SUU Advanced Web Design

Due to our most recent critique, I have decided to completely start over on my design. Yay! I'm really excited about the new concept, and I think it definitely shows my personality and way of design much better. For the most part, the elements are going to be hand drawn, so that's what I've been working on the past few days.

So here are some of my concept sketches, more art nouveau with a decent amount of white space.

The boxes on the front page will remain static - and wont change or pull anything from the database. It will show work from the catagory it represents (The titles will be hand drawn on top of the swirls). Currently, I'm still in the sketching process for this.

The last picture is my header and footer. My name (Or soon to be name) will go up on the header in the white empty area. "Contact" or "About" will be clickable. Does anyone feel like "Contact" And "About" shouldn't be in the header? Should it be somewhere else? Let me know! :D
