Our Great Class

This week I just wanted to post screenshots of our GDS220 Project 2 landing pages. These were designed for a real client, Viktoria Ford, who is a local artist. After seeing our submissions, she chose one design to use, and Mark Melvin was the designer. Take a look at the variety of designs that we came up with for the same sight. Pretty Awesome!

#1 is by Katie Balch

#2 is by Bissie Buscombe

#3 is by Jill Fleming

#4 is by Brett Geist

#5 is by Mark Melvin - It was chosen by Viktoria

#6 is by Lisa Williamson (me)

I don't have one for Saul Sanchez showing only because I wasn't able to access it.

I hope you enjoy our designs. I know that we all put a great deal of time and effort into them and it was a huge learning experience, too.

Full Windsor

I found this site completely by accident. I was looking up Alex Fowkes, whom I found in Communication Arts (Nov/Dec 2013) in the "Fresh" section, and saw his mudguards for bicycles. This led me to the company he designed them for - Full Windsor. This site is so "over-the-top"! It's logo is an ape wearing a tie and a watch. The Ape hand, pictured at left, is actually your mouse. Wild I know!!!

As you scroll the mouse the ape's hand will move, grab, etc. It'll grunt if you take too much time, too. It's pretty crazy and the sounds could drive you a little bananas (haha - pun intended) but, I just felt the urge to share.

In the third picture you'll see what I was looking at that took me to their website.
The design on their mudguards and some of their t-shirts was done by Alex Fowkes.
He is a graphic designer, typographer, illustrator, etc.
