Design Direction

Dear Readers,

Happy Friday!

Some of you may remember when I blogged about working on the look and feel of the website a couple of days ago. Where I complained about my eyes going blurry, etc, and I showed a really stingy thumbnail screen print of the look and feel so far:

Well, after looking at it for quite a while, I decided the colours were not happy enough. I origionally tried to stick with the company's colour scheme but whilst restricting myself, I think my design direction got a little lost. I think everything started becoming too drained, dusty and gray. In reaction to this, I decided to play around with the scheme of things again to uplift the mood.

Obviously, not going overboard with colours and making it looking like a disco... I inserted some sunny orange highlights, abstract sky blue background patterns and little hints of vibrant pinks here and there.
Here's a new stingy thumbnail =) Much fresher?










Anyway. I came across my friend's new illustrations today and I found them really stunning. They made me miss designing! By Sarah McLeod:
