I thought it might be interesting to post up a few of the raw photos from the shoot on Sunday to compare to the finished site design. In particular this is the original image that was used for the site header before mucking about with it and getting the crayons out. As before, you can check out the finished design at kimelliott.net

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.
