Assets Folder

Since my hard drive was not compatible with a MAC I have posted all of my documents that were required for each of the Assets Folders into a public folder on dropbox.com 

We spoke briefly about this in a previous class and I have shared that folder with you in a previous e-mail.

Site Analysis 3

1. http://lanasworkandinspiration.wordpress.com/

This site is made on word press but certain elements on this page inspired me to incorporate the same characteristics into mine. Such as a bold line on the top while keeping my white background. Also the headline of the site is a short personal description for example: "portfolio of". Something I would like to put on mine to describe myself.

2. http://theabaagency.com/

This site has a slide show. I would like to make a slide show of my events and PR work. As of now my first page is only my logo with a button to enter. I have not decided whether to put this slide show on my home page or on my about me section. I am leaning more towards about me as this will create a more personalized aesthetic, which my site is lacking at the moment.

3. http://www.rich-pr.com/#!about

I enjoy how all of the colors are cohesive on the site, event the Linkden button. This is something I want my site to have. I found it interesting it had a tab called "the menu" Describing the services offered in detailed bullets. I am not sure if my site would benefit from this as I am going for the less is more approach to create a clean feel. But I really want a subtle edge that pops. Maybe I could use this element to create my own style for presentation.

Final Logo Choice

The logo actually has a white background but for some reason doesn't show up on this site.
