I will be keeping the same background images throught all 5 pages of the website, these are two of the ideas for the biography and the gallery. The Biography will just be put together in Dreamweaver but the gallery i plan to do as one of my flash elements. Along the bottom is a thumbnail film strip where there are 6 diferent topics to choose to view:
These are some of the symbols that i will put on the desk for the user to click on, I put these together in photoshop but will import them to flash to experiment with the text and making teh images bigger when the mouse goes over it.
I have decided to change my design so it is of an artist looking at their desk. I prefer the older looking desk to the grey one. I have decided that as the mouse hovers over the different topics the poloriod/journal/photoframe will get bigger so the user knows to click on it. This will be done in flash.
This idea, when the mouse hovers over the text for, biography, contact, photography and journal the text will change colour or light up to become more obvious. My idea with this design was to give the user a taster of what Victorias work is like from a range of different project she has done.
I prefer this idea as from looking at existing photographer and artists websites they are not too complicated as it would take the attention away from the work. This idea is that the image in the middle will be changing through about 5 different images, probably all connected from the same project. The text, similarly to the first idea will light up in a different colour when the mouse is hovered over it.
