Why the name Arcana?

Before I wrote my negotiated programme module I was thinking of a name or word that would be nice to use to best describe a collective of people & while searching online I came across the word "Arcana" 

Arcana : mysterious or specialized knowledge, language, or information accessible or possessed only by the initiate - usually used in plural.

I was instantly taken by this & decided it described everything I wanted to get across as a collective of people. Below is the logo I came up with for the project title & will also be used for the site.

Grid 960 & Adobe kuler [research]

Grid 960 link: I will be using this downloadable grid system for my project as it is standard industry size with in website design & will save me time building my own.

Adobe kuler link: For reference to colour scheme ideas for the user interface I've decided to look though adobe's online kuler app for possible ideas.


Negotiated module: arcana

For the next 2 negotiated modules, I’ve decided I want to design a minimal & simple user interface for a website to be able to showcase a selection of design work, video production & music production also other area’s of artistic work in a sort of blog form.

The reason I’ve chose this type of project is because it covers all the area’s I’m into & want to further knowledge in & it would work well as an on going project which I could carry on into other modules through out this course.
