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.

Color Schemes and categories

I figured as far as my categories go I would like to use "3D Design, Graphic Design, About" with 3d and graphic design being more prominent. About would have a brief description about what I do as well as my resume and contact information.

I made a few color schemes in class and also tried them out on a design I had for my website.
(just a concept pretty sure I'm gonna scrap it and go for something more interesting)

Portfolio Work

I really think I can produce much better work now and that my portfolio can be greatly improved. With that said I think what I would like to include is my:

3D:
Graffiti image
AK model
"Jacked in the Box" stills
Zippo render
Drift Prod animation
Ipod Nano animation
Pontiac commercial

Graphic Design:
Kidsbridge poster
MCCC Visual Arts poster
Trail mix designs
THQ Annual Report designs
