IC!! Ice Cream - A Website

Good day!

Today I will post screenshots of my website: IC!! Ice Cream. Check it out here.

It is a final project of Web Development class. I designed this website myself with Adobe Dreamweaver and Illustrator.The site is not responsive, since my lecturer does not want it to be a responsive one. My theme is about ice cream. Look at the favicon! Ice Cream ~^o^~

This is the Home page:

IC!! Ice Cream Website - Home - Pamz
Home
I put the logo in big size in the upper part, so it will be the first thing the viewer will see. The menus are put under it. The concept is an ice cream place, with many blue (vanilla) ice cream boxes as the menus. When the mouse hover on the menu, it will change to strawberry ice cream with some chocolate sauce (like HOME up there).

The backgrounds are tiled pattern of ice cream C;

Here are more screenshots of the other pages:

IC!! Ice Cream Website - Toppings and Cones of Ice Cream around the world - Pamz

These pages have different template than the Home Page. I put the menus on the left side. When the mouse hovers over them, the empty scoop will have a scoop of ice cream and chocolate sauce.

The information I put in the sites are all from other websites and they are all sourced.

Story

Fiamma is a baby fire cat that has lived for 54 years. She still has a long way to go to become a great volcano-erupt-master like her parents. That’s right, Fiamma’s job is making a volcano erupts. It is necessary to make a volcano erupts so that the volcano wouldn’t get overheated and blasted the entire world to an end. It has happened once, her parents had told her one day, and the world has changed from its previous full-of-dinosaurs state.

She isn’t too bad in making a volcano erupts, but her parents still need a better improvement for the magma from the volcano she erupted has always ‘not hot enough’ to burn the entire skin of the volcano. Timing is everything, they always say.

The family lives in one of the volcanoes on the west side. She loves fire and she often bathes in the magma for the whole day when she had no job to do. Her parents had scolded her for the splashes she had made unconsciously had splattered throughout the whole bathroom and broke several mirrors her mom loves so much to see her reflection after bath.

Fire cats eat rocks. They are hard enough to sharpen their fangs and had enough mineral and energy needed for their body. Fiamma’s favorite was the ones freshly baked by a volcano eruption. They’re more crunchy, warm, and delicious than ordinary rocks. Of course, her mom could always bake them in their magma kitchen, but still, they’re not the same.

The baby fire cat had learned how to fly a few years ago. Her father had explained some scientific stuff about fire, gas, floating, flying, and other stuff she doesn’t really understand. Her body is a flaming fire, she remembers her dad told her, control the outcome of gasses and she’ll be able to fly. He had her burning her body off from the study process, but it was worth it. She loves flying. Her parents had finally given her permission to wander around their volcano – not too far, of course, and she had to gone back before dinner. Fiamma likes watching other creatures from above. It’s funny to watch them interact with each other.

Fire cats are solitary creatures. They won’t interact with other creatures unless they really need to. Other creatures are actually afraid of their flames which might burn them alive when they get too close. One type of creatures that doesn’t afraid is the water type. But they also live in solitude, so Fiamma doesn’t see them often.

She hates water. She absolutely loathes water. It is blue, cold, and on top of it, it can kill fire. It is everything opposite of fire, which is red, hot, and burning. Her parents had warned her to stay away from all water-related – as if she would go near them – for the water can kill her flame and make her dying.

Fiamma has a horn. It is the red, sharp, pointed thing on her forehead. Her dad had taught her to use it for her self-defense against other threatening creature, but she rarely uses it. Her horn is scratchy and it needs to be sharpened every week. The same with her tail – which is made from the same material as her horn – though the tail can be wagged, like a dog.

Illustration for a Magazine Article

I was experimenting with other style, which is messy, has watercolor effects, and magazine-style illustration. I don't have a pen tablet, though, so this is created with a mouse in Adobe Illustrator.

The illustration is for an article about writing a book out of your imagination and the readers around who support and enjoy the book.

Writing out of your Imagination for the Readers to always support and enjoy it Pamz

I can't say many people will like it because well, it's messy, but I love messy things! They are what art is about. Finding the beauty in various things :)

All it takes is Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust

A typography poster with a quote from my favorite childhood movie 'Peter Pan'~

All it takes is Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust Pamz typography poster Peter Pan
All it takes is Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
‘All it takes is FAITH, Trust, & Pixie Dust’

This sentence is taken from the movie ‘Peter Pan’ which is an encouragement sentence for the Darling’s children to be able to fly.

The magical and fairytale feeling is shown through the neon-like glow of the text and stars.

Since in ‘Peter Pan’ the children fly to ‘the second star to the right’, I add two stars in the upper right corner and I choose a background that shows the starry night sky.

“FAITH’ is written like that because faith is something strong, bold, and unwavering.

‘Trust’ is written like that because trust is a feeling that will come in wavy times, when people is unsure of themselves and will start believing.

‘Pixie Dust’ is something magical that comes from pixies (or fairies). I add some shines to show the glittering dust. The glow is also a little different from the others. This one is more scattered, like dust, not smooth glow.

‘All it takes is’ and ‘&’ is written in latin text as they have less importance than the other three, yet needed in the sentence. As this is a magical sentence, latin text will do better than separated-letters text.

Do you remember the time when we dream to fly up to the second star to the right?
