Web Design Homepage Process

So i did 2 more versions of my homepage which are posted below.

Earlier in the week I was really diggin the second one but the more and more i look at these I think im going to be going with the first one. I think it's a cleaner design to have my name like that verses someone having to turn their head to read my name.  Also It gives me more space to give descriptions of my portfolio pieces in the interior pages.

Leave Behind!!!!

Hey guys! Just finished my leave behind...it will look much better once printed...My original idea for my cover was to do a cut out of my name but my cricut machine doesn't really like smaller fonts as much and since that burgundy really popped on my metallic paper i figured i would just carry that through to my leave behind as well...Before printing all 6 of these at the very end of the semester i will be going back in and changing the updates that im making to my portfolio...I haven't finished my calendar or CD yet so those will be updated but for now here are the spreads for my leave behind! Enjoy! Comments Appreciated!!

Interior templates for Portfolio page

I really like the idea of playing with the grid...the navigation will take you to a gridded page of whatever category the pieces fall under and they also have the option of viewing all my portfolio pieces in a grid showing all at once.  For instance if they click on print it will take you to a grid of all my print pieces and then from there when they click on say for instance my CD then it will take you to a page that has images of my CD along with a description of this particular piece.  Also when they "roll over" the category print i will have the type change to the burgundy color that im using throughout my portfolio.  So far im really excited where this is going and look forward to continuing to work on this :)

portfolio website updates for homepage

absolutely hate this version...but thought i would post it to show something different

So I've tried to play around with a few things between these designs...ive played around with making a "grid of portfolio pieces" to stand as a homepage image...not sure yet if i would want these to be clicked on to take you to the actual portfolio piece or to stand as basically a preview to my portfolio...Ive also played around with my welcome message slightly...ive changed the "hire me" to tie in the same font that my autograph is in....it actually doesn't look as funky as it originally did...I also played around with the location of my welcome message and i really like the original placement of that welcome message...I also played around with my secondary navigation tabs slightly...I think im really digging have my secondary navigation in simply ALL Garamond...not the combo of Garamond and Windsong.  So far my top 3 are:   2nd one (once i change the secondary navigation to ALL Garamond),  The 4rth version, and 6th version. But comments are definitely appreciative!! That is all for the night!

Web Design_Portfolio_homepage sketches

Posted below are some initial ideas I have for my homepage.  I want to carry through the same color scheme that I'm carrying throughout my entire portfolio from my portfolio case, to my resume, to my leave behind, and now carried into my Portfolio site.  I'm also using the same type treatment with the signature of my name.  I want a very clean yet fun design for my portfolio site.  Comments are appreciated!
