Social Media Web Design Tutorial

Wendy — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:25:20 +0000

Since I did the dessert blog tutorial for Advanced Photoshop magazine, it’s caught the eye of Web Designer magazine. They also wanted a crafty design for their latest tutorial in the theme of social media. Here I mix in Japanese paper (a fave of mine) with good ol’ trusty Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. This would be my take on Twitter if it were decked out in a funky outfit, hehe.

Dessert Blog

The last month has kept me busy! This is a brand new tutorial created for UK magazine Advanced Photoshop issue 65 (sister mag of Photoshop Creative and Web Designer).

This tutorial called for a scrapbook-inspired blog design, so of course I based it on one of my fave topics: dessert! Doodles of frilly cupcake paper and sprinkles topped with a candy cane border added the finishing touch. Mmm what I would give for some creme brulee right now…

Typographic Web Design

Hello, hello! Here is the latest tutorial I did for UK magazine Web Designer issue 161. This one focuses on creating a web template from typography and graphic elements. Veering from that, I went with the theme of a club poster promoting a fantastical party. Woo!

80’s Style

Hi! This is my latest tutorial appearing in UK magazine Web Designer. This time around, neon colours, fun doodles and patterns adorn the template in true 80’s retro style. What fun! As a child of the 80s, it’s definitely one of my favourite eras, if not the best. Totally rad!!

Girlband Web Template

Wendy — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:13:00 +0000

Web Designer magazine issue 158 is on sale now! This time, I channel my music tastes to create this tutorial template for a teen girl band. Electric colours, bright lights and attitude vamp up the page.

On another thought, maybe I should start a girlband…

Newspaper Headings

Wendy — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:53:00 +0000

Hello! Just wanted to tell you about the latest Web Designer magazine, issue 157 (that’s the cover up top) :)

This month, I cover how to create web headers inspired by newspaper styles like a financial newspaper, retro broadsheet and trashy tabloids. As always, it was fun coming up with the tutorials and this time, I got to “invent” my own news, which made it extra fun! Perhaps I can moonlight as a news reporter / journalist documenting fictitious news?

Owl: People Power

Wendy — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:47:00 +0000

This is an old web layout I designed for Owl magazine during my internship. It was for their World Watch section, which has seasonal coverage on a particular world issue. Mine was called People Power and it illustrates how a certain machine made the lives of women and girls easier in Africa!

Sketchy / Doodly Website

Wendy — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:23:00 +0000

Hola world! This is the latest tutorial created for Web Designer magazine (from UK) on designing a sketchy / doodly template. I pulled out my box of trusty pencil crayons (childhood faves) and pens and went to town. Fluttering shapes, fun colours and striped lines where the way to go! Oh how I miss the days of doodling and sketching away with no worry of the rest of the world…
