Website Task

For this task we had the option of building an actual website or a social media page as a website. I went for a social media based website as that’s what’s used the most today and it’s a popular platform to market for your company/work. Your page automatically attracts the people who are more likely to visit your page through their suggestions and through the images they look at everyday, instagram tracks what you often click on or look for and bring that to your attention on your explorer page on the instagram app. There are also many growing businesses based on instagram today which was also why I decided to go with that option.

This is the instagram profile icon. I named it Lorem Epsom during the beginning stage of creating my account as I was designing my page to see what the page would initially look like. Using my logo as inspiration, I created my icon with the same type and image texture.

I created a circle shape and created a clipping mask with the ink stain image to fill the circle.

I then added my type in and made the fill white like my business card logo.

I added an outline shape of my circle to the inside of the shape like the border around my business card. I used the gradient for the outline.

I then grouped all my layers together.

This is my final profile icon.

I then went on to adding my bio and profile icon onto my account. I also changed my name from Lorem Epsom to my name

Due to the limitations of characters I was able to place my bio on my instagram story that expires in 24 hours.

I managed to add a highlight to my page which means I could add my expired story to it, so anyone that visits my page can see it.

I then began adding my latest work to my page.

The link in there will direct you to my social media platform where you can see all my posts.
