Today, I explored applying René Magritte's surrealistic style to web design. The idea was to create an interface that feels both familiar and strangely unexpected, much like Magritte's paintings. I used unexpected juxtapositions in the layout, placing elements in ways that challenge conventional structure while still maintaining usability. For instance, I experimented with floating navigation elements and imagery that appeared to blend into the background, creating an illusion of depth and mystery.

One interesting aspect was using negative space to evoke a sense of intrigue, similar to how Magritte used empty spaces and shadows. I also played with overlapping images and text to give the layout a dreamlike quality, where components seemed to question their own identity. It was a fun exercise in breaking away from traditional design norms while still keeping the user journey intuitive.

By the end of the day, I had a prototype that feels unconventional yet engaging. I think there's something quite powerful in making users pause and think, just as Magritte's art does. Tomorrow, I plan to refine the color palette to enhance the surreal atmosphere and continue pushing the boundaries of how web design can evoke emotion.
