True to the design process, ideas are worked and reworked. Using my wireframe samples as resource, I began to develop my vision of a new website for the Hammond Museum. Elements are the bones of a composition — each a support for the other and collectively provides a framework.
I made a commitment to color. During creation of the wireframes, I explored several color combinations for the website. As my casestudy is a museum, I was inspired by the artists’ palate and their greatest resource — the color wheel.
R-O-Y-G-B-I-V became my mantra and I began to paint my blank canvas.
The next element was a logo. The original logo was given color and became an important part of the website’s overall composition.
The fundamental building blocks of a website also provided opportunities to creative. Items needed for navigation were enhanced by the creation of a graphic. A silhoutte of a lotus flower was created and served as the backdrop to a menu bar.
Additional elements were also utilized, including a uniform sub-menu to each page, photographs, and social media icons.
Once all elements were gathered, I began to connect the dots. Below are sample website pages where once obscure items now provide a clear picture.
