Evaluation
At the start of our project we was given a task which was to create our own portfolio on a website named wix.com this website is used around the world and is suitable for anyone, any age, and whatever you want your website to be about for example, business, education, awareness in this case my one was of all of my best work I have produced this year. I had to add images of my work from all the different subjects I study which is graphics, photography, video-work, and bio. We had to choose a template we like and edit it to make it look like our own and design it to our liking.
Firstly we had to do research into other websites that are based around photography one of the people I researched was Yoo Na Mi who is a Korean photographer and an artist when first viewing Her website it looked very interesting and her photos was structured in her gallery where it was in rows of 3 This helped me get some ideas of how I could lay out my photos on my website, The background on her website was dark, I liked this because this meant that the photos stood out more because of the black background. The title was in big and bold writing at the top left hand of her page with her name, this helped me also because I too added my name in big bold writing when producing my website. The second research I done was an artist/photographer called Joni Mitchell her website seemed interactive and also had her name as the title and in big and bold writing, her photos was laid out one by one. My third artist website research I done was The Gordon Parks Foundation the website was simple and eye-catching with a white background and black writing, it had a black and white theme, also the photos was structured in rows of four. This helped me when deciding what background color I should have and what color my texts would be (in this case I chose to do a white background and black writing).
After this we had to look for a template and when looking for a template it was hard for me because there was a variety of templates on the website, the template I chose stood out to me from all of them this is because it had a name as the title and it was very big and bold also it had a subtitle underneath it which I also liked. It looked professional also the subheading to navigate to another page caught my attention (home,nature,urban) because I could change them to (graphic work, photography, videos) and another thing that caught my attention was how the images where very structured and was in rows. It had a stylish design to it.
When I chose my template was creating the Bio, on my Bio I added my name and where I live and where I study also my age this is to tell the viewers a little more about me. I have also added all the different type of cameras I have used in my works including my own camera, including all the different editing software’s I have used. Furthermore I have named and listed all the projects I have done this year this is to show examples of my other works and accomplishments. I have also added who inspired me for my website.
The second page on my website I created was the graphics page where I have chosen my best work I have done all year and put them together on a page, I have added a slider on top of the page so when the viewer’s click left or right they can scroll through the slider, I done this to make it more interactive and the images are big on the slider this is so they are eye-catching, also I have made a gallery underneath the slider which is in rows of 3 this makes my website looks professional and structured.

When I chose my template was creating the Bio, on my Bio I added my name and where I live and where I study also my age this is to tell the viewers a little more about me. I have also added all the different type of cameras I have used in my works including my own camera, including all the different editing software’s I have used. Furthermore I have named and listed all the projects I have done this year this is to show examples of my other works and accomplishments. I have also added who inspired me for my website.
The second page on my website I created was the graphics page where I have chosen my best work I have done all year and put them together on a page, I have added a slider on top of the page so when the viewer’s click left or right they can scroll through the slider, I done this to make it more interactive and the images are big on the slider this is so they are eye-catching, also I have made a gallery underneath the slider which is in rows of 3 this makes my website looks professional and structured.
The third page
on my website I created was a photography page where I have also added my best
works I have done all year which are from, Film Noir, Creatures photography,
and extra work I have done throughout the year which are smaller projects. I
have stretched some images out on this page this is to make them bigger so they
are in front of the viewer’s face as soon as they are on the page. I have made
all the images in rows of two and a gallery which is in rows of four. And I have
added titles of where I took the images for example (the gallery with four rows
on my website the images on that gallery was took at Stone-bridge farm). The
final page on my website is a video work page which I have included my film
production projects these projects have been displayed onto the website by
using a HTML embed widget that the site provides us with.
In conclusion I believe that my portfolio has been successful because In order to create it I have used all of my knowledge from research that I have done and this helped me get ideas and build up my website. Furthermore I have completed all of the subjects I have done this year (Graphic design, photography, video work, bio) my portfolio design is simplistic and professional to viewers. If I was to improve it I would maybe add an animated background just to experiment with.
Your website looks professional and is laid out correctly, - Shaun
