Portfolio - Research

In order to create my online portfolio I decided to look at a few different portfolios to get an idea of what I could do for my own.


Notes:

Pro’s
Sounds work

Negatives
Takes too many button clicks to get anywhere
Too simple
Images aren’t big enough

For this one I felt that the design was too simple and wasn’t immediately engaging me with artwork. It took a few clicks for me to get to each area because of the precision of what the artist was displaying. I think that it works as a portfolio but I can’t find any inspiration in the design.

Notes:

Pro’s
Clean look
Very easy to get to the artwork

Cons
Can’t think of any

Sections
 Illustration, Character Creature, About, Contact

I thought that this portfolio worked very well as far as clarity was concerned, it clearly presented the work under broad banners with a level of precision. I couldn’t think of many issues with this site and as a no nonsense portfolio it definitely acts as a perfect example for me.

Notes
Blogspot design, works well, all the art is very easy to access with a nice title page with access to contacts at the top of the page.

This site really jumped out at me when it was shown two weeks ago, but I couldn’t find the original website. Even so the blogspot design worked. It wasn’t over packed with needless detail because the artwork told the story. It allows access to contacts as well.  




Next step

From this research I’m now going to organise the artwork that I will be using for the website  and look at Wix, which is a free website builder in addition to Blogspot as possible options to create the portfolio with.
