Website Part 2

 https://victoria9612.wixsite.com/my-site-2

For this assignment, I tried to really explore all that wix had to offer. I am not that familiar with WIX however I felt it was user friendly and similar to other website development sites. I think this was my favorite project of all in this class. I stuck with my original plan and chose to give my website some perspective with a portrait of myself and in bold next to that what is is I am offering to others or servicing. I tried to create a simple modern look. I only used serif fonts and played around with direction to give my website more of a unique look. I hope to add more projects this summer to the portfolio section! 

Website Design (part 1)

    I would like my website to be simple, concise and modern. I have a few ideas of what I’d like to accomplish with this website design, as I feel I could use this in the future for some work I am perusing currently. My first concept sketch is a personal website branding myself, my work and journey. I would like the home page to be straight forward so the viewer knows exactly how I could assist them or what I have to offer. So I was thinking starting with some natural “Hey” maybe this in my own handwriting so its more personable, directly underneath “I am a VISUAL DESIGNER” I’d like to keep my typography very modern so I am thinking I will only use a Sans serif fonts for this project. I will keep my navigation bar top right on the home page because I would like my website to feel effortless to browse, after viewing so many different portfolios and websites others have created I find when the menu bar is hard to find I quickly lose interest trying to find it and move on. My goal is to capture my audiences attention quickly so I will need to make sure my website is very user friendly. My portfolio page I would like to only include the projects or creations I have done that I will be offering to clients. I don’t want to upload too many pieces to overwhelm or confuse the client/ customer. 

    My other direction with this website design as illustrated below in “concept sketch #2” is to create more of a service based website design offering digital designs and marketing to clients. I am trying to still find the right verbiage for the home page because I want something witty and catchy but also do not want to confuse viewers or lose their interest if I am misunderstood here. This website would have the verbiage in the center, I will play around with different font sizes for the words I want to really stick out like “EMBRACE” and “DIGITAL” and keeping a sans serif, easy to read and modern I feel will resemble my branding. Underneath I would like a button to display either “let’s talk” or “let’s get started”. 

Preliminary sketch of fantasy Avatar

FANTASY AVATAR (PART 1)

    I am choosing to make an Avatar. I am a little concerned that the techniques and skills needed to complete this project will be very challenging and tedious but I think I will learn a lot from trying to do so.  I was online looking for some portrait's to use to complete this and was having a hard time finding a subject that will be easiest for me to work with. I think I am going to take a portrait of myself and make myself into an Avatar.        

    I will really be focusing on getting a good photo with the right amount of lighting, hair pulled back and close enough so I can focus on details involved for this project.
