Design Brief:
A brand new site for a new company offering painting fun to people of all ages. The design was to be smart yet colourful without being tacky. The colour was achieved by using vibrant paint splatters in a logo and a 2-tone colour across the site. A JavaScript control allows the user to change the 2-tone from a default blue to green or purple. Plenty of pictures are used sitewide to give it a friendly feel.
