The purpose of Jacqueline Careys website is to introduce the world to the author and her books. Her audience includes young adults and sci-fi fans of all adult ages.

We wanted to change the website and give it a simple yet elegant look that .

We liked her logo and how her name was designed, we just didn’t like the color which was brown, so we decided to change it to a crimson red to give the site a bold dynamic look.

Our original wire frame pictured here, was going to be a play off what she had , with as you can see a black and gray background, which was to highlight the logo and her name.

The object was to go the opposite of what she did color wise and accentuate what she already had but we scratched that once we saw that it was too similar to what she had hierarchy and navigation wise.

After changes direction from an all black background we went to white but kept the crimson because we felt this would highlight the logo and name but keep the elegant and adult theme we wanted the site to have.

Simplifying it further we came up with this as our wire frame.

Ultimately, we ended up with this. A highlight of the name minus the logo. With a picture of her latest book. The navigation is below the pictures of the book along with the copyright information.

We felt the navigation was simple to use with links to her books, bio info, other links, her gallery, her faq page as well as her journey so that she kept the integrity of her site, but with a clean unencumbered aesthetically pleasing view.
