Unheardof
A fashion-forward brand experience for a real Downtown Cincinnati streetwear boutique — bold type, real storefront photography, and no fake store.
Story first. Store never.
Est. 2008 · Downtown CincinnatiA brand experience, deliberately not a Shopify clone.
Designed
A four-page brand showcase: home, the story (about), a look at what they carry (shop), and visit.
Intended to
Turn a real 2008 founding story, the shoe-wall centerpiece and real storefront photography into something that feels like the brand — without rebuilding checkout, inventory or accounts that were never asked for.
Considerations
Oversized headlines, a cream/black/orange-red palette, wide photographic strips, and clear “sample categories” labeling wherever products appear.
The shoe wall. A full-width photographic strip — the store’s most photographed feature, given the whole viewport.01 / 05
Editorial
The story, told tall.
On a phone the about page reads like a magazine feature: one oversized headline, one photograph, one paragraph — then the next. Founding, name origin and in-store artwork each get their own beat.
Orange-red is used for exactly one thing at a time: a label, a rule, or a button.
Our story. Storefront photography at full width, the 2008 founding, and the artists behind the graphics.02 / 05
Shop by category. Sample categories on black, each labeled as a sample — nothing here pretends to be a working store.03 / 05
A look at what we carry. Photography-led, honestly labeled.04 / 05
Visit. Address, hours and a map placeholder for the Downtown storefront.
Design details
Loud type. Quiet everything else.

Cream instead of white, so the black feels printed rather than lit.
