Hi everyone,
I'm going to test out a new idea on the forum and wondered if you'd indulge me or be interested in it at all?
The idea is this "a follow along web design project". I wish I could see how others work a lot of the time, see how things are achieved etc. So that's the idea. To give people an insight into my working progress and see if anyone wants to comment on it and things along the way.
So, without further ado, here's the "brief" and what's happened so far.
"I really need to improve my web design skills. I want to create a site from scratch rather than relying on Wordpress themes and templates. So, with that in mind, I've volunteered to create a site for my partner's mam's café. The café is in Rothbury in the North East of England and it's called The Sun Kitchen. The cafe is famous for it's coffee, cakes and baked goods."
What's happened here so far is that basically, I've opened up and saved out the 960gs Photoshop template with a white background. I've also began pinning a lot of research and inspiration to a specially made board on Pinterest. This helps keep me thoughts together and collated in one place that I can access from anywhere. I've also created two projects. One containing the Responsive Bootstrap from http://www.initializr.com, the other is going to contain the PSDs and Photoshop artwork.
I'm beginning to sketch a few ideas and things down too, I'll try and get them photographed when I have a moment.
Anyway yeah, let me know your thoughts and ideas. Fire any questions at me when you have them and we'll see how this goes!
