SPP3! Non-Standard Image Layouts

I have put together a few non standard page layouts for the catalogue design. It was chosen to do this as I wanted to include some images that would stand out within the catalogue so moving away from standard boxed layouts achieves this.

The first Image incorporates the idea of displaying portfolio work on a screen, discussed in the previous blog post. I like the way this design allows the work to be viewed in the same way as it would be online and also the incorporation of my laptop which this year has harldy left my side! The colours (due to the green laptop) ties the catalogue in with the branding colours of my blog and portfolio site. The downside to this design is that the images on the screen are quite small and therefore can be difficult to see.

This image was used as I wanted a way to show more than just one page of the site within the catalogue image. It works well and is a clean design however this does not work with all sites as some of the key design work can be hidden due to the overlapping.

The final image used the idea of the large image similar to that found when researching how portfolio sites display web work. The shape of the image is the city of Nottingham reflecting where I am currently based and where these designs and my development into a web designer has taken place. I chose the image of the grass and the sky and I wanted a way to symbolise how my front-end design and web development skills are separate and yet work together in my final design outcomes.
