Brighton Web Design: Moodboards

Roweena — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:30:17 +0000

Here are my moodboards for projects I’m currently working on for a couple of agencies. Moodboards are a great way to start pulling together ideas for theme, colour, layout and imagery and can be used a discussion point with clients or as a reference for myself and others working on the project.

I usually put the moodboards through Kuler to generate a colour palette that may (or may not) be used in the final design.

Brighton iPhone friendly website design

Roweena — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:47:13 +0000

I’ve starting designing iPhone friendly website versions for clients who ask for them, the one pictured above is for a recently launched website Brighton Acupuncture and Massage.

Simple designs can be put together fairly quickly and provide a clean easy interface for people browsing your website on their iPhone.

Out with the old: website revamp with CSS3

Roweena — Tue, 18 May 2010 19:32:47 +0000

I recently revamped my website. I had grown out of my previous one and needed to make the services I offer clearer, after 2 years it’s good to have a bit of a spring clean!

I’ve applied CSS3 to produce gently rounded corners and subtle drop shadows, so it looks just a little bit prettier if you view it in Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera. I’ve also used a nice font for headings throughout using CSS3 font-face and it seems to work ok across all the modern web browsers. For the non-webby folk, all this means is that I’ve used some of the latest web techniques to enhance the website design and unfortunately if you view the web through Internet Explorer you may not see all of the subtleties. I won’t say anything about how Firefox or Chrome are better than Internet Explorer, that’s for the individual to decide

Pretty font-face and css3 drop shadow in Firefox

Pretty font-face but no drop shadow in Internet Explorer 8

Essential tools used in the new design:

Font Squirrel http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ for font-face
WordPress 3.0 Beta
Article on @font-face: http://www.miltonbayer.com/font-face/ (thank you)

Looking forward to using more CSS3 techniques in client and freelance projects, where appropriate!
