Target. :)
To be honest, the whole purpose of this personal website of mine didn’t alter very much after a quarter. ;p. I am kind of torn between the name jovietajane.com and janekusuma.com. (So I might have to go and get votes from people.)
The purpose of this website is to showcase projects and artworks that I have done for the past couple of years. I am going with a simple and easy accessible layout for this website. Even though it is a simple website, I would like to make sure that it still gauges interest from my target audiences. I would like to go for duo tone, or maybe 3 tones color for the layout, because most of my artworks are already very colorful, so the colors and a little bit of illustration/design on it will work as a background instead of fighting for attention with my actual displayed artworks. This site also provides my contact so that my target audiences that are interested in the site and my artworks can reach me. Another thing I would like to do is to make this site a place of networking between fellow designers and artists. In the contact section, I will add a form for fellow designers and anyone who is interested to leave a message, comments and suggestion for improvement. Also, an improved and informative blog would be included as an external link for my website. (I am hoping my word press blog would develop well in the next couple of months, so it will be up and running whenever I graduate. Which is soon! September can’t come any sooner. ☺ ) I am also open for collaboration works with fellow designers and artists.
Goals and Objective:
To challenge myself to create a product (in this case, a website) that follows the function and meet professional standard in design industry. Also, to learn how to code properly with naming conventions that will communicate well.
To showcase my artworks and interact with fellow designers and anyone who is interested in my artworks.
To get myself projects from different range of clients from different media.
Target Audience:
Fellow designers/artists (for collaboration projects and to expand network.)
Different range of clients: experimental, corporate, small businesses.
Creative and Art directors that are looking for a specific graphic/illustration style.
And I love TARGET, the store. ( some random thoughts to make things a little bit easier to get through.
)
Okay, see you guys in class in……… an hour or so. haha.
