English Language Centre Site Design
nikanstis — Sun, 02/28/2010 - 20:03
Site design for English Language Centre, small and quirky centre of learning based in the South west of England. I wanted the design of their site to reflect the original, bright and inspirational way in which they teach and interact with their students. This is a very informal and fun loving environment and the client wanted this to fully come across. I think this was achieved with a very bright, slightly chaotic but clean design.
Site was designed in Illustrator CS4.
HTML and CSS were hand coded in Dreamweaver CS4.
