I have always considered myself to be a developer. I have enjoyed other peoples designs, I want all of my software to look good and function well; to that end I make sure I keep my finger in the design pie (so to speak.) Sifting through Photoshop tutorials, reading web design blogs and websites.
So aside from making corporate sites, business web applications, sticking within UX guidelines and the basic principle of CRAP (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity). My design skills have not really had much of run out. Until now.
My first real design for my first real client, and a very picky and strong willed one at that: the other half.
Amy has been writing songs and playing live for a couple of years now, recently she decided to get a band together and rock out like she has always wanted. So with that, a new website, a new look, a new start.
So today, it is unveiled; the many months of “discussions” has resulted in this very grungy looking website.
Here are a couple of screen shots to give you an a look.
Amy is performing a number of gigs across England at the moment, go take a look.
