Interface Design - iPad App Design



This is my mood board for the iPad App Design. I decided to base it on the theme of a poster and invitation for SCD's Total Design 2013 Exhibition.  I was inspired to use the grid of images by Claire Coullon's website - she's a graphic designer based in Switzerland - and I've always loved her simple, stylish designs with fantastic use of colour. Also the mood board for a garden design inspired me, again a grid of images with beautiful colour. The greens and purples of a garden landscape along with some highlights of blues and lime green defined the colour theme.



Map Design


The brief was to design a map to show visitors to the SCD website directions to the new College campus in Blackrock. This project is very much a work in progress. I took the map into Illustrator having zoomed in on the area I wanted to recreate. At this stage I've recreated the topography i.e. roads, sea by tracing and using the pen tool in Illustrator but there's a lot more work left to do to make it into something original. An ongoing project...
