cdbaby iPad Welcome Screen - Grunge


Here is my iPad Welcome Screen for cdbaby using the grunge theme. It's not too terribly original, but it works for the first one, I think.

Project 3 - iPad Welcome Pages


For our third projects, we're doing iPad Welcome Pages instead of doing websites as was originally declared. In order to do this, we're picking a company that sells a product and we're making five different welcome pages, each one representing a mood or concept.

I have chosen CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com), an independent music reseller.

I am going to do a theme for each of five genres/moods: Grunge, Indie Romance, Retro, Metal, and Country.

For Grunge, I'm going to use a lot of black, grey, and brown with a splash of yellow for emphasis. This will show the dark, dirty, and gritty feeling of grunge music.

For Indie Romance, I'm going to use blues, pinks, and white to simulate the hand-drawn atmosphere of Independent Romance movies.

For Retro, I'm going to use the bright orange and greens of the psychedelic 1970s.

For Metal, I want to give the dark religious look of the death cult. I will be using a lot of dark colors to represent the darkness, dark reds for blood, and metallic colors for metal.

For country, I will use a mix of blue, green, and brown, the most common colors found in the country.

David Dashifen Kees

We have been instructed to design a poster revolving around a designer that we admire and for this project, I have tentatively chosen the web designer David Dashifen Kees. I have contacted him to make sure he is amiable with this idea and to see if he could provide me some content, but here is some of the content that I have gathered on my own:

David Dashifen Kees is a professional Web Designer and Developer currently working for the University of Illinois Mechanical Science Department as a Web and Database Specialist. Dashifen graduated from Lehigh University with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer science and a Master's Degree in Instructional Design and Development, but most of the web-based technologies that he uses were self taught by designing and developing websites for communities such as the Illini Roleplaying Network (illini-rp.net and larp.illini-rp.net), Rawrcast (www.rawrcast.com), the Pagan Student Association (uiucpagans.com), and Progressive Pagans (progressivepagans.org).
