As I was doing research for this weeks module I came across an article on www.abduzeedo.com about website trends. The article discussed using simple squares like seen in Windows 8 "metro" design. I really like the way the Windows 8 UI looks so I'm going to design my portfolio website in that style. It is not so much a new design, as the article stated, magazines have been using this layout approach for decades. As a lover of magazines and their layouts it makes sense I would be drawn to this style.
I mocked up a simple layout as a template for my website. I used shades of grey for now but I plan to create a color combination in Kuler for my website. I picture it really bright with more typography than graphics.
