The first look of the new version was quite different from what you will see as a final version nine.
When I made the decision to upgrade, I already had in mind some of the elements to include or modify in the new design. When I am ready to create a new design for my portfolio I have a very strong feeling of creativity that lets me know I am ready for the changes. So I started to experiment with animations, layout, new logo concepts, typeface and more.
The first part of this post is all about tests and experiments – preparation for the new version. The final output of these tests and experiments, the contents - logo, typeface, colors, how to present the works on the portfolio page - looked like this:
At the same time, I have created an html version (see it here) of this design in progress to test animations and parallax effects I planned to use on the portfolio page, as well as other design aspects.
It is hard to say why I changed my mind and decided not to continue with this concept, but I am guessing that I felt like trying something more elegant and classic that will sell better :) I was in the middle of searching for a new employer.
Ah... I remember now: the main problem was actually the way I planned to show my works – sticking to the left block of solid color creates the effect of continuity from the top to the bottom of the page.
Yep! So I put aside these design ideas and started from scratch - or it would probably be more correct to say – I am continuing from where I stopped.
Here are some images that I have saved for myself (... and you) that should show/map the steps my mind went through.

The golden center of the overall composition is going to be the new logos. Nothing really to say :) simply watch what happens.
