Step One: Branding
Branding is the first steps. Begin with pencil and paper so that elements are your own and can be easily manipulated.
Step Two:
Target Market?
Next think of who you are going to market to. Who is the target audience and what are they going to want?
Step Three: Stickies
In my creative process, when I find or have an inspirational idea, I draw or write it down as soon as I can.
Step Four: Creating Mockups
When the research is at a comfortable place, begin constructing mockups of site design.
Step Five: Mockups of Other Pages
The mockup for my about page. After getting the layout down for the index page, I began to contruct how my about page would be setup.
Step Six: Wireframes and Feedback
After deciding on a design and getting others feedback, construct a wireframe and flowchart which will make building the site smoother and more efficient.
Step Seven:
Making Connections to Begin Construction
In this case, I had two designs that I thought would work, so after some feedback from peers I made a decision to go with the first design.
Step Eight:
Layouts and Grids in Illustrator
I created a mockup in Illustrator to arrage the grid layout for mockup one.
Step Nine:
Which Grid and Typography Works Best
I created a second mockup in Illustrator to arrage the grid layout for mockup two.
