Seeeme.org Website Round Two

After showing the Seee Me board members my first drafts, they gave some excellent feed back. They wanted more earth tone colors, more focus on the children, etc. I really wanted to represent all the color of Uganda. Often, when people make propaganda concerning Africa, they neglect to do this. I find that really sad because Africa is color! Anyhow, I think the changes made us all happy.

After I had done that, my husband (recent MBA graduate) pointed out some things I could add to make the site more interactive and (hopefully) help us raise more money for the orphans at Byana Mary Hill (read some information about the Byana Mary at our sister foundation's website).

Also, I made a little "how-to" for a class assignment here. It is about html code, so probably not that exciting to the general public. I had to make a quiz to go along with it, see here.

On a random side note, I was googling "Byana Mary Hill" to see if I could find info about them and my youtube video came up. On Gawkk. Under celebrities. Some "famous" actor named Jonah Hill put it up on his videos because it had our cute little Jonah (raising his eyebrows) in it and it was at Byana Mary Hill. Weird. And, I want my video back.

For my graphic interface class this semester, I've been given the assignment of posting my progress through the class.

This is my first assignment: an HTML website. We had to make mock-ups for class on Wednesday. I was originally planning on doing a "dating site" for charities. That project had way too big of a scope. Instead, I decided to help out seeeme.org, an institution that helps Byana Mary Hill Orphanage and other projects in Uganda. This initiative is very close to my heart and I want to be involved as much as I can. So, the following images are the seeeme.org potential sitemap and potential designs. The content is all my doing, and the board members are currently reviewing it. The potential layouts are meant to give an idea of three different feelings.

The Lily Garden: Personal Project

For "The Lily Garden" logo concept I wanted to capture quiet, subtle elegance of lilies with this logo. I also wanted to make sure that the logo didn't lose it's playfulness.

A simple pricing sheet could also be made for those planning on printing the list on their home computers. The following (excepts from a full version) could be available on the website for people to download for a reference. (Allowing customers to view the images and all info at anytime without having to go on the internet.)

My catalog concept focuses on the beauty of lilies. After finding a ton of great photos on Flickr of lilies, I came up with an idea that "The Lily Garden" could use: have a photo contest! The winners get credited photos in the catalog and "The Lily Garden" gets the benefit of the great photos while improving relationships with its customers.

Each new section would feature a full photo spread of a flower (with the use of the subtle outline of the lily image mark infused in these photos).
