Wireframe For Website

The new bakery in town, "Main Street Sweets," has commissioned me to design its online presence. Its mission is to be a homey and comfortable spot for teenagers or adults to hang out at or bring homework or work to. They also have an event room to host birthday parties, small groups, study groups or other events of that type. The main purpose of their website is simply to display their goods and the atmosphere of the place.

Along with the above homepage, I also created menu, events, and about pages.

The menu is essential because it displays to potential customers their food options at Main Street Sweets and also assists with online orders.

Because Main Street Sweets contains a private events room, they have a webpage to display what it looks like and give people an idea of what their event could look like. The text on this page describes the space, what type of events are held there, and also convinces the reader to hold their next event there.

The About page is also extremely important. Small bakeries have an advantage on large chain restaurants because of the emotional and relational connection between the owner and customer and also there's always a story behind a small bakery. The about page describes the owners, the mission of the bakery, the story behind it, and also where they get their ingredients for their products (as this is becoming more and more important to people).

Here are two examples of terrible kerning:

Graphic & Image

Although the terms graphic and image are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to two different things. Graphic refers to any type of visual presentation that is displayed on a physical surface. This includes symbols, numbers, drawings, typography, and web buttons. However, image refers to a two- or three- dimensional representation of a person, object, animal, or scene. Because they can be still or moving, images range from photographs and charts to broadcast television and digital video. One main difference between the two is that graphics remain still and images can be moving. Raster images and Vector graphics are the two main methods for displaying graphics. Raster images are composed of pixels (little tiny squares of color), while Vector graphics are defined using paths (geometrics areas defined by curves and lines). They have many differences including editing software (raster uses apps such as Adobe Photoshop and vector uses t...
