WWW.ALEXBAILEY.MOONFRUIT.COM

For the next brief of the focus week module we were asked to create a website to showcase our work as a sort of online portfolia available to the world.. The website creater I used is moonfruit.com as the university has account with them and it is reasonably easy to set up and get going with.

The site has a number of of default templates that can be used to create the site. After flicking through a couple i decided that they weren't for me, they just looked too generic and had no personality. So, I decided on the simplest template I could find and decided to create my own using that a starting point (we are designers after all!)

As I am becoming quite fluent with photoshop I decided to use this to create the images for the site. This ended up being a sample of designs that I have created throughout the year. The first page I created was for the home page of the site this can be seen below.



When I started creating the site I was sitting at a desk with sketchbooks, books, pens, pencils and rulers everywhere and this has how its been for the past year! So I wanted to represent this in my website.


After messing around with this image I decided to change it slightly to the one below. I felt this was more minimalist and worked well with a white background and the cool greys that I have used elsewhere in the site.

FINAL FRONT PAGE.

MASTER PAGE. (appears as a template for all pages)

CONTACT DETAILS PAGE.

I feel that I have made a good start and now have a place for employers to view my work and be able to get in contact with me. Over the next few months I will buy my own domain name and set up a flash website.
