Website Layout

ERIN WASSON

Erin Wasson is not only one of my icons, her official website embodies an atheistic portrayed by the layout and color schemes. It is minimalist, with an artistic undertone due to her history in fashion. Many designer websites portray this "minimalist" attitude becuase the most important aspect is to show off the designed clothing and/or accessories.

Initial Page

The initial page that is viewed once searching for the site includes a black and white color scheme. Erin can be seen in a black and white fashion photograph as the background. On the borders of the page are "grunge" acid wash panels. Both the style of pose in the photograph and the acid wash panels portray Erin's fashion point of view. If one knows her style, she is into a southwestern, grunge type of look.

The heading is kept simple; a bold "ERIN" stretching across the top of the page. The spacing between each letter adds even more interest. Minimal links are located on the entire page.

Using the Links

When a link is selected, the "ERIN" heading and background do not change. It is only the picture that disappears and is replaced by a colored picture. Along the bottom is a scroll bar to pan through pictures. The scroll bar adds a new dimension to the page, moving horizontally instead of vertically. I believe that all this maintains the intended atheistic of "minimal." Choosing to display color pictures against a black and white background will make them "pop" more. This enhances the intended use of the website: to show off Erin's personality and work.
