Splashpage

For my own personal website i have first created a slash page, that then leads onto a home page. I would like to have this splash page animated, using flash i would like the separate pieces of imagery to role onto the main page.

Buisness cards set up for Screenprint

I have now created an identity for myself by using my paisley logo. I now want to create my own personal business card, i feel screen print production of these cards would be the most appropriate method. Using screen print means i can create a lot of variations of my business cards, using different paper stock and different colour. This will make each business card unique when handed out.


I think the front design is quite quirky and elaborate, so for the back of the business i wanted to keep it quite subtle. Also the screen print look and paper stock will enhance the type.

Letterhead

This is my final letterhead design, I feel that design of the letterhead is appropriate as it takes

influence from my business card. I feel keeping it black, using screen printing to print onto different stocks of paper.

This border for my letterhead comes from the influence of my logo, I want all my personal stationary to have a continuity throughout. 

Logo Design

I have turned my logo design vertical, as the shape of the paisley gives a subtle 'P' which represents my second name Patel.

Identity and website

I feel that this logo is very appropriate as an identity for myself, as it en captures my name and ethnicity within the paisley style.


Here I have added more detail to the design. This could give it more depth and give the more Indian style to elaborate on my ethnicity.


I have been looking at indian paisley pattern to help create my identity (logo). This i feel is an approriate approach as i want to start creating a illustration practice around indian pattern making. Having a logo that shows this will help me create a clearer identity for my design practice.


From looking at paisley design, i now want to create my website and other pieces of stationary based around this design method. Using outline with inspiration from the style of paisley.

Layouts For Website

This template idea works well as the Image is taking up the majority of page, with the navigation buttons at the bottom. I feel that the small icons rolling along the bottom would work well, an easy way to navigate from image to image.


This template could work really well as everything within the site operates from a small space. Keeping everything together would keep the design quite tight and minimal, using negative space.


Using two templates, one for type and one for imagery. This is a good way to differentiate the image based work to the more type based work. Also using a cursor to scroll up and down helps to keep the site easy to navigate around.


I feel this layout could work well, as the en thesis is on the image which takes up majority of the space on the page.
I feel that this approach would be the best way to showcase the work, keeping a strong idea of imagery throughout the site.
