Project 5 — starting

Posted on Apr 6, 2013 in projects

The ASPCA already has a pretty good website. Amanda said we can do a non-profit with existing branding but I think it’ll be harder for me to come up with a redesign (or to make it different enough from the original). The same with SPCA of Central Florida. They have a beta version of a […]

4/2/13 — Week twelve

Posted on Apr 3, 2013 in class notes

We broke into two groups and critiqued the other group’s comps. Then we talked about project 5 and 6. Projecet 5 is a landing page and sub page for a non-profit/charity/cause. The landing page needs a large image with a strong message. I was thinking I’d do either America Cancer Society or ASPCA. Project 6 […]

Project 4 — everything…

Posted on Apr 1, 2013 in process, projects

I haven’t posted anything since we were assigned project 4 and it’s due tomorrow. So here’s everything in one fell swoop. (Except wireframes because I don’t have a scanner and the photos I took were horrendous. I’ll scan them at school tomorrow morning.) Comps are uploaded to Valencia web studio. sitemap logo color & type […]

3/19 & 3/26/13 — Week ten & eleven

I had to miss class last week and this week there is no class. Still working on the Craigslist redesign. From what I gather we have to take the user through buying and selling something; and the Orlando main page. A lot of my time has been taken up trying to figure out ActionScript. I […]

For my other class (Fundamentals of Interactive Design — basically a class about Flash) we’re creating a book website for our fourth project. I chose Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. comps the site so far I just started to test the flash site. My idea is that you have all these […]

I feel really good about this design. It feels like an actual website. Edit: My comps are ftp’d to the the Valencia Web Studio and here’s my process book (PDF).

3/12/13 — Week nine

Project 3 and the process book is due this Saturday. Our homework is an HTML/CSS refresher. The HTML Doctype defines the document type or what version of HTML the document is using. Three examples of HTML elements: <body> — everything that’s displayed goes within the body element <img> — is used to add images <a> […]

Project 3 — comps

Posted on Mar 7, 2013 in process, projects

Steadily moving along on this project. I’ve put together what the homepage will look like. There are still some tweaks to do. Overall I want the design to be pretty flat (no gradients or drop shadows). I might do a version that has those things to see if it compliments the layout. At the very […]

Project 3 — wireframe thumbnails

Posted on Mar 5, 2013 in process, projects

A couple quick ideas for the Renninger’s redesign. Each location page (Mt. Dora, Adamstown, etc.) is like a mini-site with it’s own navigation considerations. So there’s some problem solving required to figure out how to display that.

Project 3 — even more studies progress

logo color study I’ve decided on Sansita One for the typeface. Adding color to the logos helped me see which one worked best. It’s a retro shape, with retro color. The logos with the borders feel more vintage (older) than the retro feel I want for the site. color, type, logo, inspiration Here’s is the […]
