new design

using the scans i made a mock up website in phoyoshop of how i want my finished website to look like.

back to my origional theeme

although i like my 5 new website designs i now feel like i have exhausted them. although it is a contempoary style i feel like it has kind of lost the meaning i want to communicate to the sudeince and it really narrows down my target audience.

so with that in mind i am going to go back to my origonal idea of a collage, and really try and use and exploit the qualities like the texture and the rips of the paper.

here are some scans of the papers i wish to use in my designs.

5 designs

5 different website designs.





background of my website

Edited photos

i then cleaned up and edited some of the photos to use in my website designs.



light images

after looking at the adverts and the contemporary style of using lights and reduced shutter speeds i decided to have a go at creating some images like this myself. i used a variety of lights, such as torches, mobile phones and sparklers and lighters to see the different qualities the different light brought to the images.




above are the ones i took outside with a torch. i varied the mark making and the speed in wich i moved the light to experiment with different effects. i think thees are quite successful however it was hard to find a dark space without street lights.



i then tried doing this inside with the torch which was as bad as the torch lit up the Small confined space. in conclusion i like the ghostly effect the torch gives but i am not sure if editing out the illuminated background in all thees photos may mean the marks loose their nice qualities.

i then tried out using my phone light to create the same effects.




instead of creating a definite beam of light phone camera created more of an illuminated glow to the objects and images.

and here are my experimanets with sparklers and lighters.



i like the organic qualities in thees photographs and the sparklers give the images and electric energy.

i am quite pleased with the results of thees experiments and think that i could use the images now to make some designs for my website.
