Portfolioness

This is what I have done of my portfolio so far, when in action the bumble bee flies across the screen and all the clouds are buttons... :)

Simon Lewty

I really like this guy... His work is not dissimilar to my pictures I drew on the squiggly lines worksheet... His stuff is really quite strange and I love the way he mixes text and images... I used to do that all the time at college but got told off for it... I think I shall bring that baby back!

This one reminds me of the animation from the children's show, 'Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids.'

The Site So Far...

Ergh... I am so bad at coding, probablys because I've been off so much, I really am sick of being sick though... Badness! But anyways, I've done a design in photoshop of what I'd like the web site to look like, and what I have actually done so far... :/

What I'd like the site to look like... But with a different background that I have made myself not just a random picture...

And this is what it looks like so far... Hmm... There's room for improvement to put it nicely... I really want to make it so the blue background stays in one place and the white strip just scrolls down, but, what a surprise, I have no idea how to do that...

My Portfolio Design...

I think if I could design my portfolio anyway I could, I'd pretty much just have a big Flash file... I really like little carttony style websites that move, like in mine I would have bees and butterflies buzzing around and the cloud buttons moving slowly in the wind... :)

This is a quick wireframe for my portfolio... Everything in a box... :)

What do you see, you people gazing at me?

I really liked doing this little exercise thing... But when I had finished I realized that mostly I drew fish and women's body parts... Deary me...

First Wireframe...

These are my first wireframes... I did them quite a while ago, but I have no scanner so I had to photograph them...

Design History...

Debbie Millman...
Designer, artist, painter, writer, author...

Pictures from her book, 'Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Like and Design.'

I really like the style of all these... They're pretty weird but I like that they just look like she has been scribbling on a black board or picking at the paint on her walls... I chose this artist over all the others because, this is probably really bad to say, but it was the only one that actually stood out to me... I also think I like her work because it's pretty much just random illustrations which is what I seem to do, even if I want to draw a whole picture, I just go off in my head and start drawing bits of everything...




















These repetitive ones remind me of doing lines at school... I really like that everyone will see a different meaning to them all... Kind of like a song with weird lyrics that everyone thinks are about them...




































This could be taken in a manner of ways... And considering she has pictures like the next one down...




















This is titled 'Trouble'... Strange... I really like it though... It's hilarious... It's the type of thing people (including me ;)...) used to draw on other people text books at school when they wern't looking... So good...





















I hope this is a real letter that someone has wrote...
















I like this quite alot... I can't say I think this is 'art' though, becasuse I used to do pull the wallpaper off the walls all the time in my room when I was little and I got shouted at not called an artist...





















I think this one is a valentine's day card... It reminds me of what I did for my Art GCSE mock... It's really cute and quirky though... I like making cards for people... And I love how it looks like it's been done in auqa crayons, I love them...
