Embrace Change

 See my inspiration board on pinterest

I have been working on a retro one page design for my portfolio but I just can not get the design to be what I want. I have decided to change my idea. I am going with more of a western design. Using my last name as inspiration. The website will still be a one page design with a horizontal scroll. Still working on ideas for navigation, how to present portfolio images, and footer
Here is a rough idea of what I am thinking about doing. I know sizing is all wrong just wanted to get some ideas down:


And after some more work on this site. Here is another rough draft of my portfolio site again changing my mind about things. I have gone back to a vertical scroll. The navigation on the left is fixed. An example of what I am thinking about for scroll effect is here. I haven't written content or really decided what images I will use for my portfolio:

I love this one page design! Its funner to scroll and not use navigation.
