Wireframes and ideas for my website
Using Axure Pro:
On my visit to Numiko I was introduced to a piece of software called Axure Pro which is used specifically for wireframes. I downloaded the software and had a play around with my wireframe for my website, I am by no means a master at the software but I plan to continue to use it throughout the third year.

Mocking up the website:
The naviagtion:
I wanted the navigation of my site to be simple and to the point, like myself. I had to decide what pages needed to be on the site. In order to do this I had a brainstorm in my notebook which allowed to look at the things I wanted my website to do.
Digital Wireframes:
Final Mock ups:
I wanted to keep some consistency throughout my branding and this included the format and information of my CV on my about page.
Mocked up onto a mac:
After mocking up this homepage I am not 100% happy with the size of the website, the images are very large and overpowering and it is not pleasing to the eye. I decided to re-size the homepage and was much happier with the results:
As a web designer I am not 100% sure that this design will be the one that I use for my personal website, I want to spend a substantial amount of time working on a website for myself and be sure that it works for me as a designer and also a person. I want to work with a developer to ensure that my design meets the agile styles that are being introduced in studios nationwide. I hope that my placement and Numiko will allow me to gain some experience within the web design and development sector and I will hoepfully be able to have a professional looking website for third year.
