LiveTalent

Web Designer, Brand Consultant

LiveTalent is a Vancouver-based startup company that focused on connecting businesses with local digital marketers. The company had a pre-exisiting website that was very generic and it needed to be revamped. In addition, upon agreeing with co-founders, it needed to be re-branded and have a better visual identity. As part of the creative team, I conceptualized and designed website to reflect rebranding.Unfortunately, the company no longer exists.

Reflection

Volunteering at LiveTalent gave me the opportunity to lead another designer and work with a real client. I was able to express my professional opinion and to show why I think this work for the company. The CEOs wanted the website to be in shades of blue which we did initially but once it was coded we realized that the website lost its liveness and therefore, we had to add another colour. The CEOs were reluctant but we were able to convince them because we believed in our design. I was also able to take criticism and implement it.
