DAN: Website Design

Here's the first website design I've made for Dan.

Dan asked me if I could produce him a website for him to front all his work.
I feel it represents his personality and the yellow colour is perfect for him and his work.
The dark black lines that border the white box and underline the text represent the designs of an architect and the structures of buildings.

LUCY: Website Design 2

Here's the second design for Lucy's website.
It is a lot more modern and cleaner. I wanted to create two that are quite opposite to show her the variety of sites available to her.
This design offers a more sleek and professional feel, however it may not fully represent her as a musician.

Hopefully we'll be able to discuss her requirements further once we've met up.

LUCY: Website Design

Here's the first website design for Lucy's website.

The website will either be created in flash or dreamweaver depending on the requirements.

The background of the website gives the whole site the industrial and rusty feel I was aiming for and the sellotaped and pinned notes fulfil the requirement set by the client and are inkeeping with the site design.

Using two fonts enables the industrial features to stand out which makes Lucy's name striking and bold, contrasting with the website content which will be easier to read where smaller text is required.

PRIDE: Promotion Ideas

This is a poster design to promote the NTU Pride society.

I feel that the poster gives the society a brand new image that's not only eye-catching but also provides a new view on the LGBT way of life.

The use of colours isn't typical of how the original pride flag is generally used, but uses the idea of multiple colours to create brand awareness of the pride flag.

The explosion of colour connotates the vibrant attitude and diverse way of living which is reflected through the members of the society.

WEBSITE: Page design

This is the final design for my new website page.

It has been made in flash and will feature a sample of the work I've produced over the last few years.

This website will also include some information of the current projects I am working on and my qualifications gained so far.

Hopefully the website will profile me and what I do when it comes to designing and producing Multimedia content.

PRIDE: Design Ideas

Here are some design ideas for a logo and website banner.

These two images are to just a test to rebrand the website and the image that NTU Pride has. I wanted the soceity to be taken more seriously and I think these images create a fun and lively appraoch but still keeping the image of the society fun and interesting.

A website design layout will be online soon.

LUCY: Moodboard

Here's the first moodboard design for Lucy's website.

She said she wanted an industrial feel to it, and when I said the word "rusty" she loved the idea.

Here's the first moodboard I've created to help design and generate web design ideas.

Points to ponder over would be that she told me she liked stitching and scelotape ideas with a lot of things stuck all over the place with it looking very busy. I'll be including these elements as much as possible. Another thing she said she wanted was attitude. She's coming out as a new artist but doesn't want to be branded as a typical "folk" artist as she's not just about that genre of music and her website MUST reflect this.

3 Massive Projects for the summer!

Hey hey!

You thought I would leave 1st year without doing anything over the summer didn't you?
Well your all wrong! haha!

I've decided to channel my spare time (5 months off!) into doing something productive!

Firstly, I've been approached by one of my best friends who's currently trying to kickstart her music career and she's asked me to design a website for her.

Secondly, I am currently the publicity officer for Nottingham Trent's Society, NTU Pride. Therefore, they've asked if I can redesign their current website into something a lot more professional and user friendly.

Thirdly, I am designing my own website to front www.kidinacandystore.co.uk as the current website is just a place to hold my Identities project from year 1.

I have various design and ideas in the pipe line! So keep checking back to see what becomes of my time off...
