Web Design

I started my web design project by researching into what makes a good website.

I analyzed websites to see what conventions made them attractive.

Here's my analysis of a simple website. Although i found some bad points, i did like the

whole layout and feel of the site, it was simple, but for me a little too simple. 

The site lacked personality.

I then analyzed a site that was in a way the opposite of the other one.

It had a lot more personality and was nice, a little busy, but the feel of the

site was sophisticated. 

Once i had an idea of what conventions of websites i liked, i created some 'looks'

in photoshop that i wanted my site to look like, or there-abouts.

I want a simple layout with minimal colour, i don't want

to deter the viewer from my work by having too much going on.

I want my work to all be in colour images but maybe have the rest in 

black and white, with black and white graphics and then when clicked some colour.

I want my site and work to be centered because i found when researching

it makes the site nicer and easier to look at.

I decided to create my site in Muse, although i had training in Dreamweaver.

I chose Muse because it was better at creating simple sites.

I decided not to make my site live just yet because im still evolving as

a designer, although i am more than happy with the site and would

love to publish it.
