My
first meeting with Bate Brand was in their office in Ryde (Isle of Wight) . I
presented my portfolio and explained to the team what I aim to achieve for the company on a voluntary
basis. Mr. Bates gave me a description of what Bate Brand deals with and
introduced me to a service called “Signature Printing” which provides print
consultancy and advice to interested clients. I was shown the existing website
and was offered to work on creating a modernised version of it. I accepted the
offer and got to know the other members of the team as well – Elliott (Graphic
Designer) and Rachael (Sales and Marketing).
For most of my meetings with Bate Brand I got to work more with Elliott who showed me the principles of
Squarespace – a content management system for building and publishing websites. It did not take me too
long to get used to it as I had worked with similar online builder before. I
was also given a task by Elliott which aimed to include HTML code into a
Squarespace that is also using the twenty/twenty plugin - http://www.massexod.us/blog/how-to-create-before-and-after-images-for-squarespace .
Another piece of code Elliott asked me to implement was relying more on CSS and
Javascript and it adds animations to content blocks of the page in a way that
it looks more dynamic and fun - https://www.droverrideshare.com/blog/2016/7/25/css-animations-and-squarespace .
Both were completed successfully as Elliott seemed impressed and suggested that
we should use them for the new Signature Printing website. At the end of the session Elliott asked me
if I can come up with a demo concept for the new Signature Printing website and
look into some similar websites’ design choices.
