Before & After

Before

Okay..for this I didn't actually fixed on any layout...
my problem is the image treatment and quality...
and so on....









After

After that I try to redesign every single elements which applied in my design. I used it for my background treatment and also my tattoo design.

I know it look kinda messy, so...I really need help/comments on this of how to improve. Since I'm using only black & white (except logo) for my entire design, so it's quite challenging on the arrangement of the background elements.

I try to use another image instead of the previous 1, and try to make it smaller.

For my profile's portrait, just temporary I think because I really need some time to montage if have to make myself look like the lady inside.







I know there'r still many problems so I really need feedback. Thanks.

Interface Art Direction

I tried to research for tattoo artist personal website but I couldn't find any, so I try to know more about tattoo in Tattoo Johnny. This website really helps me a lot to know more about tattoo, what we have to prepare and also the cleaning steps after we get a tattoo and so on.

Tattoo is very popular in western country but hardly find even a teenager got a real tattoo here, so it makes me research more on tattoo artist in western country than local tattoo artist. Sorry that I don't have many images for this post, but I did read through lots of texts from the internet.

I hardly find a website which is close to the art direction I want to have in my mindset. I roughly did 1 interface in photoshop to show roughly how it feels.

My entire website design will always have half and part of a lady figure on the left side, which mean I will cut a full body into different part and put them on different pages. (For example, the main page will show the face, the final page will have my legs part, and the images will always on the left.) Then in different pages, there'll be different tattoo on the body, with a short description for it. At first I planned to have my navigation be the tattoo and tattooed on the body, but I worry that different part of body will keep me moving the navigation around, so...I will consider of another way to apply my navigation.

For the background, it will always be white, clean clean white. The elements will be added on, if possible I will try to animate them to make them slightly bloom out. I don't want my design to be too colourful. For me, I love black tattoo more than a colourful one. So black and white will be my main colour in my design.
