I had intended to include a first image of the redesigned liamcroft.co.uk today, however, as ever with these things, it has taken a back seat to every day life and so it isn't anywhere near complete as yet.
What I do have instead is a couple of explanatory images of what I am aiming for...
// 26 January 2012 //
// Website Sketch //
As you can (probably) see, I am going to use a single image as the basis for the homepage. This will be of a chest of drawers with various items placed around it. Each of these items will act as a link to a different part of the website.
I intend to include a clock for 3D_SURD, items which could be bought, but also showing the physical objects created for sale, a noticeboard for RSS blog feeds from this blog and Tentative Grounds, and/or a calender to represent a blog, with a photo frame for Image-A-Day. There will be a card on the chest of drawers which will also link to 3D_SURD, however to a space for Zena Motashar's cards, a portfolio for my portfolio of work, and finally, a box, books and a University certificate. These will be outside links, and a link to information and CV, as well as downloads.
The next image shows my initial attempt.

On a totally different vein; this is a laser cut image on the front cover of a writing pad my Mum bought for me in Kuala Lumpur. I love the sketchy quality and fine detail that has been achieved. Seems a very simple idea if you have an image you would like on the front of a book, etc. (and have access to a laser cutter!)

// Kuala Lumpur Skyline by Arch //
Liverpool, January. Blue Sky. They said it would never happen (it's raining again as I write this so they aren't far wrong!) Highlighting the complexity of some buildings that are continually altered and changed. The whole row of buildings was like this, or to an even greater extent, however, I love how the colours work against the bright sky.
