So I have started to try out different designs for my website. I'm working with Dreamweaver and Photoshop mainly and basing it on tables, with a menu at the top divided out as I said in a previous entry - main, projects, and contacts - and the content laid out below. I've found a font I really like on DaFont for the header called Handwriting; it reminds me of the paths and anchors that I have to use on my vector work. I have tried out a pale brown and dark red colour scheme that seems sort of inky and antiquated, inspired by The Decemberists' website which I think is beautiful.
The image I put between the main text and the head is a photo of me blended with some other photos, and then tinted the colour of the text. I kind of like it, but looking at it again I'm not sure what relevance it bears to the rest of my work.
Also, I like the colour scheme but because a lot of my work is clean, white, and digital-based, it seems rather odd to have a sort of old-fashioned style to display the work in. I think I may redesign this.
