I find writing the home page of my website one of the most difficult parts of bringing my portfolio website together. I found a lot of fun examples online, but nothing quite jumped out at me. There are some pieces and parts I would like to incorporate into my home screen but I wasn't sure about any particular design. That's when I found a lot of interI used midjourney to generate a bunch of samples for ideas and I found a really interesting one:

I really liked the quarter-turn portrait with a small blurb about me next to the picture. I'm not quite sure how large to make the image but I think it could have a lot of character. I dabbled around quite a bit on YouTube so I have some experience with messing with images like the one in this sample.

I had some ideas about maybe making it animated somehow and look quickly at the user or make a silly face once in a while. Or maybe if you press a certain button or key it would do it.

Mobile will be interesting. So far my website has been okay-ish on the mobile front. I'm hoping the idea carries over.

I guess I'm just ranting here, but I find posting about it to be fun and entertaining for me. I suppose if/when I get to game or even general software development I'll be trying to share information about that more. But we'll see.
