We were asked to attach two template designs for our portfolio project this week. Attached you will find my two creations.
Template I
Template II
I find the layout of both templates to be quite simple. Template I has a linear/direct/orderly layout (for lack of better wording) and the color choices are bright & open; the colors provide a clean, inviting approach. Template II has more of circular layout (the eyes tend to move in a circular direction) and the color choices are dark and warm; both templates use the American Typewriter font – a look that I love.
I have decided to work with template I. The header will not include the colorful circles (this was an attempt @ coming up with a logo). Also, there will be no actual buttons; the links will change color on the rollover to indicate that they are active. Although I want an image of myself on the index page, I don’t think that I want to use that particular photograph. I am considering creating a collage of some sort.
My biggest challenge with the portfolio site will be to incorporate the CSS we have been learning thus far. In the past, I have integrated photoshop designs/layout into dreamweaver. It’s been an easy way to create a site but the code is much more helpful for when search engines look for meta tags and keywords…as well as, organization purposes.
Thank you to those who are taking the time to review and comment on my templates!
