Website Buts

This is an interface design for a campaign called "Website Buts." The concept behind the campaign is the idea that there are so many people out there that say, "I have a website but..." and the design firm behind this website could help you "turn your but into an and."

This was a simply designed website created for informing everyone about websites, hosting and domain names. The interface is friendly and approachable appealing to anyone who wants to learn about the nature of websites or anyone who needs a website. The design firm's official web page is displayed at the bottom and is a direct link to examples of work and pricing.

I also created the illustration of the butt on the computer screen. This was such a challenge for me. How do you create an appealing butt that isn't sexy or disgusting? I could have used a baby, but that would be more cute than funny. "Plumber's crack" is the stereotypical go-to funny butt I think, and I think this is my take on the concept. The tattoo is the company's logo.

Guilt

So, with the final completion of my website (if you can consider four portfolio pieces complete) I'm suddenly riddled with guilt about never updating a blog I intended to use as a vital part of my design self. How else can I keep track of what I've done and when? How can I see how I've grown as a designer? A copywriter? A creative?

I suppose these questions cannot be answered unless I am disciplined and continue to update my blog with my "everyday designing adventures." Laziness is a poor excuse, but, in the end, it's probably the reason for my laxness. My portfolio website has taken up a chunk of my creative free time and then the whole life thing tends to get in the way - how horrid.

And, with this update I will pledge to build a growing memory of what I have accomplished in order to one day look back and smile at what I have learned (or learn from my mistakes) and also to keep a current portfolio of my design work.

Here's to resolutions all year round!
