Making graphics for a website seemed like a daunting task a couple of years ago when I jumped into the project. I had no idea what the deal is with using downloaded images and the like when you’re making a commercial website, and I actually wasn’t that keen to just use someone else’s artwork. 

Since I’d designed the logo myself in Fusion 360, I came up with this plan to use renders with low lighting that would hopefully just fade into the background of the website and look like a nice subtle image. I was initially quite happy with this for our original website, lannix3d.com.au, but when it came time to build our new website I wanted something a little more artistic to grab people’s attention when they clicked on our home page.

Originally, the main page background was a brick wall with our logo as an illuminated sign hanging on it. I was happy with it at first but after looking at it closely I realised the brick texture wasn’t as high-res as I’d like and I felt it was looking a bit uninteresting. The light didn’t seem to stand out as much as I’d hoped so I went back and gave it some more attention.
