Description

^ My reaction after finishing this piece I'm over the creative block and I finally managed to make a non-Web 2.0 layout!
I worked on this a few minutes today, last night and a few hours 2 days ago (when I started it) to be able to stay up until 3AM to see the US Open Ladies Final (And Kimmie won, so double WOOHOOoo)
The color scheme was the hardest part. It started beige, then i made it green, then hot pink, then dark purple, then dark gray (added B&W filter) then lowered the opacity of the B&W filter and I got this color.

The font I used is Myriad Pro (my all time favorite!), Icons are from at least 3 different packs (here are some of them):

Social Networking Icons - [link]
Flavour Icon Set - No Link

Stock images:

[link] by *Shoofly-Stock
[link] by ~zowawoom
[link] by ~rashell-stocks
[link] by ~FoxStox
[link] by ~H-D-STOCK
[link] , [link] and [link] by ~onixaStock

The leafs from the header are basic photoshop shapes.

There is no navigation because this is a simple 1-page photography portfolio. No big texts, everything on one page. Gallery, contact form, a little something about the artist.

I hope you enjoy it!
Comments and criticism are welcome!

Well it is not coded, so if you can code it or you know someone who can code it for you I will be happy to negotiate a price on it with you.
Send me a note.
Thank you!

This is magnificent. I've been looking for a perfect journal skin and I think I've found it. I would love to use this if I could figure how.

Nice, clean, simply and wonderful! Love it, although it seems to be a bit dark at some places. Especially if you sit in light rooms - like me!

And i know how it feels if you pick a certain color and end with a totally different one lol. But that's how creativity works

Great work hun!

What's corporate about it?

pseudoxiah In reply to VeraCotuna [2009-09-17 15:35:17 +0000 UTC]

The dark and sobre color scheme, the engraved font, the desaturated colors.
A more personal touch maybe?

VeraCotuna In reply to pseudoxiah [2009-09-17 15:59:08 +0000 UTC]

Well it's not so sobre... see the little ladybugs and butterfly? And the leafs... And I think dark and desaturated colors make photos stand out more. I don't know about the engraved text tho... I think it's cute But I think the bugs and the grass, those tiny details give it a personal touch.
When you say corporate I see web 2.0, a navigation menu, very formal speech (not "hello, my name is..."), and definitely no ladybugs and butterflies

Btw. i forgot to say that the text: "my name is .... "
i could make it in 2 lines not 3 .. then the viewer don't have to scroll too much to see the works. (i have a notebook and my res. is 1280 x 800 and i need to scroll a bit. Just a suggestion.

VeraCotuna In reply to wdart [2009-09-15 14:01:04 +0000 UTC]

My resolution is 1920x1200 and i tend to make everything too big I made it 1200px wide first but then resized it to 1100 because I know horizontal scrolling is annoying. I don't think there's a problem with vertical scrolling. On websites you usually have to scroll to see everything.
Anyways, thank you for the tips, again And the

wdart [2009-09-15 13:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Everything just perfect. Love the colors/icons/font/boxes. My opinion is that you could make the contact form to put it horizontal. I mean: the message box could be on the right side of the contact boxes (3 boxes) and move that all a bit to the center. And the disclaimer info you could smaller and make it wider.
But it's only my idea. for me
