I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d like to change my design and style for my site, to give it more individual character. The illustrative design and pastel colours suit the content but for me, it s a very obvious style to go for. Jacqueline Wilson’s books are great for teenage girls, but I want to


appeal to a wider audience.
I had a bit of a brain storming session and touched on a scrapbook style using post-it notes and Polaroid photos, notice board pins and handwriting with hand drawn illustrations. Inspiration coming mainly from Jamie Oliver’s cooking programme. But again, it’s not





exactly original! Then I got thinking about trying to use photography again because I didn’t actually do anything with those sweet images I took. I started fiddling around with these stencil type logos in Photoshop. I like the idea and the second one is my favourite, but for some reason they just don’t grab me. When creating them though I just happened to hide the hundreds and thousands layer and the resulting image is image 6. I really like this. It is simple but has its own style. I want to develop it a bit more by exploring different textures and also making it out of paper instead of it being completely computer generated.
If I pursue this idea, (which I think I should considering the time scale!) the rest of the site will be very minimalist with one key image on each page and quite a lot of white space. I might explore incorporating post-it notes, torn edges etc.
