With the limited resource of the poor quality print of the church, I was able to conceive of creating a logo/avatar based on the churches own steeple. Simply created a simple vector drawing in Inkscape by tracing a cut from the original image.
I am helping small church provide customize the template they are using for their first website. So they may have a visually unique website without incurring web hosting fees. Unfortunately they don't have a logo or any web quality images. The only they provide for the church is this scanned copy of the poorlly printed church bulletin. I decided to use graphic effects to disguise the terrible quality of the image. Inkscape to the rescue! I used Inkscape to create a mask from the original that I can use as a background image for the Welcome Page
Realized deadline for contest submissions is not until 11:59 tonight, instead of last night. So I cramked out a few more themes in between apointments today. I really like this one. Makes me hungry. Colors good for a restaurant. I was thinking about the Natural Hair Salon. Used my custom brushes I made in Inkscape. Thinking about my nicknames "Peaches" & "Palemino"
Last minute entry. Literally, designed in an hour and submitted 4 minutes before midnight deadline. Used a 70% opacity custom square brush for background. Scattered brush with various hues for final accent. Looks good with various pastel color overlays, but I only enter lilac. Something feminine and whimsical.
“The work achieved by Angie on our website is nothing short of spectacular. We ordered the design of a novel visual identity along with the corresponding CSS/HTML implementation for our website. Angie went beyond our expectations and suggested very relevant improvements to the overall design. Steady communication was key to the success of the enterprise: Angie has a talent for listening to the customer to deliver the most appropriate solution. Most importantly, the final product is visually stunning and follows our specifications. Finally, integration of the design to our platform was very easy, thanks to Angie's high coding standards. We are very much looking forward to further working with her on this project and on others.”
I am a student in the Computer Information Systems Department’s web development program at Strayer University. This blog was established to journal projects and communicate with other members of the web development community. My current goal is to establish a portfolio as I study advanced coding and graphic design. I am particular interested in applying current trends in social media to small business and organizations. I will be sharing my design process as I work on projects for school, clients and myself. The sidebar list of serves as a portfolio of featured design solutions. Take a look at my website and social networks as well.
