WCI
World Creativity & Innovation

World Creativity & Innovation (WCI) is a worldwide community dedicated to celebrating all forms of creativity. Their existing website lacked functionality, aesthetics, and ease-of-use. WCI needed a fresh design and usability approach that balanced visual appeal with clarity in messaging. They also needed full ownership after launch, with the ability to update the site themselves.

World Creativity & Innovation: Before
WCI Before
The WCI team wanted a visual identity for the site that represented their commitment to the expression of creativity, while tying into the organization’s brand. With this challenge in mind, I experimented with AI image generation that blended unique creative imagery with WCI’s brand colors, eventually using AI throughout.
WCI Visual Identity
One of the biggest challenges with the WCI site was a complex events registration system that wasn’t functional on their existing site. With this and other development complexities, I had to solve problems that I had never faced before…on the fly. AI WordPress code generation, for which I had no prior experience, turned out to be a lifesaver.

WCI After

*Note: Subsequent content and functionality changes have been made by the WCI team that do not fully reflect the original redesign's navigation and styles (as seen in the example above). The overall look and feel of the site remains intact.

About

John Wohlt - Designer | Illustrator

Bolt"I have a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery."

I once made that offhand remark to a warehouse co-worker during a hot, soul-crushing shift that prompted a discussion of the vast riches awaiting us at the local Speedway. For fear of being wrong, I never purchased so much as a scratch-off during subsequent stops for gas and wrinkly meat sticks.

Instead, I did the other thing.

Getting hit by lightning didn't transform me into a superhero as any other avid comic book reader would rightly expect. While I did walk away with some cool Deadpool-ish burns, turns out that thwarting evil-doers typically requires more than smelling vaguely of burnt ham.

The experience ultimately provided an incentive to pursue a more fulfilling career path, though. You know, something about life being too short.

And I've been happily doing graphic design, web dev, and illustration ever since.

The work on this site represents just a small sample of what I've done over the years. If you'd like to find out more, please shoot me an email or use the contact form below.

I hope we get a chance to work together someday. If we do happen to meet in person, though, keep in mind that I do radiate a powerful field of static electricity. As such, I ask that you please refrain from testing this by tossing various laundry items at me.


Best,


John Wohlt
