For our final project we are going to create a portfolio website for our work at ITP. This is great because I’ve been meaning to build a portfolio website for a long time now.
I began searching the web for website that I liked. I definitely like cartoonish sites that involve nature. Here are some examples of themes I like to incorporate:

I have already started with my own theme playing with this idea of a cartoonish nature scene. I have the scene change based on the time of day. Right you can override the current theme to see what it will look like at different times of day. I haven’t finished it but here it is:

As for layout of my site I would like have a thumbnail grid to show off my work. The website below is a great example of this:
