This is what I do
To me design is not just about aesthetics, but the art of fusing creative and practical together to form a unique and useable end product. Web design is no exception.

Varsity Magazine Website
Varsity magazine is a freely available publication distributed throughout inner Brisbane suburbs. With an established name and brand they were lacking one important marketing element, a web presence. With a strong push towards creating a community based image, they wanted a website which gave readers and users the ability to interact with the community and magazine itself. User profiles and the ability to submit self written articles are only a few of the features which will help this magazine grow into community publication.

Lure In Bed and Breakfast
The Lure Inn is a bed and breakfast establishment located in Mandora, a short ferry trip away from Darwin. The Inn needed a web presence which represented the unique location and tranquil environment which their establishment provides. After visiting and photographing the site, I used colours and textures which were commonly found within the area to help embody the unique environment.
Varsity Magazine
Working with Varsity Magazine as a graphic designer was an experience which I will never forget. As a graphic designer I had the responsibility to transform creatively written articles into an eye catching layout whilst keeping the focus on the writing itself. Working with 3 other graphic designers to establish a consistent look and feel throughout the entire magazine was always something to look forward to. Not only did Varsity give me a clear insight into the world of design but it definitely showed me the type of people I would like to work with in the future.
