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:

Websites for inspiration:

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

TV Lorem Ipsum

Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-team.

Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic!

Crushing Crumbs
To make fine crumbs, break the graham crackers into small pieces. Put them, a small batch at a time, in a Ziploc bag and roll over them with a rolling pin. You can also grind them in a food processor.
What to do with leftover cheesecake mix.
If you have excess batter that cannot be poured into the pan do not eat it raw remember those uncooked eggs! Instead try making mini cheesecakes. Take paper muffin cups, put a vanilla wafer in the bottom, and then pour your leftover mixture into the cups.
