Initially you are introduced to the
designers website with a very illustrative based design. The design is a little
bit all over the place but I do really like the idea of it. I like the style of
the designs and the free hand sketches. However I do think the design of the
website could be improved by making the whole website just a little bit more
professional. I do like the navigation bar on the portfolio itself and I think
it looks very approachable and user friendly.
I was
really shocked to see on one of the photos that the designer was actually male
because of the way the whole layout and illustration of the website was it
actually came across rather feminine. I think the way the left hand navigation
bar works is really mind boggling and I don’t think it looks as good free hand
as it could if it was simple and computerised. I think the main entry screen
works really well as it immediately navigates you to different parts of the
portfolio and I think this is something I could possibly consider when
designing my own website. However I think I will make my website a little bit
more professional looking by using images from my work or snapshots of parts of
my work rather that small scamps drawn free hand. I think however overall the
website works well and I could image it being very attractive for people
looking for work for a kids book or something along the children’s lines.
I don’t
think the website sets you up for the content of the portfolio as I was
expecting a lot more illustrative designs but they all are very professional
and vector based. A lot of the design work on the portfolio seems to be web
design so I would consider using different sections for different parts of the
portfolio.
