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?
