Here is the second round of design that includes one design pushed a little further and another layout that is different from the first one. I think that the two designs can be combined to create an overall new design for Java Love.
Month: November 2014
Mobile Sketches
To bring this website to the mobile platform, the layout has to change to incorporate a different size screen. These are some of the sketches to incorporate the important information from the Java Love website.
Design Round 1
For the first round of design we had to create two looks for the home page and a inner page. I designed the events page as the one inner page. The two looks use two different forms of the navigation and one of the designs uses icons instead just a mix of words and images.
Java Love Wireframes
This is the first round of wireframes drawn up for the different pages included in the site. Some of the structure changed as I played around with design, but this is just the first round of wireframes and the updated versions will come later. There are also some design sketches that I drew up as I was pumping out ideas for the wireframes.

Java Love Brief/Site Map
In this post you can find my design brief for the new Java Love website and also the Site Map of different subjects that the website will include.
Java Love – Local Business
The beginning of the Get Local project started off with a hunt for a local business that is in need a website to support their business. I searched around for different businesses and as soon as I walked into Java Love in Montclair I was excited by the atmosphere and I decided to find out more. When I furthered my research I found out that this local business also has a great story behind the owners and love they put into their shop.
Here is some of the research I did including pictures of the business and some questions that furthered my knowledge and understanding of the business. I also looked at some analogous sites that Java Love may relate to.
