Workbook - Website Progress (4/10/2015)

I have been working on Phoebe and my website.
Originally I had the idea to make the page simple with 4 objects straight down the middle and when the mouse hovers the 4 images (starfish, trash, shell and tampon) it would lead to a directory for each separate topic.

This was how the page turned out. Origibally I had a black border but Phoebe suggested that be removed as it suffocated the image and made the page look cheap.
For the background I took a photo of my hardwood floor and inverted it to make the image seem "beach-like".
However I didnt like how this looked as it was too simple so I developed this idea further to something a little bit more detailed. 

I made the background color a little more saturated and changed the title to plague. I then created some vector reference images and when the titles are hovered over these animals appear.
I made the font italic to make the page seem more of a Vogue parody.

This is the second page for the website below:

I used a stock photo of rubbish for the background and divided it then colored over top with blue. Originally it was brown but it looked too gross for a "high end" fashion magazine. Phoebe and I really want to play on the idea of the images appearing optimistic in a bad situation. Hence why the model seems happy to be bathing in crappy rubbish.

The third page:

I inverted an image of a Wellington beach and placed a model in the bottom corner of the image. This is the third page because it is less aggressive in the idea of pollution - it implies and idea of what COULD be achieved if we had a polluted-free environment, while also maintaining the color scheme.

The vector images I kept referencing, I made a page of vector images that Phoebe and I will use throughout all of our products (i.e: the pamphlet she's working on). These are the main images we will be using among others.

For the models I decided giving them clothes would be too simple, so instead I only vectored the skin and left the clothes blank so the backgrounds will shine through to make the models actually seem like they are a part of the problem without them noticing it. They're bathing in their problem and working around it by making it seem like a fashion statement instead of a problem that needs to actually be fixed.
