This mini-website was created for a graphic design course at C-MD. It was mostly meant as an introduction to Photoshop, but I went a bit overboard and used the Mootools Javascript library to add an image gallery.
The main goal of the assignment was to originally depict an artist or art period, making creative use of foreground and background. At the time I was still trying to read Gödel, Escher and Bach, so I thought it would be fun to use Escher. He created a lot of lithos and drawings so the paper backgorund would be a good fit for his drawings. I integrated his work into this. Another part of the assignment was to use a repeating background, which is a very thankful job since Escher’s work is much about repeating and recursivity.
Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed in integrating the navigation arrows into the design, so they look as if they don’t quite belong there.
