The Growth of Esports in CS:GO, Overwatch, and LoL

Central Idea/Plan

For my capstone project, I would like to design a website focused on the growth of Esports in games like League of Legends, CS:GO, and Overwatch. The site would explore the rich histories of the games and the turning points that allowed them to draw so many eyes with their professional competitive play. I also would like to go through what it is like being a professional who works for companies who compete in the leagues that these games offer.

Front Page

As far as design goes, I want to use stack parallax effects to elongate my front page to allow maximize the image to information ratio. This page will include the introduction of the three games I am discussing. As far as color choices go, I’m thinking of using colors from the games that I am discussing. The color orange from CS:GO, brighter colors from Overwatch, and darker colors from League of Legends. Images I would pull from the live tournaments from all three games would be used as my backgrounds and I would trace their logos and implement those into the general design of the tabs where the links to the other pages are as well as down the page.

Second Page

My second page will include a nice infographic with main statistics about the games and their viewers. Design would morph along the page to, again, match the themes of the games.

Last Page

My third page can include a video about the lifestyle of esports players and how life is playing for an esports team as well as topics about where esports came from, where it is now, and where it is expected to go in the coming years.
