I find this inforgaphic inspirational because it has the following features:

  • clear & easy to read layout
  • simple colours
  • creative use of icons
  • informative & professional
As a result of looking at this fashion designers infographic CV I will also try to design my Infogrpahic to have those features. I will use simple colours, to keep it professional. I will upload my achievements and my places of study. I will also include my Design Skills, and my digital skills.




Process & Software

I begun with an initial idea by drawing the timeline on paper. (upload the photo).
Software for infographics:
I considered using Canva & Pictochrt.com I decided to use Canva software because they have more choice of templates and it looks more professional.

Website Re-Design Gallery Page

EXAMPLE BLOG POST 

Fashion Gallery 

I will be making the following improvements on my Fashion Gallery Page:
I will be removing the unnecessary link that appeared on my gallery page in my portfolio:


  • The "Get in Touch" button is highlighted on the screenshot below in blue. At the moment it is not linked to anything. Therefore some users of my website may find it confusing. 



  • Fonts I will be improving the font consistency on my Gallery Page currently there are 7 different types of fonts on the gallery page: 

To improve the consistency on the website I will be using maximum of 3 fonts on my website. The text must all be the same, but the logo and the title could be different. This will hopefully make my website more attractive and professional. 

  • Gallery / Portfolio I will be removing a collaborative project from the Gallery of my website. I would like to focus on the Fashion industry, in order to prepare for my MA in Fashion Design. The work I will be uploading to my gallery must focus on Fashion Design and i would like to present myself as a fashion designer. 
I will be uploading my Garment Project into my Gallery as this will be a fashion projector.
  • Social Media: I will be improving my social media presence and include a link on my website to the social media accounts: 
This is my Instagram account. To make it more professional as my fashion design portfolio I will make the following improvements:
1. Add an introduction (about me as a fashion designer)
2. Upload at least 25 posts (images with description & #fashion design)
3. Follow independent fashion designers who are inspirational to me.
4. I will remove unnecessary images.
