I had a quick meeting with Catell today, although we are supposed to be using these sessions with her to get feedback on the competition briefs we spent most of the session discussing the design of my design of my website.
She genuinely liked the simplicity of my design, as an Illustrator she said that it is important that you don't distract the viewer away from your work by creating a website that it to busy and over the top. Illustration websites that are simplistic and let the work do the talking are much more effective. I am very confident that this is the type of website that I have designed.
Catell commented that she liked the way my hand rendered font gives it a sketch book type feel to it, I hadn't really thought of this before but know she has mentioned it I can see what she means and I do like this affect. On my title bar you can see a faint pencil line which I forgot to edit out but I am now considering keeping this.
Onto a topic that I seem to be neglecting and making the bottom of my priorities... D&AD.
Catella has asked me to produce 3 rought sketches of some idea's for the Illustration Brief ' KPMG' .
Here are a few points that she put across that I should keep in mind when designing the Illustrations:
* This Illustration is going to be displayed in Central London, so I should concentrate on designing an illustration that is the complete opposite of drab, conformed inner city, office life.
* Something like the countryside, holidays.
* Bright and Colorful.
So overall this was a very helpful chat, and I feel she has given me the urge to start getting stuck into this brief now.
