This design was made for a friend as a draft to see what a potential online presence would do for them. They wanted to be able to take commissions through the site as well as act as a shop and portfolio all in one for their art work.

I wanted to be able to match the colours they used in their art so that it tied everything together. These colours were usually warm and cold pastel colours. The blue pastel colour was used at the primary due to it being used in large quantities and easy on the eye while scanned, and a more yellowish pastel used as the secondary for hovers, actions etc.
To match their art style I decided on using a decorative font style. I wanted something that looked like it was written with a fountain pen with a light artistry to it but kept to a more sophisticated principle.
Image Cards. I needed to be able to display multiple images across the site for the portfolio section and the shop section. I used a white background and placed a smaller image with a shadow behind it to make it pop. The background also gives it a look of having a thick border separating it out from the others. To save on space, I used a hover on the cards to display other information about the image, such as tags, social media handles, title of the image and price.
