Layout Designs

When it comes to digital art, i have always really preferred an abstract approach or designs that are abstract regarding the layout and other elements used.

I find them very confronting, fresh, interesting and overall unique.

For my website i first wanted to create a abstract layout that was unsual yet seemed to be normal.

This was a hard task to perform and can be hard to imagine without knowing what i am thinking.

Below are my first draft proposals for my layout.

The idea behind this layout is to have each section slide out from its corresponding link and push the main layout which states welcome in the opposite direction.

My only real problem with the layout is the actual look of the layout.

It does have a nice abstract feel yet there are small elements clashing like the use of wide stripes and the overlay texture.

I decided to go back to the drawing board and create a background first then build apon it.

Here is my latest design.

This layout seems to work better for the time being and i do prefer how this looks and feels.

In my previous layout, one of the main problems i had was how the main section of the interface did not stand out very well from the background.

This time around i have choosen to use a strong black over a subtle background to being the foreground to the main focus yet still kept the overall feel some what abstract.
