This is the moodboard created for an HIV project I had going on. The project apparently is still in the works, but I think this graphic really capture the look that the client wanted to go for, which was something hip that young people would want to look at.
The black color was chosen from inspiration from iTunes commercials, and the bright warm colors were chosen to give you a subtle hint pointing at blood colors, as well as the color of love but also danger and alert.
I wanted the graphics to be a bit abstract, to keep the audience interest, so I picked this rounded-shaped star things that went flowing straight into the injections, and also some drops of blood across the graphic. All graphics would have a similar style to this one, the only thing left to choose was the font-face which was left undefined. I hope that in the future, the client comes back to this idea, so it can be further developed to become a great place for information about HIV and AIDS for the Peruvian Youth.

siutou-amy.com used to be my domain, and I kept it updated since April 2004. I changed layouts several times and this one was the last layout I used as siutou-amy.com. It was released in January 2005, right after New Year’s eve. The website contained film reviews, wallpapers, image displays, a collection of essays, fiction, a photo gallery, a guestbook, all functioning with PHP, some MySQL, in XHTML format.
This visual style came out of nowhere, after a few months of very serious graphics with colors such as pale dark pink and dark grey, the colors in this layout are pale yellow, dark purple and green, giving it a very toxic look… very different from all the other color palettes I have used. Since yellow and purple are complimentary color, I wanted to have other things that complimented each other, like pixel-based fonts with grid layouts with texture grunge brushes and dust textures, that all combined gave this really unique and fresh look to my website.
The website also featured special tabs, in which I had a poll system, as well as different tabs that were dinamically updated, as well as each blog entry. My film review archive contained over 200 films reviewed since February 2004, which was one of the most visited sections of the website.
