Self-initiated study
SOLAR
A soda that can’t sit still.
A blood-orange soda, and proof that premium doesn’t have to mean quiet. Nothing on this page stays where you left it.

The brief
Drinks are bought on impulse, in about a second, by someone who is thirsty and slightly bored. I wanted a site with the energy of opening a cold can: immediate, bright and a little bit rude.
The idea
So the type is enormous and nothing sits still. Letters bounce in on springs, bands of copy cross the page in opposite directions, and bubbles rise behind everything.
The flavour switcher is the heart of it. Change flavour and the can drops in, the name springs up behind it, and the whole screen shifts to a new colour.
What makes it work
- 01
Type on springs
Every headline is physical. Letters overshoot and settle, as if they’d been thrown.
- 02
One can, three flavours
The screen, the can and the name all change together, in less than a second.
- 03
A cart with a pulse
Add a pack and the count jumps. A small detail that makes buying feel good.
- 04
Crossing bands
Two lines of copy slide against each other, tied directly to your scroll.
