For my final project, I will be designing a personal
portfolio home page. I sketched a number
of options for the layout and navigation below.
Some of the options include sliders, and some do not as I haven’t
decided yet whether to include this feature.
My plan is to create simple navigation, and create a clean background,
probably with light texture. When
viewing the web pages of various designers, I liked the ones that had a gallery
look – with a simple base - as I think it’s especially appropriate for a
designer’s website to have the artwork as the focus, and have the utilitarian
components be clear and stylish, but fade into the background. I have some experience in interior design, and
I personally find compositions that employ less in the way of color, but have plenty
of interesting texture, very visually appealing. I’m hoping to incorporate this concept in the
home page design, and have the art/thumbnails be the main focus. I’ve learned that I’m not as intuitive with
text as some other aspects of design, so it is actually going to be helpful to
me to only use the limited options outlined in the tutorial that work well for
web applications.
