Home Page Development

ok, a lot of tweeking here and there has been done to get what I have at the moment, I have made the background darker with a nice texture, I have also included an image of myelf (which I hated doing) but I think it will enefit from having an image of me on there - makes it more personal.

I think I have an obsession with texture that is like old coffee stained paper - no idea why. I have included a box textured like this for my introduction to the site. At first it was too light so I darkened it down a bit to better suite the overall design of the page. I then wanted to write on it myself to keep it more personal but as my skills with the digital pen leave a lot to be desired (it looked like a 5 year old had wrote it) I opted to use the font that is in the header which will help keep a little consistancy.

I'm really liking it at the mo - what do you think?

Development of design

I have made the design darker and used a better texture - i'm linking it! Due to some feedback I was given i'm going to play around with the font of "web design" in the header.

My Portfolio Website

Its about time that I start to think about getting my own portfolio website up and running now that I have bought my own webspace (www.skirky.co.uk) and I am starting to produce work that I am happy to display online. I am starting to put together some designs for this. My first is concentrated around my favourite colour brown and other objects that I use when designing such as pencil and paper - keep it simple, keep it clean. I want to get across a kind of sketchy feel which displays my thought process and my design process.

This is what I have so far which I am really happy with. Hopefully this will develop onto even better design ideas for my website.

In this I am keeping a consistant colour (although I might still play around with the tone of that background brown) Within the header I have used my own hand to write my name instead of a font, which keeps it personal, on top of a graded image of one of my own paintings.
