Sweet Packaging

i chose to use fried eggs and foam shrimps for my prints. i used lino cut, etching and monotrace. i made quite a lot so this is just a few i liked most.







i also made some coloured versions







object prints

Web Design

images of my finished website

home page


gallery page



about page



contact page


i found it really hard to make the website in flash because i'm a bit rubbish at computers and have never done anything like this before. in the end i'm really happy with my website, everything works (hopefully) and i think my design shows off my style and it is easy to navigate and see things. i might not have learnt as much as i could from this experience as most of it went way over my head, technical stuff doesn't agree with me!  but i can say at least i'm an expert at making buttons :) 

web design research

examples of bad web design:

www.fabricland.co.uk
most hideous colours ever




www.irishwrecksonline.net
ultimately boring



www.lingscars.com
quite possibly the worst website ever made, looking at it gives you a headache as nearly everything flashes or moves! the soundtrack doesnt help.





examples of good web design:


www.silkewerzinger.de
really cool design, quirky but still simple





www.simonelia.com
cute and very simple, makes it easy to navigate and see everything





www.illustrationweb.com
i love using this website to do research and find illustrators, its really easy to view porfolios and finding what your looking for is made easy with the styles categories
