Website Project

[Filler image credits to Brady Bellini] Overview A week ago, we were assigned a web design project that showcased two of our favorite projects in the rotations that we've been through so far.  Using videos as a tool from our instructor, we followed along with their steps and created a website.   How It Went Along the way, there were plenty of technical struggles. One major road bump that my computer just couldn't work with was wrapping the text around my logo. After spending around twenty minutes working on it, and another ten from classmates, I finally surrendered. I also found the coding confusing, so I spent the majority of my time in the design mode. Other than these small frustrations, the project actually went pretty smoothly. In the end, I'm proud of how it turned out and I wouldn't change anything about it.   What I've Learned Overall, I took away a lot more about web design than I went into the project with. Although I cou

Elevator Pitch

Hi! I’m Layne Renfrow, and I’m currently a student in Olathe Northwest eCommunications program. Of the four fields in the program, I am most interested in video production and graphic design. Both of which, I could see myself having a future career in. My highest accomplishments have been in the graphic design field. I am passionate about editing photos, and redesigning them to make them unique. But, I’m eager to continue learning more about editing, both in video and photos. I have a positive personality, and I’m very friendly to those I am meeting for the first time. I also believe in individualization, and that everyone has their own quirks and traits that make them themselves. Thank you for your time, and feel free to contact me at my email.

My Logo

Overview For this project, we were asked to create a logo that reflects ourselves. Each shape and color had to come together for one overall meaning. Beforehand, we watched some videos for inspiration and design help. Then we would sketch some ideas and decide on three of our favorites. The next day, we could sit down at the computers and start to create a black and white copy. Once we were approved on our original designs, we could move onto the color process, where we would select which color scheme best fit our logo. Finally, we would tailor the final copy of the logo. How It Went I started out with no visual idea of what I was going to do. My original shape idea was a circle with a cursive "L" inside, which at the beginning, I really liked and thought about using. But, as I moved along in the design process, I realized that I had other ideas that were even better and had more potential. While I was sketching, I happened to look up at the screen, and my teacher
