Portfolio - Starting From Scratch

Started playing with stuff on screen, moving shapes around, testing layouts and what not. From the many examples I looked at, I found the most effective ones had deceivingly simple layouts, as often it was the images that added the extra level of complexity, so I'll worry about that later and keep it simple for now. So at this point, I don't want to over complicate things.

Colour was a strong factor too, when used correctly, and I noticed how efficient it looked when designers colour co-ordinated their pages for different things, something I think I might do too. Also, it's not yet time to worry about how much work I'm actually going to include in my portfolio, at this point I just want to get a basic layout down, and take it from there.

Messing around with InDesign, Photoshop and a few sketches, I came up with the following VERY BASIC page layout, which is BY NO MEANS my finished design, just something that illustrates my first ideas, and literally gets SOMETHING down on page to play with and build upon...

Hell, it's a start at least...
