project 4 web page

For my website design I began by researching other artist’s websites and portfolio pages.  I looked at the layout as well as use of colors and design aspects.  My immediate approach was choosing the artwork I wanted to display on my home page.  Some of my favorite works consists of close up drawings of body parts and facial features.  Once I brought them into Photoshop I chose a monotone color for each piece making sure you could still tell that they were done simply in pencil.  I then brought in chunky black shapes to weigh down the background and placed an image behind that.  The image I chose is a picture I took of my friend’s band.  Although this has nothing to do with my artwork I used it because it’s cropped to show body parts in motion.  I also made this image monotone to match the rest.  For my portfolio page I used the same layout and color palette.  This page features more of my work as icons that you can scroll through.
