o11 - Cherry Bomb v.1

So here are my templates, of what Cherry Bomb may end up looking like.
I think I want to get more into the design, but this is just preliminary.

Guitar Here rocks - random sorry!

The first image is the home page, I am going to do a splash page!



This next image is secondary, for programmers



Third image is tertiary page of programmers with terms and links that bring up different information

Ah, the wonderful world of Tutorials!
I received some cool how-to do this quick and easy tips from D.
I chose to do number 71, which was a tutorial about making WOOD! lol

Found this to be a lot easier than I thought.
I had to pull on some Photoshop filters unbeknownst to me, only because I try to stay out of Photoshop, unless
I have to be there!

Number 71 :D by j. gily looks like this:

not too bad!

I looked for more tutorials, I had been doing them before #71!
But I really like this whole texture thing, so I found a few that were cool.
Here is one that I will probably use something similar on CherryBomb!

Since I am so damn indecisive, I finally found a wireframe to my liking!

Yabba dabba do!

It was inspired by this.

I really like one page layouts. I also figured because there is SO MUCH information that is going to be on this site, a user should not be weighed down by ever-changing design!

du du du du du du dunnnnnhh! :)

As I always say attitude is everything!
And as you know I am working on a website, I initially wanted to call it Rotten Apples - seriously, don't ask!
But I have changed my mind.

I realized I am always pushing others to step outside of their box.
I kind of also realized that my work is sometimes, really serious, and with the serious content that goes along with web and design, and putting the two together, I am going to do something a bit.. uh fun and less serious!

Take a lookey - I only decided to go with two mood boards, at first I had a few, but I spent so much time on particular ones, I neglected the others, which was obvious.

Enjoy!

Attitude is EVERYTHING!
I have been looking around the web, trying to basically find other things geared
towards my audience (web designers, graphic designers, and anyone who loves art.web. and design)

I decided to look for sites that portray what I want my site to portray:
  • Clean
  • Funky/Eclectic/Organic (They way Amy Winehouse music sounds ie before the drugs got bad)
  • Direct Information
Clean -

Clear & Direct Information -

I just likey this one, a lot


Each of these sites pull on all three words. They are to me visually appetizing!

oo4.5 -

I decided to dig a big deeper into my wireframes.
They are listed below.

Basically I went a bit further into navigation and content!

Pictured below, as stated before in the previous blog are my wire frames for Rotten Apples -

A wire frame is basically a template of how I am going to lay out my information.
It has nothing really to do with design, but is sort of a blueprint of where I will possibly place things like
navigation, content, and logos!

Enjoy -
