Web Design Forum: Evie Milo Portal Page - Web Design Forum

I've just done myself a wee portal page as my eviemilo.co.uk domain has had a holding page sitting gathering cyber dust for far too long. It's a page that links to everything that is Evie Milo online. Well just about everything, there are a few things I missed out as I couldn't get the words to fit.

I've been meaning to do this for ages, but just never got round to doing it as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do - whether it was going to be image led or text based or a mixture of the two. This is what I ended up with:



My two latest client projects have given me the inspiration for it - one with a font and the other with colours.

I found this font today and really liked it - it's called Sketch Block and thought I would use it to spell out the name 'Ali Maclaurin' for the blog I am going to be building her - she really liked it. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it too and that's when I decided to start playing with text and forgetting about images for my portal.

My other current client, Jill Calder, is an explosion of colour and it's been a real joy working with her illustrations and the lovely colour scheme we came up with for her site. So I decided to use lots of colour too and the final result is now live.
