Blog Critque

The critique of my website was very useful and helped guide me on how to improve it. Some suggestions I received were to add more contrast to my color scheme within my site, which I agree with, because the light purple in my website is too light. I had some text that was aligned correctly as well, in which I'm grateful that my classmates caught it because my eye didn't catch it at all.


I am currently adding more work to my portfolio as well as a spot for my assignments. It’s very exciting because I get to create illustrations to present my work. I think I will modify the few I had on my website to make them all consistent with the style. I've been testing which style I would like to do. 


Overall, I think the feedback I received was very helpful and allowed me to improve my website based on the feedback from other viewers.

"Pop, subcultures and the future of graphic design: an interview with Experimental Jetset" Response

       According to the article “ Pop, subcultures and the future of graphic design: an interview with Experimental Jetset”. What sparked an interest while reading this article was that an interest they all shared led them to where they are now. Post-Punk was a gateway and inspiration for their work now. Without Post-Punk, they wouldn't have had the courage to go to art school and be involved with graphic design.      That section stood out to me the most, especially since I feel I had an entry way through graphic design and can relate to how much an interest can change your whole life and lead you somewhere you never thought you would be.

Once I found that entryway, I felt as if it had changed my whole life as well. I would have never thought I would be where I am not, a couple of years ago, b...

  A few more Icons we came up with in our group! We can develop a style with thicker outlines and a more straightforward approach. We also wanted to come up with a sign design, which is the red icons on the top. Our inspiration for these designs was the safety data sheets to guide survivors through the apocalypse.

Artist Websites

Here are 3 artist websites that caught my eye! What's interesting is that each one is obviously a different style, but each one truly showcases the artist's style through their website, not just through their work. Each one presents themselves and their work very well, and it's also playful. Compared to other websites I checked out, these caught my eye more and hooked me into looking more into who they are and what kind of art they present. That is a goal for my website as well, to be professional yet playful, to show more of my personality to my viewers through my designs.  The one that mainly caught my eye the most was David Shrigley. I enjoyed his creativity put into it and how he didn’t overwhelm it with designs as well. His layout has sections of his work, such as colorworks, printmaking, etc.  As for Kilm Type Foundry, I admired the layout and how straightforward it is. It aesthetically forms together to perfectly present her work. The layout reminds me of a digital m...
