New website...

On with my portfolio site at the moment and I think I have finally decided on the style i want to go for. The style i have chosen is based around traditional hand painted signwriting, which is influenced by a love of nineteenth century type and also because of a book I bought just before christmas which is packed full of amazing type..

I wanted to give it a modern feel by using bright colours and so have used a black background to give the type more impact. The site is still a work in progress, but i'm finally happy with the style at least after trying far to many different branding ideas and spending far too long messing about with logos. Just need to play around with layout and type size so hopefully it will be finished and out there before to long.
