Michael Hartmayer – Portfolio

Almost done adding all the functionality to the CP. My process for this project has been pretty fun. Something like this:

1. Layout the different pieces of information I want to show

2. Style them

3. Make them dynamic

I usually like to plan a lot before I tackle big projects like this, but I just couldn’t resist. Having too much fun just winging it! Guess that’s the advantage to working on your own projects. They get to be as fun as you want them to be! Here’s a screenshot:

It’s been ages since I’ve had to work with illustrator, and I know I’m definitely a bit out of touch. The project I’m currently working on is going to be in need of icons, so I figured I would take a look at a few tutorials and check up on the new tools and techniques. Definitely worked out well.

Check it out:

I didn’t finish, of course, since most of the other details were just repetition of the same techniques. It’s gotten a lot easier to create stunning looking icons in illustrator than it used to be, and I’m excited to really get my hands dirty with that in the near future.
