I've been sketching for the website for the past 2 days, and Im sure, at some point.. im going to need someone to take away my drawing equipment because I might just keep going and going.. SO much fun.
also finished, is the site map.. I'm sure my interactivity (aka interaction design, aka website design) instructor wouldn't approve of it, its slightly (or, highly..) indecipherable.. but! it makes sense in my head, I even color coded it. so its all good. As long as at the end of the day, the world wide web gets a website that works..
here are a few of the sketches ive been working on.They're just roughs and i plan to play around with them in photoshop/illustrator or with watercolors/gouache paints..they also might not even end up on the site... I have no idea how this website will look like at the end.. but In my head.. i see illustrations and drawings.. so shall it be!

I don't how your sketches would play out in terms of usability, but they're darn pretty. You can have a good website without going overboard with the intricacies. Focus on what matters because you want to be able to sell your art to everyone, not just those who can decipher how to use your website.
ReplyDeletefor sure Ibrahim :)
ReplyDeleteI like simple websites too. i'll definitely make it easy to use, thats what Interactivity Design is all about. but I would like a couple of illustrations (maybe a transparency) in the background where they dont interfere with the usability.
Thanks for the insight though :) always appreciated :)
