M6 Final Project-Website


Well, it has been a long journey and this blog signals the culmination of the term. For this project I chose creating a website. The decision was made to use Wix.com as the source for building an online portfolio that showcases the art that I have had the pleasure of creating over the past year.

A grid-style approach was used. this helps create a consistent and easy to follow design hierarchy. Futura is the primary font so as not to litter the pages with several fonts that could distract from the viewing experience. It was important for me to keep the design simple, using plenty of white space to let the design flow, which can be challenging when there are several options to fill pages to maximize space and visibility. There are subtle color changes to the names of projects to add a bit of flavor while letting each piece speak for itself. Links to pop-ups are present on some of the pieces to add to the engagement along with a lightbox on the home page welcoming visitors to the website.

Thank you for taking the time to view my website.

Below is the link to my website.

M2 CP HUDSON VALLEY INN LOGOS

Image
For this project, The task was to design logos for a new and unique boutique hotel named the Hudson Valley Inn and its upscale restaurant and bar. The main attraction of the hotel is the scenic escape it provides city dwellers , especially during the fall foliage season. With this in mind, I wanted to give it a modern look mixed with nostalgia. The type chosen for all three logos is Mostra Nuova from Adobe Fonts. I imported the bold version for the hotel and the regular for the restaurant and bar. This gives an Art Deco impression. For the hotel logo I transformed the "S" in Hudson into a vector object, molding it into a symbol of the Hudson River winding down the Valley where it ends in the negative space of the "V" of valley. By creating a black background, Hudson could be white, further enhancing the flow from the S into the V. It also lends itself to an Art Deco look. In addition, I created a logo which has two components that can be used together or separately....
