indian oven


so my new side project is redesigning the Indian ovens menu's.

this is rough hence the non matching type colors.

anyway, feed back on the fonts used, size and overall look.

I wanted to keep it simple while showing a sense of class... (I have now idea if class is the right word, but you know what I mean)

ta da!

http://www.fall09-1.graphicinterfacedesign.com/kmcewan/flash/Unwind_final.html

as promised, here's the link to my website...

don't laugh too hard.

the about page!



k, were almost there, promise.

here's the about page, classy simple and yet not to plain, not sure how it happened, just kinda did.

I was a little worried about the logo on the bottom, but I think it worked a lot better than I was thinking.

a little rant.


so I thought a image of what flash looks like (I mean what the headache looks like) would be appropriate, so you can fully understand web design.

I hate how you have an idea that you have to make user friendly and keep it beautiful, then you have to take it in to a content editor and disect the thing to death, getting appropriate buttons, and tables, and by the time you've adoqutely troubleshooted the file, you cross your fingers and hope that just maybe the design still works together as a composition, although your totally non-objective due to the fact you've been staring at it for the past 15 hours... (there's a lot of hoping involed).

Anyway, here's a good look at action script, it makes more sense to me that html thank goodness, but there's a lot I still have to learn. I'm hoping web design is one of those things that you get good at the more you do it, right now it feels like a really narrow road, with really really deep ditches.

welcome to unwind!


Welcome to unwind!

Sometimes the best idea is to forget your idea.
I couldn't get my atlas logo to look right so voila!

a better name for a restaurant, and a simpler solution that actually matches my design, and gives me full creative license to keep moving forward.

lost an Atlus?




problem was I couldn't find the Atlus...


So I figured that I can't show you the nearly finished product and get you to understand just how far I've come.

this was my first lame idea, it had potential, but it lacked my personal knowledge of the subject...

so seeing as how I still had time I changed my idea, but I did mock up all the pages, I'll include the rest in my next blog.

ep!


k, so I've been working hard and I think I've made decent progress. YAY, right? anyway heres the the site with the newest logo, I'm undecided on the logo being on the bottom, but at this point I really can't think of what else to do with it, um...
but yeah, tell me what you think, that would be awesome.

thanks-

help


so I missed a few blogs, (I'll post my final html website in a few days). but I was working on this flash website and really need some feed back, because I've been staring at it to long.

please note that the logo in the bottom corner will change... and look more like the rest the sites feel. but moroever does it have enough weight in the bottom corner or should I put it up on the left.

let me know. so I can get crackin on the web building part.

thanks

(also the text needs modifying)

so okay...


http://www.fall09-1.graphicinterfacedesign.com/kmcewan/anim/clueless_animation-4.html

so I sorta wanna forget about this project, it's not that bad, but I got really sick of working on it.

it's amazing how many hours you can spend and still go crazy, because the changes you thought you finally got rid of, well they're back, in a slightly more creative painfully tedious way.

Basically this project is the first project we did in flash, and the assignment was to take a 30 second clip from a movie and turn it into a typographic poster, as well as a 30 second animation. I liked the assignment because it wasn't a huge jump into a project and if the design stunk you weren't stuck with it for half the semester.

My LAST page!


heck yes, I did it. who knows how many hours later but I'm good with the content at least, now to refine things, make sure every things linked, and maybe pretty it up.

My First Page!


This ones about the History of Sand Castles... yes there's a history involved. and you can read about it soon.

Look What I Made!


my first efforts in .html doesn't look completely hideous! the basic set up of a few div's and I'm good to go! I owe a lot to Sarah though, I don't think I could of figured out the first step without her, but I think I'm ready to go now!

my trying sandcastle days


Here's what I have so far for this little website I'm working on for my graphic interface class. I'm doing my website about sand castles, and at this point I wanna drive to the beach and build one and for get about my html, and CSS troubles, and sun bathe.

Alas I cannot, it's still a work in progress but any comments you have would be awesome.

tomorrow, I will try and actually add the picture, for some reason it's not letting me upload anything. alas, more stresses.

Kelli's hesitation in blogging.

Hi, I'm Kelli.

I'm a graphic designer at Utah State, and have been given the rad assignment of keeping a blog. Have I ever blogged before, no. Am I excited to blog... not really. But all the same this site will be used to keep my friends and acquaintances updated with my designing progress.

It will go wonderfully better if you all could give me some amazing constructive criticism, on a regular basis.

Thanks!
