Polypus- Medieval Legend of giant signal crayfish that would pluck sailors right off their boats and drag them to their holes where they skin them alive. They could change their skin color to camouflage and communicate. #signalcrayfish #herebemonsters #polypus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ouSz0h_5N/?igshid=1ianje454m4f1

Release the Portfolio!

The portfolio is now live: kez.ie

My aim was to create a portfolio that conveyed my brand and style through the design itself. The home page is the prime example of this: condensing everything from my brand guidelines, my love of fun designs, and even bits of my CV and hinting at my travelling into an interactive treasure map.

Each section maps to a location on the map and iconography helps maintain orientation while immersing the user in the world of the portfolio through a purely illustrated design. Ideally this would be augmented by animated page transitions so the move from the map to a location would be smooth for a user but this is still a work in progress.

To ensure work is within easy reach and not buried deep in the site, my most recent three projects are highlighted on the map (and easy to update thanks to a modular SVG symbol system). The case study section is something I plan to expand on and augment with a side project page which will link from the home page map and also the dedicated case study section.

In the end, it was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. For design, I learned a lot about how to execute what might be a slightly crazy concept without losing a focus on the user or usability. A user friendly site doesn’t have to be a template. It was also great practice in showing rather than telling and crafting an interactive experience to create a mood and encourage exploratory behaviour. This was also important when it came to responsive design: it doesn’t have to be the exact same design but rather the same personality and type of experience and it was interesting figuring out how to do just that from both the design and coding perspectives.

On the technical side, a lot more research went into SVGs and how to better set up a maintainable and scalable system with them as well as fixing cross browser issues.

How I got here: research and process

The result: Here Be Monsters

Here Be Monsters | Griffin Hefeweizen 4% I've had one of their beers on cask up till now, never seen it in bottle till today, and in a garden centre of all places. Shelves and shelves full of brown Yorkshire water, and three gems in the middle of them all from these guys. This is excellent, slightly tart, really refreshing, so much banana.
