A Contemporary Web Design for a Dental Clinic

Image
This is the web I am designing for a F.W. Guico Ortho-Dental Clinic  . I made the layout a bit away from the traditional web design. You may call it modern or contemporary. Common web designs place the navigations horizontally on top or vertically in the sidebar. The main image is usually a horizontal rectangle that occupies the width of the page. The logo is usually placed in the upper left-hand corner. Most medical sites use shades of blue. For this non-traditional design, I placed the navigation in the upper left-hand corner and the main image on the right and top third.

Welcome to my Design Blog

I'm a self-learned freelance graphic designer. I design web sites,  brochures, business cards, fliers, posters, tarpaulin banners, pamphlets, e-zines, e-books, CD kiosk, logos, stationery, wedding albums, CD covers, portfolio, catalogues, invitations, and a bit more perhaps so long as it uses graphic design. I can also do photo fantasy and photo editing. I am not an artist. I cannot draw freehand. In order to design, I need tools like Adobe Photoshop.  I learned how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver and other applications by simply exploring the software and reading manuals and help utilities. To improve my skills, I learn from other artists' tutorials available free on the Internet. Thanks to them. One of my favorites is Just Creative Design by Jacob Cass.
