Anywho, I decided to do two word its for the word Short for the month of February!
As you know, and if you do not here you go, February is Black History month! Obama kind of took that to a new level, but I wanted to do something for BHM - I decided to showcase young talent who lived very short lives!
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!
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!
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.
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)
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!
