Continuing to come up with new banner ideas for Dr. Jasper Smits’s WordPress site. Taking in consideration for Kei’s comment on the text, and Suloni’s suggestion for looking at the art deco style illustration as well as using the IMHR colors, this is the third version of the banner I came up with.

After some discussion over the last banner and reconsidering how to best visually represent Dr. Jasper Smits’s research, a second version of the banner was born. It is much more simple, both in terms of color scheme and composition, also taking into consideration for the text that will be appearing on the banner.

And a mockup for the site itself is also integrated to help better judge the banner. The banner used on the site mockup is slightly adjusted.

Project: Design mockups for Jasper Smits’s new website.

Completion: In progress

This project is a part of the design for Dr. Smits’s new WordPress site. The banner should be reflecting of his research, which I find vastly interesting. After my brief introduction to his research on the effect of exercise on anxiety, depression, and panic, I did some research on his studies, and find that his research very thoughtful. With the knowledge that I have gained from reading about his research, I wanted to create a banner according to his description of wanting to show how movement and speed, something that represents activeness helps with relieving stress or anxiety.

My first mockup is finished. I thought to take the form of a brain that looks somewhat dark, and have a figure in running pose leading towards the light, with some strokes that indicate motion.

I am still working on the second one, but currently my ideas center around this idea of a brain that is under stress, and a figure or some kind being active on a path.
