So my first real foray into web design is to design and build my boyfriend’s personal and business websites. Both are on EnigmaNostra.net, meaning I need a splash page from which people can choose which to go to. He wants a sci-fi, techy feel for the personal side and a more gritty, battle-worn mechanical/techy feel for the business side. I started with the personal side, since I know how to design that kind of layout better. For the business side I need to use his web-host’s store manager thingy and I know nothing about it so I’m putting it off.
Anyway, with much implementation of tutorials – everlasting love to those who put their nifty photoshop tuts online, btw, thank you all – and experimenting with filters and layer styles and other assorted shiny things, I have put together a mock-up of what the layout will be for most pages on the personal side. What do you think, Internet?
