Wild Clothing - Finished

I think I've finished this now. To see the site working go here.

I changed the fonts used, added some hover effects to the navigation and managed to get the footer working properly. The paint splatters are displayed at the bottom of the page no matter how long it gets.

There are still a couple of things that bother me but I don't know what to do about them. The background looks really plain being just white, I tried adding a simple texture to it but it just made it look too busy along with the paint splatters. I don't know if it's just because I've been staring at it for ages, but the design seems a little boring to me now.. I dunno.

Signature Illustration Blog

If you're interested in art or illustration, a great place to check out is the Signature Illustration Blog. They regularly showcase amazingly talented artists and illustrators of all different styles, and also show hand-drawn animations and short lessons that can be useful. It's an excellent place to browse to gain inspiration or simply just pass some time by looking at beautiful paintings.

Wild Clothing Final Design

This is the design I've settled on. I might still change fonts/background colour etc.

Wild Clothing Development

I've tried the wavy navigation design I came up with earlier in Photoshop but I think it looks a bit tacky to be honest. Don't think I'll be using this.

Ana Bagayan

I recently found the website of an amazing artist called Ana Bagayan who has done work for the likes of Rolling Stone, Diesel, Honda and Sony. Her paintings have somewhat sickly-sweet fairy tale like themes, though there is often something dark or surreal lurking in the background. I advise you all to go and look, discover and appreciate.

Final Wireframe

This is the wireframe for my final design, though it's a pretty messy looking one. I've decided to keep the messy pattern for the header and use the same effect on the footer. The wavy navigation just didn't look very good, and I didn't really like the vertical navigation either.

Super cute website

Design studio Meomi have what is possibly the cutest website I've ever seen!

The content is set within what is apparently called the 'cloud house', which is created in Flash and features numerous animated little critters. Various sounds and animations play out when the cursor is hovered over the different areas. I love it and think everyone else should too!
