NEW WEBSITE

So this website has taken me literally all these past 2 weeks to do, and then a whole day and half figuring how to get the damn thing on the internet, but it's done! hopefully the "LIVE" button will be pushed soon!

SO that was one MAMMOTH beast of a job editing all those damned images and i hop i never see them again. It took me SO DAMN LONG i'm seriously not impressed with it. So here are the finished pages, sack sticking each individual image up here.

It starts with a main work page, with square links to each subsequent piece of work's page...



And then these are the individual pages:

Now obviously i have to get my work online. going along with the whole sketch-book idea i want to try and get a ripped edge look to the images. I'm gonna have small preview squares of each image that will then expand out into full sized images.

The process will go thus:

- scan in torn pages
- adjust them to the right ratio of the sections they'll fill in dreamweaver
- delete the background
- copy the edge template
- paste on top of edited image of work
- inverse select and delete un-needed section
- make sure image size is right ratio
- save as .png so deleted background stays clear

That should then leave each image in the right format and scale to be inserted into the Dw template. Then i'll need to import all the original images into lightbox and with each edited image make a link between it and the original.

Easy as that...i think...

So i decided t go with the BOOM in your face idea, and so i did this awesome roll-over image and link. Gonna roll a similar thing across all the pages.



So this is my final first page:

After many tries and tests and experimetns with the size of the icons, this is my new first page. It lacks a bit of ooomph, and i think if i'm gonna keep this i either need to take away the writing or make it bolder, cos it just doesn't have any impact. It needs to be in your face or subtle with just the icons.
