Website!

After a lot of nightmares about this website i am finally getting there. The logic finally came and a website was created! So happy!

The brief was to research the life of Marcel Breuer and create a film in homage to him. It was largely one idea that inspired him to make his most famous pieces of work. It was Breuer riding his bike to work in Germany, that gave him the idea that bending tubular metal made stylish yet functional furniture that was strong and as hard wearing as his own bicycle. As I was paying homage to him, I wanted to include as much of his personal style as possible, including any specific materials and artistic influences.
In my animation, the viewer follows the bicycle on its journey through town to the Bauhaus. It passes busy shopping streets, various building and environments. Throughout this journey the bike is influenced by its surroundings, and when it reaches its destination it is inspired in the form of three coloured lines.

Animation

My new life long friends

still do not have a solution for this project... oh dear.

A project titled The Body. I really find the shapes of the skeleton interesting. This is my starting point. Also my visit to the hatton gallery has gave my the inspiration to look at different types of skeleton.

Web Design pages

Wire frames for my own website

Each page will be a white rectangle mounted on a textured background. Everything the viewer will look at will be inside this box. The colour scheme will will compliment the bird drawings using a black, white and greys.

Home page
One large illustration with the bird theme. Possibly animation of birds walking across the screen. The Navigation bar will stay at the bottom of the screen in each page so the viewer can easily explore the website.

Illustration, Photography, Corporate Branding portfolio pages
These will all be the same layout to keep a consistency throughout the website. Each small square will be a different project and when clicked on further images will appear in the larger square to its right. Right and left arrow are to navigate all of those images in that project. Information will support the project. For example explaining brief.

Bio (biography)
A page just to explain a bit about my background and my influences.

Contact
Large image will display one of my own illustrations, a bird holding a note with my contact details displayed.

Journal
Links to my lovely blog! This showing my influences, things i like at that particular time and my views on other peoples' work.
