site map idea - comm design


here's a couple of diagrams of how i think i'm going to do my website. It's going to have five pages. i want each page to have it's own layout, maybe the same standard layout for each page but with different colours and elements / illustrations.
Index / home - links, photos of me, "stuff", ramblings, flashy things (like floria sigismondi?)
Films i like to look at - layout idea - drawings from stills of characters from films etc
- 2001, house of flying daggers, requiem for a dream, the meaning of life
Photography - layout idea - mix of photograms and doodlings (like bjork vespertine artwork)
- my work.
- "mechanical eye" - i want to get this idea across
musics i like to listen to - layout idea - not sure yet, want to include piccies and vids from gigs i've been to and fav lyrics
- muse, radiohead, garbage, bjork, placebo, soulwax, tom waits?
books i do love - layout idea - photos of books and doodlings
- list of fav books
- reviews?
- quotes
i don't want the pages to be too different from the others, i want some elements to cross over the sections. i like the idea of combining photographics elements with illustrations, i think if i do this on all of the pages it will bring it all together.

i think this idea has been heavily influenced by one of my favourite (mini) websites, bjork's greatest hits website (here). each page (one for each song on the album) has it's own feel and colour scheme but uses the same style of illustration on each page. i really like the effect this creates, and i really like the style of illustration used. i also think the layout of the pages is very effective, and allows for alot information to be put onto one page with out it seeming overcrowded or hard to navigate.

random little doodle of layout idea for index / home page. uses elements from my montage. hmm...
