Final Designs for the website:

We decided on a new direction for the website, which broke out of the traditional gallery layout.

Here were by initial comps for the new direction:

Gallery – the nodes on the 3D spline represent images

Rollover one of the nodes, to see the image

Click on the image, and it will be viewable in 3D.

After talking with Sinan, we decided it should be more minimalist, so I came up with:

and Sinan revised that to:

Then, we talked to Adam, and he made a few suggestions.  My revised comps after that:

And Sinan’s:

We”ll probably go through one more round of revisions, but the basic idea is fairly finalized.  The logo is also still in progress, so the one we used in the designs is fpo.

Next step of website comps, that were created for last quarter. Since then we have come up with another direction. Which will be posted up soon.

This is the evolution of our application interface design so far:

Here is our first comp direction for the website gallery. We decided to go in a lighter feel. This will keep each uploaded image from being weighed down or having it become too affected by the over all website design. Instead this direction will allow each piece to shine.

This feel was partially inspired by these websites:

Capacity

MarioKart

As the research for this new application has been getting more and more in depth for both the design and technical side, I have decided to kick off this spirit of research by posting a collage of image research for brush stroke directions:
