My initial design was actually very different to the website I ended up with. Originally I wanted to create a website that featured characters from games that I enjoy.

The idea was to have them line the screen on either side and frame the content of the website.

However I decided this approach felt too childish and so I stuck with one game and used the "animus" theme present within the game as the basis for my website.

Original planning

This is a screenshot of the animus theme from assassin's creed 1, the grids and abstract DNA carry over into my website.
