. Concept Statement:
The website will be bold yet classy at the same time, and the users who will venture through my portfolio website will find themselves feel welcome and feel like their at home with the ease of navigating through my website won't require them having any seconds of thought, yet its intuitive and instinctive to them as to where they would like to go to next, its so easy its like opening a door. As simple as navigating there will be some flare added to it such as the color scheme, to make it look enticing and welcoming. Also with CSS3 transition coding, there will be a good amount of interactivity like roll overs or image slideshows so the user wouldn't get so bored to stare at a still screen this especially applies to audiences with short attention span. As flashy as it sounds, it will be more subtle and not cause too much distraction from the content that will interrupt users from reading something. Hopefully presenting the assets I have within my art works and designs will not only impress the users but perhaps inspire them into this field/hobby/lifestyle.
