ADDING ELEMENTS

Seeing as my flashsite design is lacking elements that are relating to the theme and hence, I'm deciding on using butterflies. Butterflies can bring life to a dead scenery and they can be very magical at times. Butterflies have many symbolic meanings.




CHANGE IN LAYOUT

A sudden idea just hit me and I've decided to change my flashsite design from the original purple layout that I presented in my PD review.






Like I mentioned a few entries back that the piano is a classical instrument that can be very Goth in its own way. Personally, as a pianist, I feel that designing my flashsite in the form of a vertical piano keyboard would bring about my identity as a pianist and at the same time act as one of the connecting elements to the theme. Also, I'm rather well known among peers to be a dedicated pianist.


***more improvements on the way. Design is lacking in elements of the theme.***



MOOD BOARD FROM PD REVIEW

The 2 mood boards that I did for my PD review. The first one being a mood board based on garden elements while the second one based on Goth elements.


GOTHIC PIANO

The piano can be a very Gothic element. The musical instrument itself portrays a classy and elegant feel. Been researching around for various visual illustrations of the piano. I like how adding saturation and a bit of flower decoration can help make the entire picture look very Gothic.





LIGHT AND DARK SIDE

The term "Gothic Fairytale" really reminds me of fairies. Shown below are 2 images of a gothic fairy and a seemingly normal fairy. Its interesting to know how there are 2 sides to everything. In this case, the bright side and the dark side. Of course, for my theme, I'm focusing more on the dark side.
