Website Design for Optick's Paintbox

My second big project for Advanced Graphics was to construct a website for an imaginary company in Photoshop.  

I kept in my style and made "Optick's Paintbox", a luxury watercolor supply company.  

I wanted to make a site that embraced and lauded the texture and transparency of watercolor, making any sentimental artist turn away from brand-cheap Dick Blick and pine for a Paintbox.

I was inspired by the title page of Newton's Opticks: or a Treatise on the Reflexions,  Inflexions and Colours of Light.

I loved the font, and the science and history behind the work, and I used it as a springboard for my design.  

This is my secondary page for the site.

Here's the title page of Newton's Opticks.
