Website Mock Up









I used layer comps to showcase the different components of my personal website mock up. The first layer comp features the home page of the website. To create this I used a picture I took as the background, I changed the picture to black and white. I used the shape tool to create two rectangles, one at the top and one towards the bottom. I filled both rectangles with white color, but I played with the opacity with the bottom rectangle. I downloaded the font for "Hi, I'm Lee Ann" and adjusted the color accordingly. I dropped on the pictures of the social media as well. The second layer comp shows a hover link. I dropped in a point and placed it over "About Me". I changed the color of that phrase to show what it would look like if one hovered over a link. The third layer comp shows the actual About Me Page. I hid the layers I did want shown and dropped in a picture of myself and added a drop shadow. I used the shape to create a rounded rectangle and adjusted the opacity before adding in the filler text.

Photo Editing


This assignment was a little of photo editing fun. I took this picture in Central Park in New York City. I really love how candid it is and I wanted to give it an old and/or polaroid look. I added a color balance layer and adjusted it as is. I also added a hue/saturation layer to brighten the image. 


Dreamy Business Card

The sky has always been one of my favorite things in the world. I was excited to do this assignment because it allowed me to put a little piece of me within my design. This business card allowed me to be professional and creative. Originally, the background was white and the moons (which are paint brushes I found online) were black. Switching the background to black and the moons to white really changed the feel of the design. The stars as well as the blueish clouds are paint brushes. I felt the font had a dreamy feel to it (I also downloaded the font into photoshop) as well. Lastly, I added the LinkedIn,image, just to simply communication I can be found on that social outlet.
