live!

http://www.ashleywiltshire.co.uk/ is now live, yes there are some things already that need to be changed added but for now a sigh of relief at actually having it up and running!

Jasper Goodall.

I've been researching website layouts today and Jasper Goodalls' is beauutiful, not to mention his work that accompanies it.

I really really would like one of his prints. especially one of the Dakinis ones. £175 though, not anytime soon.. Anyway thought I'd share.

4 helpful webdesign sites

My web design tutorials start tomorrow so I thought I'd do some research and practice some stuff on the program as well as layout.

So here they are,

- Standard banner sizes

- How to make a website in flash (albeit a terribly designed one)

- Making comment boxs/text scroll

- Simple tutorials in making website elements

- My friend from foundation is curating the Graphic Design/Illustration website for Brighton Uni; the alumni section is a great source for inspiration in layout.

(maybe one more for after lunch...fade in effect

Web Design

This week, I'll be learning the basics of Adobe Flash, how to create buttons, links and other simple webpage visuals.

I downloaded a trial version of Flash for the computer to help me on my way, It looks like something I've used before so lets hope I can pick it up quite quickly.

Was thinking about domain names and preferably I'd like my name in it. Unfortunately, afwiltshire.co.uk is already taken by a family run business in Surrey, just down the road..

Maybe they'll want to swap, if not ashleyfwiltshire.com is a possibility. I reckon I'll spend the rest of the day designing layouts and headers.
