My Exhibition Website Design Concept

As part of my Website Team for the exhibition I have created a design for the site layout.

Each one of us in the group have done this and we will decide upon a design and/or take aspects of each which we like to make one mega site.

I tried to fit the design of the website in tune with that of the actual exhibition (design studio).



















I tried to make it look like the designers workspace/desk. i implemented the use of pieces of paper as 'notes' to like what the designer needs to do; these would be used as the navigation links.

In the top corner i thought it would be interesting if the logo was situated on top of a pile of post it notes, I have just used a quick piece of clipart to demonstrate where the logo would sit.

My main concern was thinking how would a banner/advert fit in at the top of the page. Thats when genius hit! I thought 'everyone has a mobile, and keep it near them usually at all times. Why would this designer be any different'.

This led to me laying a mobile phone length-ways at the top, allowing the screen to be utilised to display any banner, whether still or moving, without it looking like it doesnt flow with the rest of the design.

Now all that is left is to see whether the rest of my group like it!

  1. Hi Ryan,

    You're talking about two logos in your website. I already checked the ideas for flyers and mentioned them that they should stick to one logo (whichever you decide, but just one because you're making the visual information a little bit confusing). So, speak tonight with the people of Design and select one to put in your website.
    About your CV and business card: I think that it's an excellent idea to add your business card to your CV, but still, create an individual business card (if you want exactly like the one you're adding to your CV, or maybe with a little bit of variation) because sometimes the person won't need your CV, just your card to contact you later and they won't want to be carrying with your whole CV. So, if you find it more interesting, try doing a business card that has the same graphic element (maple leaf) and palette of colour but with a twist: maybe a zoom of the leaf, maybe using the shape of the leaf as your format, etc.).
