I've just moved passed second level menu's on my website design and graphics... and I think I may have to take a step back- hopefully not a few.
I made two sections, partially obvious through separate but related titles and seamless artwork.
'Nightmares' contains dark, violent and provocative imagery and prose.
'Daydreams' explores shades of grey, but never strays into the light.
I created my first site in 1998; and it had to be black background with artful design and no concept of web navigation or coding.
It's second major surgery saw the removal of 'sketches' and random drawings or no import. The background became white and with this 'enlightenment' I set out to learn about design, and second stage web programming including hyperlinks' properties, and simple frames. Whatever basic knowledge I could glean was forefront.
This time site is going through a metamorphosis. This new home reflects the level of dedication that I wish to portray- it is a portfolio of my current level of skill and interests.
The aesthetics and navigation of the site are improving as each little piece is reinvented into something unrecognizable from it's former self. This makes me take a step back as I review content and graphics to see if I am satisfied, and I find I am not.
There is old content that although I am proud of, the prose is elegant but it is youthful- full of love and anger from one that hadn't tasted either fruit.
