DA: Summer Concept Work Con't: Internship

  This summer I had the great privilege of interning at the London office of Albourne Partners Ltd., a hedge fund advisory group. I was tasked with redesigning their iconic Village, a unique website idea which sets Albourne up as a quaint English village complete with their mayor, Sam. The site layout had remained approximately the same for the last ten years, so it seemed about time for a bit of a makeover.
  Of course, getting the right shape down and keeping the same iconic feel of a village was an interesting challenge. I researched and documented as many village buildings as I could and tried to stick with a colour scheme that was rustic. Here's the creation process behind the village pub, the Bridge Inn:


  In the end I drew about 17 or so buildings to put together on the final village map.
  I had a great time working with Albourne, and I can't wait to see what the final website will look like when it goes up! I learned a lot about working in a serious business environment, and about working on a time sensitive project.
