My comps

My comps progressed smoothly.  From a technical point of view, I sketched them on paper, designed them in Illustrator, tweaked them in Photoshop, and saved them as PDFs.  Creatively, I followed the same basic pattern for all three home page designs.  Using geometric patterns, I created one large picture box, and several smaller decorative ones.  My backgrounds are all clean and simple, as are the navigation links.  For the “about me” pages, I coordinated each one to its respective home page design.  I kept the same basic framefork and covered the sample images with text.  As far as color schemes, I stuck with neutral greens and oranges.  I want the site design and colors to be rather simple and muted, to let the indiviual pieces stand out more.  After all, that’s what should define a graphic designer’s portfolio site.
