Generally sites that I have designed have been really simple in the presentation and also in the construction. Mainly because I like a simple aesthetic… a clean presentation. I have also never used flash entirely for a site. Some CSS, html and a few flash experiments. Well, i am redoing my portfolio, on-line and also analog. I decided to try something different. This site is bound by borders, meaning that it is contained in a box with a defined amount of space for presentation. Something that I have never done for my ownself. The design is somewhat more complex with the use of darks and white and some color. I like having a navigation feature for links/buttons/information that will remain the same and never change - “permanent”. Then, I also like an area to show new projects, ideas, etc… but something simple. I do not want to get into a news section or anything like that. I am looking for critique on design, the style of locking up all the information vs a more open, white no borders site, size, color, etc. The use of flash in this case vs a css or html based site. I am planning on using some transitions and other motion based graphics… again, probably very simple, subtle and fast.
This is the quick, non-functioning site and layout. This is one page, the portfolio page.
