Web Design

100% Flash Sites:

Go To Helenae.com Main Page

Helenae.com

-this personal site was originally begun in 2000 to show my photo-editing images over a decade ago, when flash programming was very new and very unwieldy.

It was completed in 2002 and last updated in 2004. It's interesting to see how tastes and Flash itself has changed over the years.

__________________________________________________

I thought it might be interesting to show you part of the agony of designing a webpage Theme. While this layout looks simple enough, it was the culmination of many rejected concepts.

When designing a website that basically showcases your own work, the sky is the limit when it comes to design. Very simple? No, because frankly, I find that boring, and if this is a 'portfolio' site, I want some of my personality to show. Very artistic? No, because not everyone has the same taste in art.

To give you an idea of how much work can go into rejected ideas, I thought I'd post 3 of the reject themes I created for this website, all of which involved a tremendous amount of time, but which would not work for various reasons. Many more 1 page concepts were rejected than shown. I think they are interesting to look at, so I'm including them in the links below.

Every single graphical image was created by me. There are no examples of stock photography in either of the below links. Where there are photos, they are my personal photos taken from my camera (that's my iguana, and my cat).
