans can find the latest info, standings & more F1 related news. As a seasoned Formula 1 fan, I couldn't think of a better topic for my thesis project.

How did I tackle this project?

My thesis subject

During the final year of my studies (multimedia & creative technology), I had the chance to build a real-life project coached by my lecturers. I couldn't have been more pleased to choose one of my biggest interests as my subject; Formula 1.

The challenge here, though, was to give the project enough content to challenge me as a front-end developer/web designer.

Formula 1 blog

A blog is a convenient format for incorporating different streams of information. That is why I chose to design and develop a custom Formula 1 blog.

I created the design in Figma using components, design system & auto layout. Later, I translated this design into a working end product using React & Sass.

For this assignment, I was coached by lecturers from KdG Hogeschool.
