Web Design Layouts

Coffee & Cookies website (Rapid Visualization) menu
WGD 205 (Advanced Design and Rapid Visualization) – Another assignment in the same vein as the above flyers was to design a website for the Coffee & Cookies chain.

The design utilizes layers, layer styles, guides, font effects, filter effects, and patterns.
