the brief
Mags Brolly has a very unique and wonderful style coming through strongly in her artwork which served as the main influence on the site design. The site was to exhibit her artwork, from sketches and drawing to paintings, animations and commercial work. Mags wanted a website that did not follow common design trends or appear too “techie”. It also had to be very easy to use and update.
the final setup
- site design using elements taken from the artwork itself
- colour scheme taken directly from shopfront logo
- WordPress setup for easy updates
- artwork shown with Lightbox effect for large views
Prisca – design + implementation
Laura – image editing, browser optimisation
personal comments(written by prisca)
This site was an absolute pleasure to work on – trying to give the site the same feel which Mags delivers so beautifully in her artwork was such a change from having to meet strict design guidelines. Mags was happy for me to let loose creatively and the site went through various design changes before being finalised in its current form. Working with her artwork – taking elements to create the background and links and creating suitable icons – it felt like the website grew almost naturally. We wish Mags all the very best with her artwork.
