Colour gradient on this logo: Would pair well with white background and grey accents.

The background and "code" style font from this site:

I like the idea of doing a code-style monospaced font

Landing page text can be animated like so:

This guy's landing page, particularly how the image / text / nav bar are animated.

Simple example of scrolling single page website. My nav bar elements modelled off his as well.

• single page website with scroll, so that when you click an element on the nav bar it just scrolls down (second website above scroll example)
• the idea is that it is basically an animated, extended resume, with similar sections to my resume
• thinking either white background with accents like colour schemes above, or something more creative like fairlay.com, where the background stays static and content scrolls on top of it, like what I did with deaf-fire-art.ca
• nav bar on top instead of side like my current website
• each project will have a description similar to current website's individual project descriptions (styling sucks)
  • maybe there is a better way to do this

navbar elements:

• about
• projects (drop down menu like fairlay.com)
• experience (job description)
• skills (like Andrew Borstein's website)
• articles
• contact
• resume (hard link to pdf)

Not sure what to do about the project page. Each project description could be part of scroll, or it can be its own 'sub-page' like my current website.

Complex background will require simple features. Undecided on which to choose.

If I use a single colour as a background, I can have more interesting features like gradient buttons:

How to include my picture on the landing page without it looking corny?

How to handle short page sections - see current website's stupid sections that are just icons.

See current website's project page here

This looks horrible, but what's the solution to overlaying a video / text / more images on top of a complex background without resorting to something really ugly like this white box? If I use a white background, it's easy to just fill in text wherever I need it.

Currently I have a description + video (see current website project descriptions) but I kind of hate it. Is there some other way? Just linking to the website doesn't tell the whole story.

Display font vs content fonts?
