Concept Statement:

I would like my nav to remain static at the top of my site. I plan on including Work, Contact, and Resume as my main sections; Work being the home page. I also want a start page that shows my logo for around three seconds before going to the Work/Home page.

I plan on using dark grays and maybe even some browns as the colors for my site. I’d also like to create a pattern for the background, something geometrical in two colors; shapes with outline and fill. Simple and clean.

The feel of my sight, and maybe my style, could be described as weathered, worn in but comfortable, like a good pair of shoes. Strong, metallic, aged. Value from age.

I am not sure what I want to do in my career. I am not even sure what I am good at yet. I feel unqualified to say, e.g., that I want to be an illustrator, when in fact I may be a bad one. I just know I am still honing my skills. For now, any job I could get would be a blessing.

I have a good logo project I did for Game Over Video Games that I will showcase. It includes some collateral pieces. I also want to include a card project I did early on in my career as a student. Other work will be put on the site as I find it and I deem it worthy.
