I had to do a book cover for my typography class the other day. I found some new brushes for Photoshop, so I used them on the design. I’m kind of happy with it, though it still feels too symmetrical to me.

Here is a link to the design: Book Cover

So I started working on a concept for the new Priority web site today. I ended up going in a different direction then I originally planned, but I like it so far. I originally intended to do a more flexible design, but this came to me in a dream last night (quite literally) and I needed to give it a try. You can click the “P” logo to see the design. The yellowish screen thing at the top with the logo in upper left hand corner will have some flash animations in it, probably a different one for every page eventually. The flash could also help to present things like sermons or videos from different events. Basically the flash part of the site will serve to present different types of media so it really will have a practical side to it. The general navigation will be on that brick tower thing out the left hand side. Though I expect there will be secondary navigation for more specific parts of the site. The lower white box will house the main, text base content. I realize that I need to resize some things and make sure it works in smaller windows, and that will be done. But for now I figured I would get some critiques. If you have any questions as to how parts will function or whatever, let me know. I look forward to some good suggestions.

You know, I find that I get tired of site design very quickly. And I feel that the time has come for the company site to be refurbished. Ive been playing around with some ideas. You can view them below, each links to a bigger picture.

I feel like the first one is just to… dirty looking. I like the second one but to be honest the conept is not mine. John Hicks I basically liked his concept a lot because of how simple it was. Easy to navigate. Alas I wouldn’t feel right about using it. I would feel like a second rate designer if I used someone elses concept. So I shall keep working on, but I wanted to share. Comments and suggestions are by all means welcome. PLEASE, GIVE ME YOUR IDEAS!!!
