Design a clean sports web layout in magazine-style with Photoshop

I spend my days developing websites, improving WeGraphics and playing football. Well, I’ve tried to mix these three activities designing a blog-magazine style layout, perfect for an on-line football/sport community.
This kind of websites generally are focused on the content because they should provide a lot of information to the readers and in this case I’ve choosen to bring out all the contents (the articles) giving more relevance to images and headings. The reason behind the choice of using large images is the direct consequence of my love for this sport: browsing a football-related website I need images, pictures, figures, colors, videos… I want to see my favourite champions.

Meeting of Land and Water

I have found that my paintings turn out the best when I have a good mental image of them before I start painting. This often involves some research. Ideally it is good to have several types reference. One of the first things I do is to think about what elements could be in the painting. Then I try to find good general pictures of those elements. Second I sometimes look for color reference. These pictures or paintings can be totally unrelated as long as they have a color scheme that fits the mood and the setting. It is also nice to have inspiration for the artistic qualities or that “wow” factor. Often this is a lifelong habit of always studying nature and good art.
