My Website (PPD)

It has been a while since I even touched my website, so I felt that now is the time to have a bit of a re-design. I figured that there were two major flaws in my previous design for the website,
1. The website was more of a blog
2. The actual work was tucked away

Other problems I analyzed were that I had created a logo for myself, which even from the start was a bad idea. This gave a bad impression of me as a designer, trying to brand myself and create an identity without any real rationale behind the logo. Perhaps in the future when and if I have established myself in some way, it would be appropriate to apply something more excited. However for now, the work is the most important focal point and I wouldn't want to be judged on anything else. I decided this time to go with a single-page portfolio. I really want people to go on my website and see my work, and not be turned away by having to click another link that says 'work' or 'portfolio'. People are inherently lazy and are quick to turn away from a website if it means having to move the mouse, click, and wait for another page to load.

I've stuck with the Wordpress engine, it's not bad and I am trying to steer clear of jumping on the Indexhibit layout bandwagon. I've gone for simplicity both in type and layout.
I haven't finished putting my work up by any means, but the website is now very much underway (finally). Few grabs;
