Home Page & Navigation Sketches

My concept for my portfolio website is a simple classic book design. I am torn between a book stack and books in between book ends (as you will see in my sketches below). I find myself drawn to a more clean design so I am trying to keep things as clean as possible. The books will be the navigation buttons and there will be small social media icons on the bottom. I liked the idea of having my monogram on the top of the page, but if I go with the book end design I will use H for one end and C for the other, so there will be no need for my monogram at the top. I also have included a sketch for a mobile device (smart phone or tablet). Because the design is so simple I will most likely use bold colors.
