Work in Progress*

I have been working on my website for a some time, creating the graphics ready to upload. I have been using the database Indexhibit.org as i have read many positive reviews. Indexhibit is a popular database for creatives as it allows so much ease for showcasing works.

I’m finding the functions quite fluid, there are many ways to improve the template and downloaded extras, but as a novice i’ll be just pleased to get the website up and live and tweak it at a later date.

I love the format of indexhibit, works pretty much like a blog, you add text and upload images then turn on publish. I have learned a great deal from only playing about with the functions, not only that, the developers, Daniel Eatock & Jeffery Vaska are quick to respond to any queries in the forum. Plus a good friend of mine and co-design enthusiast Andi Farr has been giving me some great help and advice.

I hope to have the website up and running come September, after that i will be tweaking as my confidence grows - just like my blog design.

My set of 300 business cards arrived today. Really exciting to see the finish product professionally printed, the last 2 business card editions were printed from home.

The double sided printing, reversed out, works well, a bit like this structure below - what is one side without the other? And only enhances the concept of my new identity and showcase.

Making final amendments to the PDF Showcase ‘08.

My splash page has been update to correspond with the new identity. The website itself, i’m considering presenting like a showreel (from the original idea of the showcase format), you’ll be able to scan from left to right through the selected works.

I’ve just designed my splash page for my new and upcoming online showcase, SarahFrance.com, selected project works will be displayed with some background information. The page is now up, thanks to the help of my very intelligent friend Steph Hillon - thank you Steph.

Free cards, there are 70 altogether. Simply email me and i’ll send a few out. These cards are all unique, they were my business cards.

The cards show cropped work from my graduate showcase. I’ve decided to give them away as i’ve designed new ones.
