These are some more layouts i have considered for my website, i don't think any are as strong as the above. The best things about these designs are that they are very easy to understand, a cleaner design but very basic. 

 

My new website identity logo.

This is one of the logos i have desinged for the website i will sortly be creating. I have come up with this layout idea for my home page through extensive research, looking at use of space and typography. When i was thinking up my home page i knew one thing that i didn't want a normal boring layout, with options on the left side and a picture in the middle changing depending on the option you click on. I found an image online with the same layout as what i have created here, i decided to make my own version. I have based all the words round my new logo, all the black, bold words around the logo are options that are linked to other pages these pages show the what the option is called. I wanted to bring a personal touch to the website so i included the smaller purple words that name a few favourite things i like. I am not sure yet if these purple words could be links but i am currently thinking it would make the site to busy.

These are some testers for logos that represent me as a designer and my name. I have chosen a graohic, bold design because they are the most effective and people remember them more. Purple is going to be a running theme through my website as i like the colour and iv asked close friends and family the question 'what colour would suit me' nearly all said either purple.
