Beginning of Webart&design

Hello! This is Christie Lee. 2nd Year of Design Computing @ USyd. This will be my blog for my elective "AWSS2028 Web Art and Design."

Well, as a start I did my presentation on the website www.crisvector.com. This is an online CV for a Brazilian digital artist. I found this artist on www.deviantart.com as I am also a fellow deviantart member, and a great fan for digital art. He has been an inspiration to me for some time and so this was a great opportunity for me to present to the class some of his works.

The layout of the website is very structural and set up to become a professional outlook on this man's digital arts and works. It was designed and created in Flash and the website is capable of being loaded with a slow internet speed and also on different browsers ranging from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. This website is very convenient and capable to set out its purpose of presenting his artworks.

There is an index page that leads the viewer to his profile, affiliates, artworks, references and others. The use of automatic header/footers that labels each of his artworks, and what tools he used to create it, gives a sense of professionalism and clarity towards the viewers. Simple pastel colours for the layout and arial-like font expresses a touch of cleanliness and punctuality in his personality.

The targeted audience would probably be fellow artists and possible future company producers who would look to hire a digital graphic artist and may want to see a few of his online works. The links of "Shop" and "Contact" is always present on the website, under the logo of "crisvector" on the topleft. It being in that position is the first and clearest place for the user to find the links.

I love this website because it is straightforward and it is a representation of how digital art and design can collaborate and create a very professional yet artistic website for all the viewers to see and share in the online world.
