Basically I want to add an accompanying image to each section, something that is both relevant to the portfolio, but done specific to it so it shows all the work I've put in, in a style that reflects what I can do, and also adds a little surprise, a little humour, a little unpredictability.
After making my sections then, which included 5 separate ones, the Intro, the About Me, the Previous Work, the Latest Work, and the Contact page, I thought about which images I could use to add life to them all individually.
The "Intro" image idea was easy, I thought of a guy begging for a job, with a sign maybe? "About Me", maybe a spotlight or mugshot perhaps? "Previous Work" could be something simple, like a guy holding a portfolio out or sat at a computer. "Recent Work" could be like a brainstorm or idea popping into my head. And "Contact Me" could be a guy holding a phone ready to be called.
The idea was to take photos of myself doing these things, then do something special with them. Having them all in the same style, and one that matches the theme of my portfolio would tie the whole thing together nicely I think.
Just for sheer design and layout purposes then, I found a few images online that were similar to what I was after, and stuck them into my basic working pages, acting as filler images until I took and manipulated my own photos...
