Good thing I had a back-up plan

Alright so, this website design I'm working on isn't going to work...

I'm having too much trouble with the rotating preloader, so I'm just going to focus on the backup
design that I had started working on. This premise for this one is that the website is like a virtual gallery in which my portfolio is displayed. Perhaps cliche, but it gets the job done.

I got the idea from the group discussion session we had in History of Design actually, where we talked about Barbara Krueger's work and the re-contextualization of graphic design that is displayed in galleries. I personally don't think that galleries are a native environment for graphic design, but there is still some interesting thoughts to be had on the subject. For portfolio site purposes, I think it works just fine and it's also appropriate in light of the upcoming VisComm BFA show.

Below are some links that inspired me with the design idea. Check these out.
