Publishing my website
This is my completed showreel and website, showcasing all my work and highlighting my best work. I’m very happy with how it turned out, as it captures my style and the industry I want to enter. Initially, I created the TV with just a yellow background, but it felt incomplete and didn’t fully represent what my page offers.
I encountered some problems with my website, particularly with the size of my logo. It wasn’t large enough, and the blue background made it difficult to see. Unfortunately, my website didn’t offer an option to enlarge the logo. To solve this, I added a white shadow behind the logo, which significantly improved its visibility.
My first ideas:
This was me experimenting with colors. I didn’t like how they turned out because they were too vibrant, making the website feel overly busy. So, I opted for a more simplified look with a beige color, which I think helps the video on the TV stand out better.

I added a mixtape drawing as a button for my portfolio, but I found that the original button options provided by the website looked better. The mixtape became a button for my showreel, linked through YouTube. I thought this would be a better option, as it makes my showreel more accessible and clear for viewers to see.
This is the final background for my website. Since I specialize in background design, I wanted to feature this prominently on my main page to grab the viewers’ attention and showcase my expertise.
