Web Design Forum: New Website for Jill Calder - Web Design Forum

I've been asked by Fife based illustrator Jill Calder to redesign her current website. It's going to be a really fun project as I love her work and as we've also worked together before on this animation, we understand each others working practices and so far the communication and work flow has been great.

I've come up with initial concepts and ideas and passed these on to her and she's then mocked up some illustrations for me to play with and it's like a game of design tennis. After a few rounds we've decided upon the colour scheme and basic layout, fonts to use etc and I've done a few more visuals for her for guidance and now I'm just waiting for all her funky illustration to come through so I can do the next stage. This takes time, so I've got to wait until next week to see what she's come up with.

So far:






As an additional element to the site I'll be animating all of the illustrated headers as well as other little bits here and there throughout the site and in exchange for this service I'm getting an original illustration from Jill - I gave her a list of my favourite words and she's going to do something funky with them - no idea what, but I'm sure I'll love - nothing beats a 'creative exchange'!
