"I'm Walking on Sunshine and Doesn't It Feel Good"



I love music. It makes me feel free and happy and can fit any mood that I am in. If I'm sad, I can listen to some song that makes me feel that I'm not alone. I can feel that I can party in my living room with music that makes me want to dance. It makes me feel relaxed and I can be goofy and not feel self-conscious. Music is my cup of tea that I need every day and fulfills me. This side of me doesn't really come out a lot.

Screen shots of Audi R8 Mock-Up Design



I wanted my text and colours to be of a similar palette to create uniformity and simplicity. The images that I chose were to reflect about what Audi offers and is about than more about the design. So I based the website mock-up on organization and the site being informative.



This was my layout of my images. I wanted one image to be a focal point but for the focal point to be active and busy. The other images were laid out in an asymmetrical pattern to bring your attention to all the features than just placing them exactly in columns. That's why the images that are bigger are emphasized since that's more what I want to focus on which is the design and concept.



Finally this was my finished product. I added the effects on the titles to bring it out in a subtle way. I used a mundane and light background to highlight the pictures and to focus on the text also. Some challenges that I had was applying special effects to the titles and to make sure that everything seemed to be uniformed, but that was technical. I just was more careful in selecting the right colour style. Also the blue background behind the navigation bar, was to bring in the colour of blue from the titles and images.

Ideas for Vanilla Twist



These were some of my ideas. The logo would either have a font type that's wavy or curvy lines. The colours were either brown and white such as the colours of a soft ice cream vanilla and chocolate twist. The letters could also be blending into each other or seem to twist or turn towards each other. The other idea is that the lettering could be etched out from a black background to show the white colour of vanilla and that it is transparent.
My flavours are inspired by creating fruit flavours with a pinch of vanilla or chocolate. So there's the mango or orange flavoured chocolate ice cream or vanilla with mint.
My other desserts include milk shakes such as vanilla and chocolate mixed together. Also it includes vanilla steamers with a fruit flavoured twist such as raspberry and lemon extract. There's a vanilla lollipop where the vanilla ice cream is frozen and stay cooled and shaped as a lollipop. Also there's other snacks that include vanilla with a combination of brown sugar or cinammon such as cinammon sticks with vanilla ice cream on the side.
