Design Specs




Fonts:
Header/Logo Das Reicht Gut Regular
Navigation: TscichLightFS
Body: Verdana

Main background: A light almost electric blue was chosen for the main background because it makes my work stand out. I could have gone for a more desaturated look but I felt it was too dull and since most of my work is vivid it would not reflect it. I also used a radial gradient to give the feeling of space and to tie the viewer into the focus.

Navigation bar: A white curve breaks up the background from the navigation segment. I chose high contrast black background with white text. The background is not completely black because I put a very slight gradient so it would match the blue portion.

Schematics






I uploaded the home page with a possible background choice as well as updated fonts. Photoshop is giving me an error when I change the fonts for the other ones so the rest are uploaded with a random font.

Caption



This is a piece I designed last year for the Kidsbridge Tolerance Museum. It reads, "Coming together with what sets us apart." I felt the slogan I came up with was more effective then their previous one, "Spanning differences, reaching harmony." It has a feeling of acceptance rather then tolerance. The smaller stars coming together to make a larger star represent each child as an individual coming together as one and being accepted for what makes them unique. The stars were rendered in Maya and the text was done with Photoshop.

I was working on my resume and changed my mind about what font family I wanted to use so I started searching for new ones and in my search a new idea for my logo came to me. Unfortunately I am exhausted and I don't think I can work much longer. I will remake the logo and post it on my resume along with my new font family tomorrow.
