For the portfolio home page project, I decided to keep the navigation and composition very simple and clean. I used a neutral textured paper background because I wanted the artwork to immediately be the focus once viewers landed on the home page. If I had more time, I would have liked to experiment more with the text and logo, but overall, I am happy with the result. I used the stroke effect with varying opacity to give the logo and navigation bar more prominence. I copied certain elements as a black shape, and then applied Gaussian blur and placed it behind the original object to add depth. These effects are subtle, but - I believe - add important detail. The thumbnails are meant to be on a "carousel" that scrolls through the images and enlarges the front image, while the next and prior images have lower opacity and fade a bit into the background. I did not use a home button on the navigation; clicking the logo will bring you back to the home page from other areas of the site.
