The layout remains

Sorry for the lack of blogage. If I am totally honest I've had the world's most muffed up sleeping pattern of late so I've been awake during the night and sleeping in the day. Night work would be a cinch, but daytime normalities has kinda gone haywire.

Anyway, with my PPD I should start sooner rather than later as I've left it long enough.

In my last blog I showed the world the layout I was going for. After looking at many websites I still want to keep the design I have. But I want to make it flow between sections. One big turn-off I have noticed is website were they mix the theme up and it looks a bit cack. I want to keep one theme throughout and each section mingles just as well with the next.

So some ideas I have been floating around in my head is a shelf. Each shelf contains different items in my website, picture frames for pictures, a small screen or digital picture frame for videos, and the likes. Another idea is something to do with a computer and a desk, another was a fridge with bits being held on with magnets and so on.

I've not got any doodles for these ideas, unless I really like an idea I wont sketch it down. I like sketching websites, lets me see how it could possibly look when done. If I start to photoshop it I get too over my head and do things wrong.

I think one thing I have come across that I like is of a floor/road/pavement. There are lots of elements you see on the road which can work well together. IE, a street artist can draw pictures in the floor with chalk, this can be my pictures section, and so on. It sounds better in my head.

I've also though of an idea for my showreel. Inspired by a random video I was linked too on vimeo. Wether or not he intended this... his end credits with his name, contact information and stuff like that, all ended up looking like a business card. Although, his was just White text on a Black background, I had an idea to have my business card build itself in the viddeo a bit like how the logo in Crash Bandicoot 3 is made.

I shall show you:



The end of this video to me looks like a business card.



0:33 seconds in. The logo is compiled.

So, bringing them together, I should in theory be able to nail 2 birds with one stone. Both my business card and finish off my video.

Just an idea.
