BECAUSE WHY NOT
For my site I wanted to stay away from the typical stale navigational titles/categories. I wanted to visually express what those categories actually mean to me and to give them the proper visual they deserve. I also just felt like making something to be honest. I ended up making three categories: The Grind, After Hours and Eye Snaps. For “The Grind” I made a papier-mâché octopus holding golden tipped pencils in each arm to visually express the daily work experience. For “After Hours” I made a rocket ship blasting off to express the nonexistent limits you can get lost in when doing personal projects. Lastly for “Eye Snaps” I made a couple of cameras hanging over a skyline dumping out photos…a loose interpretation of what happens when you can’t stop finding things that are visually interesting and you want to capture all of them.
