About Artistic
Design & Graphic Arts by Lorrilee
This website was developed originally as a
place to just share my artwork with other
artists and art lovers. The art is still here
in the 2 Art Galleries of Freehand Art and DigitalArt
and I have added a new section just for poetry.
However, from there it quickly progressed to include custom web graphic services and
shortly thereafter, my website design business. It had became quite apparent to me that
artistic ability and web site building were inseparable.
I realized after becoming more advanced in HTML and Flash that it had quite simply
become another artistic tool for me and that when I designed web pages I wasn't just
building websites anymore, I was actually creating works
of art. Almost anyone can build a website. It is really not difficult, especially with
the advancements in the HTML editors now available. Children under the age of 10 are
creating web pages (and some of them are even giving the seasoned web designer
quite a run for their money I might add). But, there is quite a lot more to just the
building of a web site. You not only need the technical expertise to successfully build a
sound working foundation, you also need the artistic vision to put it all together
in a creative, aesthetic and useful manner.
Even the most conservative of websites should and can be aesthetically pleasing to the eye
and there is a real art in creating a website that is technically sound, visually memorable
and rich in useful content.
