and now, a brief intermission.

I guess I should have spread around the comment-love last week if I wanted to hear any feedback on these entries. Either that or we're all kind of brain-dead from midterms, which is highly likely. Leigh tells me it was sort-of received well in class last week, so maybe I'll allow myself a small sigh of relief.

Anyway, I'll freely admit that I'm hesitant to commit to a design right now on my own. Just sort of sitting on my hands. In the interest of getting to a place where I can deconstruct the art for building in Dreamweaver, however, I'll be working on the visuals shown in images B through E below. Some issues that I would like to address are:

Maybe use the light pen typography as a framing motif for other elements

Increase the masthead size to better span the page

Contain photography to a predefined area within the page instead of filling the left-third.

Refining the second-tier navigation (somewhat of a problem, but on a mini-site I guess it's not so bad?)

Better sense of hierarchy. Everything is big and "yelling" on the page right now. Gotta rein that in.


If anybody wants to reach me, I'll be sitting here, half-awake, procrastinating by doing excessive thumbnail sketching. I'm giving myself forty-five minutes to get it out of my system. See y'all tonight, and good luck.
