Pheasand Oak Website - Round 1: Initial design concepts for landing page

click thumbnail to enlarge

In general, I designed this landing page stictly as a portal to the three sections. I think any other links the spcific products or scheludes will complicate the navigation and idea of three distinct sections. So we should figure out how much this should feel like a homepage, or how much we can focus on the homepages of each of the sections.

I just develped quick versions of the logo. These could be refined with your input.

	LAYOUT 1 One object is used to represent each section. Tasting room could be switched to a glass, products could be switched to a gift basket, etc. We should probably put the phone number and address on here. I think if we put too much content here, it may fight the feel of this being a landing page.
	LAYOUT 2 This layout is the most busy (websity looking) design. The images at the top would be animated to fade as a slide show We could show the images representing the Different areas without having to put them all up at once (maybe less busy). The image at the bottom would change depending on what the viewer moused over. The bottle, for instance, would be displayed when the view mouses over the tasting room link.
	LAYOUT 3 This is the cleanest, most direct presentation of the portal idea.
	LAYOUT 4 I switched the images to duotones. Perhaps when moused over, they could rollover to color images. I like the shot of the vineward...feel county to me.
