I have been completely neglecting to actually work on my website, but I have been thinking a lot about how I can improve it and make it interesting while including or linking to all of my other work. I really like the way Audrey has set up her Myspace as a sort of digital corkboard so I started to think about ways I could make my website more interesting by including lots of visual elements in the navigation.
One idea was to set it up to look like a journal, and have things like work info, education history, blog links, other links, etc on separate pages. That way I could have an interesting Home page that I would set up to be the 'cover', and link it so that you could click on it to open the next page, which would continue throughout to give it a linear feel.
My other idea was to set it up as a computer desktop, and create my own images in Photoshop and Illustrator to use as icons that will link to the other pages. I think I am going to go with this idea, as it has more relevance, and will make more sense when it comes to putting in links and including videos. My only problem was that maybe it would be a bit lame to have a computer within a computer but I guess I will try it and see whether it works or not.
