My different looks for my home page became a study of light at different times of day. My content became a little building that I thought of as my attic. I have my office in the upstairs of a house that is surrounded by redwoods so I tried to give my prospective home page that same look and feel.
Note: All the art was created in Illustrator 9.
The first idea took on the feel of early morning on a bright day which seemed to bring out the green of the landscape.
My second look came at night. I tried to contrast the moonlight and the glow of the incondescent light inside.
My third look came at dawn. I sometimes get up before dawn to work on projects. Dawn is a startling time of day and that was what I tried to capture. I found I became closer to a river in this approach.
