Derek Hegsted Home Page Comp 01.20.03
Purpose: Went with a very clean white layout so the eye is focused on the artwork. I did not want anything on the page to compete with the artwork. The Derek Hegsted logo was created with ITC Galliard for "Derek Hegsted" and "FINE ART" is ITC Avant Garde Gothic the navigation is also ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The logo was derived from Derek's "Tree of life" painting, the tree depicted is of course the one in the painting. I wanted to logo to have an organic feel, much like a brush stroke, but I also wanted the logo to have a really communicate Derek's artwork, so when I got right down to it, the only way to make the logo completely "Derek" was to include his artwork.
