Because this is for my personal portfolio site, I was able to go off of one mood board in order to create my vision. I put together images from my Pinterest board in Adobe Illustrator then took colors from the images and made my color palette which you can see echoed through my current site.
I brought the color palette I initially created into another artboard in Adobe Illustrator and attached the hex codes for future use. I also used the moodboard to create a type suite I was happy with.
With the creative direction, color palette, and type suite solidified I went into Adobe XD to design the initial draft of the website for both desktop and mobile view. I then went into Showit and with a few adjustments I developed the website I had created in Adobe.
