As the more keen eyed amongst you may have noticed, I had placed a web address at the end of my showreel. As my showreel was nearing completion I thought of including a web address as it would look right and be a good way to promote a website. I then thought to search domain names and see what was available. I used One to search and find www.danielmole.co.uk. I thought I should purchase it now to ensure it's validity when posted at the end of my showreel.
It only cost roughly £10 and was pretty much a no brainer. With the web address sitting there paid for and the showreel complete I decided I might as well start to code a website. I began by looking on Behance for inspiration and stumbled across a post about a website in production for an architectural company called Anker:
The design of the site was beautiful. Sleek, modern, subdued, elegant, delicate. It really inspired me and drove me to want to create something in a similar style. The logo I have previously showcased derived from seeing this website. So I layer out a colour scheme very similar to the Anker colour scheme however, I wanted to add another, brighter more vibrant colour as a tool to highlight, separate and add interest. I decided on a soft red as it was engaging and bright and yet still quite fitting and subdued. I'm not sure what it was about it. It just fit. It was bright and vivid without being distracting or looking out of place.
And so after a bit of tinkering and a custom thumbnail on YouTube this is what I ended up with:
The themes prevalent in the Anker can be seen in the page I have created. However, you can see the use of the colour red just to add a little bit of flair and intrigue. I will review the site further as it approaches completion however, I am very excited about how it is progressing so far.
