BRIEF TWO - SCREEN

WEEK ONE:

This week very much consisted off looking at existing websites, from design agencies to car companies. I discovered a very common theme within the graphic design field of websites, which was that the design agencies tended to have a very corporate associated website theme whereas the individual designers had produced more creative and personal websites to not only project their branding and identity but to ultimately sell themselves as designers.

Below i have created a list of the websites in which i found very influential for a number of different reasons. The ones that generally captured my attention were ones in which allowed the user to feel engaged with the site, enabling interaction and control over the functions.

Within this week i also had some initial thoughts about the theme of my website, also what i wanted my website to say about myself, both personally and professionally.
So i set myself some main aims to aid my thinking and ideas:

- Reflect my personal identity and personality, also the style of my practice.
- Be creative, interactive and engaging.
- Clear and easy to use – simple navigation.
- I want it to sell myself as a graphic designer. Use it for potential employment.
- Audience – people within the industry to view my work, for interest or employment purposes.
- Strong narrative that keeps the user fully engaged in the website. Giving them control over several aspects to keep them involved and interested.
