New Site Finished
I spent Sunday morning rolling around on various London pavements with a camera. My girlfriend is a very talented writer, and I’ve been meaning to put together a site to support her work for some time. I had a few ideas about how the design could develop, so we packed up a bag of suitable shoes for modelling and took to the streets of London.
Unfortunately the kind of shots I was after involved being at ground level, which got a few odd glances. The main image we ended up using was taken lying on the concrete in the middle of the road (Lower Regent Street) looking up towards Picadilly Circus. I was happily surprised how much fun it is to run around London behaving strangely.
Having returned home with an array of design fodder, I spent a few hours coming up with the visual design incorporating the photos from the earlier session. Eager to keep up the momentum I spent the evening building the site which went public around 1:00.
The results can be seen at kimelliott.net. I love how it feels to start from nothing and finish a design just based on materials you make yourself. I’ll definately try to work this way in the future.
I love the site. I can’t believe how quickly you did it. You’re like a technical wizard.

OK, enough now! I want to remain humble and quiet rather than smug
