A concept redesign of kbc.co.ke for the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, built in the "Africaptions" style — a documentary, editorial aesthetic with full-bleed imagery, a moody dark canvas, warm "paper" typography and video-forward storytelling.
It is a static, dependency-free multi-page site. Real headlines, images and article links come from KBC's live site; the video hub is populated with real KBC Channel 1 News YouTube videos.
