I'm happy to say that I'm finally updating my behance portfolio with more web design work. Hopefully I could bring new one with the things I'm currently trying to learn.

Web Portfolio - Designers Research

I tried looking at other book cover graphic designers like Chipp Kidd and some multidisciplinary agencies like Jessica welsh. I really enjoy the side bar menu that situated on the left hand side of the website on Chip Kidd’s website. I like how his work is placed and how he only has relevant pieces displayed to visually portray his disciplinary area of work. I also looked at artists such as George Lios who is known for doing logos because I also have an interest in branding. Looking at different artists has made me seen how most have logos that are mainly type which is an approach I would like to take with my logo because it will be more open to anything. The only one that had a symbol logo was Jessica Welsh’s graphic agency that looks cursive and connects her fist letter of the name to the first letter of her last name. I think it’s really important to create a logo that’s based on the name you want people to know you by which is what I learned from doing this research. In my case, I want to only be known as Amalia because my surname ‘Girnet’ is quite had to remember and mispronounced by most. Although I would like to try and incorporate it.

using my Barclays page as I template I redid my page for my type face project. I decided to include this project as my outcomes were very motion based and I wanted to show off that side of my work aswell. Unfortunately I wasn't as organized and prepared to create a whole process to be shown last term so this page is much shorter and I have a l lot less to say about this project. I think this is a good thing to remember going forward with any project as Im going to want to show a process on my website and its important to keep track of all the elements to do so.

A walk-through of my web portfolio. I’m glad I added the 3D motion elements to bring more colour to the site but isn’t over-powering my text. My cursor is also a green star which adds a tiny pop of colour to the pages that don’t have the star background. It’s also the same with my favicon.

Logo development -HO

In the pin-up crit, the feedback I was given for this logo was quite negative. However, I have decided to develop this logo further because I think it is more suitable for my website than the typeface based logo.

To make the logo look more personal and softer, I have decided to make the corners where the h meets the o softer. I will also make the line width thicker to give it a more friendly feeling.

Although I like how the soft edges on the outside contrasted with the sharp middle shapes, I thought this made it difficult to interpret as a h and an o. Using the curved corners for all the lines made the overall logo look softer and more fluid.

However, when I placed it onto my website I found that the corners were not noticeable and made the logo look harsh. I have decided to experiment more with using different line widths for the h to make the logo look less corporate and impersonal.

I liked how using shapes instead of lines varied the line width whilst still making the h and the o visible. However, I will continue experimenting with the sizes of the semi-circles because the lines of the h are too thin. I need to keep in mind that my logo must be readable at various sizes meaning the lines of the H can not be too thin.

I like this logo because it looks quirky and fun. I also like how the sharp corners draw the audiences attention to the h in the middle. However, I will need to try this on my website as it may be unreadable when it is sized down.

I think this version of the logo works well on my website because it is readable on both web and mobile formats. I could continue to develop this version by looking at how I could incorporate colour to make it show my personality more.

Although I like the previous version of my logo I decided to experiment with using curved corners and a thicker line width. I liked how this makes the logo look friendly and abstract. However, it does not resemble the original H and o when it is a large size.

When I placed this version of the logo on my website I found that it was easier to read at a smaller size. This variant may be more suitable form a social media logo as these are viewed on a mobile. However, it is not effective on a website which make sit unsuitable for my web portfolio.

To help direct how I would like to further develop my logo I have decided to look at other Web portfolios, who use a simplistic logo design to see how their logo interacts with other elements of their website.

Web Portfolio briefing notes

We were talked through the web portfolio brief, and how to approach the creation of a website that expresses your own visual identity. The brief was broken up into different categories, and so I thought it would be useful to make notes on each to make sure I hit every area of importance. This way I can easily refer back to my notes as a check list for web content. I also included what I should look at in my research.

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

Web Portfolio Finalised

Conclusion

I really enjoyed making my website and I think it displays very basic knowledge of web design and development through Wordpress, although I have managed to visually present it to match the field of practice I intend to going into. I do wish to go more towards multi disciplionary graphic design because I think right now I am exploring multiple areas that I am interested in and I do want to have a more broad range of work that will enable me to a wider customer base. I have inspired my website mostly from my favourite graphic designer of all time Chip Kidd because I think his website was more appealing to me and to the target audience I want to reach, but also because it visually represent my future aspirations. Overall, I think this was very successful and useful having the ability to own a portfolio website that can be presented to clients and graphic design companies when applying for jobs. I think in the future I will be open to experimenting with code to add certain elements and animation effects that could add some uniqueness to my portfolio so that it makes it more exciting and interesting.

March 15th - Web portfolio

My first attempt at making a homepage was to make a main slider showcasing the best images at a larger scale but a lot of plugins don't integrate with laytheme making this difficult. Being unsure with this I'm just going to make something simple for the moment.

I have now blasted your retinas with an ungodly amount of light, you're welcome. Anyways, this is the latest iteration of my portfolio... still haven't gotten around to actually coding it though. I'm thinking I should probably code my website in WordPress to be safe(r). Knowing me I'd probably unintentionally attract at least one person that will attempt an SQL injection or something. Speaking of which, I got sidetracked and now I'm learning about basic cybersecurity over at TryHackMe.
