Re-design

Having recieved feedback from my dynamic word group I have decided to make a few changes to the design of the page. On of the issues that came up a couple of times was that the background could use some work. Looking at it now I agree and in sorting this issue out I have looked at a few options for what I could use as a background instead. Some suggested using patterns so that's the first thing I looked at:

 

In this instance I have kept the gradient background and added a print over the top. I don't think it improves it - if anything it makes it look more complicated.

During the autumn season I tend to take a lot of photographs of the changing leaves. This year I took a few that were out of focus so that all you could see where the colours of nature. I dug these out and tested one of them out as a background. Given that this piece has a Halloween theme - which is in autumn I thought the photos would go well with it. I really liked the outcome and decided to continue using the photos as backgrounds.
