I've just had a client meeting with Owen Baxter to show him my new mock-up designs.
My idea has been influenced by Origami Biro with their use of texture. My client liked the background with the interesting brush strokes and the interesting bits of rust scattered around. He could see the triangles represent his object oriented approach and the metronome.
Overall he was happy with the design and he thought it represented him and his work well.
I came up with two colour variations, one with a grainy brown texture and the other a sleek painted blue texture. He likes both and is going to consider which one he likes.
We compared this design to my first minimalist layout. I've tried to retain some of the simplicity from my previous design while livening it up with more interesting earthy tones.
In regards to the text he wants on the main page he’s unsure how much to put on because a scrollbar may breakup the design. I suggested that if he wished I could create a separate “about me” page that would elaborate further from the initial basic description of himself on the home page.
