Third Layout for Website Construction

This is my third one. For this website, I want to bring something girly but stylish. The navigation is also simple and readable while the background is a lilttle bit messy. In this site, I leave a lot of white space to make things look clear and neat. The header is a script to suit the whole theme of the site. I use brush to create the background and then add some effects to make it whiter and more transparent. The lipstick is added to decorate and make it interesting.


Second layout for Website Construction

Since I had to make 3 differents mock ups for that course, I had to run with the time to complete the whole thing -.-
This is my second layout. For this website, I use a modern and simple style. It is only the main title 'Anh Huynh' which is used a graphic pont, the rest is Vernada font. I do like this font due to its readibility and simplicity. The orange and brown color are used to present something stable and trustworthy since I want my potential customers will have that feeling when looking at this site. The navigation is kind of plain due to its whole main theme.

AIDS and Condoms posters that I like ^^ [PART2]

Since I found so many posters that are interesting to show, I posted 2 parts to make you guys feel easier to view ^^



It's not kind of a poster of supporting condoms, but it's a really cool one that I wanna show you. Let's see ^^
This poster is kind of simple... therez no image... therez no special effect... therez no special or "cool" font... but it shows a FACT that having sex with someone is like having sex with all of their previous and present partners (click the poster for more information)
Actually it makes me feel extremely scary when I'm reading those lines =[ so I think thatz a good poster. However, it has a limitation since the message can't reach those who can't read in English or totally illiterate ^^



It is based on an ancient Central Indian painting first published in 1883 in the Kama Sutra of Vatsyavana ^^ The message is also great: "No sexual act is more death-defying than sex without protection. Don't put yourself in that position--Pi Kappa Phi." I think it will extremely catch the viewers' attention and affect strongly on their thoughts about safe sex with condoms :D the reason is people, whatever they do or wherever they live, always pay attention to something that relates to SEX and SEX STUFF =] and that poster is one of them.

AIDS and Condoms posters that I like ^^ [PART1]

As Maddy told us to sketch a poster of supporting the use of condoms, I reseached on the net and found some AIDS and Condoms posters that were extremely interesting to me ^^ I'll share with you guys what I've found so far =]



This is a poster that is published as a bus-stop size. It is created to appeal safe sex through the use of condoms. I like the way the producers put many words that relate to diseases through unsafe sex such as HIV, herpes, syphilis, etc. That will warn viewers of the very bad results if they do not use condoms. The message "It's safe inside" is not only simple but also a good one to promote using condoms.



This AIDS poster was in South Africa which is a country with an extremely high HIV rate. It used the scary method to promote the use of condoms. In my opinion, that can be successful in some ways since people surely wanna have fun but are always scared of painfulness and death =]



It parodied a famous UK televison advert "It should be you". I think that the poster is funny enough to gain attention from viewers as well as has a specific and educative meaning of safe sex. People may remember it much longer than other posters.



That is an AIDS poster which aims at gay people. I do like the black and white color that the producers used, that makes the poster look simple but more meaningful than ever. The fonts and some other effects are very appropriate with the image and the message: "How do you know what you know?" ^^
