We wanted to build something useful. High school students who are studying litereature need a tool for commenting on parts of a a book or quotes.
Users of Evernote can log in to Quotesy, add books to their Quotesy account . They and their friends can comment add quotes from the book and have discussions about them. Notes of the quotes are added to a users Evernote account.
So we created the site with a minimalistic design aesthetic. The design referenced books by using serif typefaces. We used grayscale to give visual coherence and legibility effectively.
The site uses JQuery animations that transition boxes.
