Portfolio designs, cogs crankin
OK, so I dont know which direction I want to go with this. I had been working on the first design (I made the gist of a home pg and an about pg). The design is pretty cool. I used an painting of smashed bottles and house paint for my header and footer, then pulled colors from that to get the rest of the page.
I think this design works really well b/c I’ve outined the layout of the site and all seems to be fitting okay. Please let me know what you think:
- Home: http://bcts-potomac.aacc.edu/cat/cat06/final/home_comp.jpg
- About: http://bcts-potomac.aacc.edu/cat/cat06/final/about_comp.jpg
Then I had this ridiculous, crazy idea to take a painting I did and clip these evil ladies out to use for the main nav. The idea is as you rollover them, each one down the line will blow out a gust of wind saying “ABOUT”, “PORTFOLIO”,… the only thing is, this set up, the way it stands, is more of a splash page design. I cant do a splash page b/c it wont be read by the search engine ) : So, even though the idea is nice, the overall reality is it just wont be the better choice. You can take a look at my ideas though:

*(The way it was made was with each nav being a separate pg. I see no real need to fix this to the rollover statew/ all residing on the same pg as I probably wont do anything with this design …so to view it, just imagine that as you hover over a girl, she’ll blow out her cloud of nav to that pg.)
