Storyboard for my 'Designer Homage' animation - Erno Goldfinger.

homepage inspiration.

I thought I'd add some links to some webpages I found inspirational when designing my homepage.

i absolutely LOVE this website.

I wish i had the skills to make mine just like this!

One of my initial ideas was a 'turning' book idea but I think in the six week time we had given it was abit of an adventurous idea! I love the textures & the old style of the book.

This website was my main inspiration when designing my homepage.

I love how the photograph takes up the whole screen with the text on top of it. I decided to try this with mine & I really liked the outcome (see final homepage idea)

I love the page texture on this webpage. The design is lovely too.

Finally, I really like this webpage & the contemporary feel it had to it. However, even though I like it I don't feel its very 'me', thought I'd put it up anyway!

Each word is highlighted in blue when you scroll over it.

royal victoria infirmary.

These are some drawings I did when we visited the RVI. I thought the experience was brilliant but quite surreal seeing all the preserved body parts in jars. I couldn't believe there was a preserved cyclops baby! I didn't know that was actually possible...

fireworks.

After talking to Thomas I'm a lot more confident about my website! =]

I really like the design and I think its going to work really well, hopefully!

If I can master Fireworks myself!

Thomas has shown me how to 'slice' my homepage and begin to link each section of the homepage 'portfolio', 'about', 'contact' & 'blog'. He's shown me how to use to different frames in order to get certain words to change colour when highlighted. Surprisingly I needn't have designed loads of separate wireframes because my background page design is pretty much the same on every page, I didn't know you could actually edit colours and text on Fireworks so that makes the process a whole lot easier!

Hopefully by next week I'll have sliced my homepage & have got it all linked!

Exciting stuff.

webpage designs.

This design is what I would like my page to look like when my website is finished. However, I would like the small images to have rounded edges. The label on top of the masking tape would change with each collection.

cherrypickers.

Last year me & my brother & sisters were lucky enough to get our pictures taken by a brilliant photographer called Andy Farrington. He is now one of my favourite photographers! His photographs look really unique and are really inspirational! Lovely guy aswell!
