First website design

Hi guys! Today I am going to talk about my first website design.  I designed this on Photoshop. 

Below is my website design:























I designed this on Photoshop. It was quite difficult to decide what photographs to include, but I finally decided to include a different variety of photographs.  For example, I added a few of my abstract images, some reflection photos and some nature ones.  In the corner of the frame I added a photo of me to make it more personal and to let the people viewing my website what I look like. 
It was difficult to think about fonts because there are some many good ones which will make my website stand out a lot and also I was looking for a creative font because my website is advertising photography so I want it to look funky.  In the end I used this font because it is very clear and also I used this font for my logo design so it would be good to use it again.


Photos I added to my website

Hi guys! So this blog entry is going to be about the photos that I have added to a series of my website designs.  I thought it would be interesting to add
 
 


This photograph is showing a sail from a boat, I took it using a GoPro.  It is showing all four of the elements (air, fire, earth and water) in one photograph.  I really like the curved effect on the frame, this creates a very abstract and unusual feel towards the photograph,  I really like it, sort of looks as if I used a 'fish eye' lens.

This photograph is showing a door full of rust.  In post-production I changed the image to black and white and increased the contrast.  This creates the rust on the door to stand out a lot more and it allows you see the rust more clearly.







 



I took this photograph a few years ago but it still is one of my favourite photographs I have took.  It is showing snow falling at a slow shutter speed. The photograph has a blue colouring to it because I took it near a street lamp so it caused the light to reflect onto the lens and the snow.



This photograph was also part of my AS Photography exam work.  It is showing a tree reflection on the river near where I live.  I changed this photograph to black and white and then increased the contrast.  The increase in contrast allows the tree's reflection stand out a lot due to it becoming darker.
