Warsaw Rising 1944 (Site of the Day - Sep 16, 2014) — UI design breakdown

This project was developed in cooperation between the Topography of Terror Foundation in Berlin and the Warsaw Rising Museum for the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Rising. Sourced from Awwwards. Use this page as a UI breakdown: reverse-engineer hierarchy, color roles, and interaction cues before you remix ideas into your own screens.
