Portfolio Website

For my website, I decided to make it compliment my business card. I thought it would be a good idea to show how I could go from a business card to a website and have them look like one design suite. The first page is an introduction to the site, and it resembles the front of my business card. Once the person clicks on my logo, they enter my site. I wanted the main page to be fun and quirky. I also designed it around my word “eccentric”. The type on the website is slightly disorientated and has a mind of its own. I did not distort the words too much because I wanted them to still be legible. The site is also interactive, to help add to the playfulness. I took my logo, the bird, and made him do little interactions, such as “capturing” my design work. I connected the idea of capturing fish with my projects. For the portfolio page, I wanted to make it simple so my work stood out. I still kept with the interactive style, so my work dangles slightly on strings, which were hung from my bird. When someone clicks on a portfolio piece, the bird flies up to the string and cuts it off. The project then falls down and the description pops up for the viewer to read. In order to fly, the bird straps on leaves he collects from his environment. I did not want my bird to be believable, and I think I did a good job at this. I have never seen a bird made from scissors and an egg beater flying with leaves attached to his back. Have you?
