Changes

If you guys are wondering if I have read this blog, well maybe you have but the design layout keeps chaning, I get bored very quickly with my design template. I prefer to change colours form time to time, just like when you wake and you want to know what to wear today. SOmetimes I foget if today is saturday or sunday...anyway I came across an excellent design site which provides details about colour, pattern, products and also information about other designers. This really helped me to put a design concept together.
The design on the left handside is from Tord Boontje's which is called Ivy Panel, its a panel for the wall. The second picture of the blossom is a note pad from Binth's

This website provides different products for homeware and personal items but I came across these design which is a reflection and provides ideas for my website. The website capabilities and functions were easy to use from a customers perspective. Its quite boring in term of design but the concept or focal point was the product. I think the website could have some what more colour and re design the layout of the product display. There top navigation is very clean and clear for the viewer, and the navigation list on the left hand side lists a category of products sold which is also a normal design function. I would redesign it so it doesn't look so nutritional or medical looking, the logo is quite boring and also it shows a medical status rather than selling home ware products. This could be there website concept but if I had to redesign the web page where it will still keep the main functional aspects but have it a lot more trendy and vibrant and I would re-engineer the page layout and a way to attract customers to buy the item. I'm not trying to bag out the website its just I would of done it differently.

Homeware product in this generation is a growing trend everybody is buying something for their house, it continually changes all the time. I noticed my mum keeps buying products and designs for our kitchen or the living room. Colours are important and so is design, if you put effort into the website people will think this person really knows what they are talking about in regards whats happening with the world today etc,..(see First Impression count for web). I need to make sure the design layout, colour and so on reflect my target audience; as 5 seconds on a website is so important before the viewer click away.
