Design Roughs, or "I really need a design icon"

Well, I'm still not disgusted by my site design idea, so as promised, here are samples of what it looks like. They're images - I'm still playing around in photoshop. Not willing to build out something I might scrap at any moment.

Please, please, critique away (this goes double for people who don't actually know what they're talking about, cause I figure you're my client-base. :P


( Cut for bein' FREAKIN' HYOOOGE! )

The only operating philosophy here is that the site design is totally secondary to the work on display. Nothing should compete with the portfolio pieces.

Oh, and happy Singles Awareness Day or Happy VD, as you choose!

Happy VD!

I'm disqualified from hosting a Singles Awareness Day party, my normal February 14 past time, and Erik isn't even here to DO anything with. To be fair, he did offer to break up with me noisily and messily in the airport (and get back together when he gets back) so that I could host the party while he was gone. So thoughtful! We decided not to, though, because it was late at night and there wasn't enough audience at the security line to make it worth the effort.

Still, even if he is far away, there's a lot to celebrate...
After today, the guy on capitol way selling gigantic vulgar cheap pink stuffed animals will be gone! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel!
