5 portfolios from other concentrations

The first website that I saw was a portfolio by Amber Sellers and I thought it was amazing because the background is dark and somewhat plain, with light decoration (not too noticeable) which makes the art work pop out at you. You don't have to search hard for the other tabs because they're right in the center with everything else. There's just enough user interface as well. She has her about me with credentials and her contact information right there for you.

The second portfolio is by lycra space and it's user interface is amazing. The only problem I have is you don't know what the blocks mean and because you're distracted for awhile by the spinning block, it's hard to find the about section and contact information.

Eric Ryan Anderson is an amazing photographer and I like his website because it makes his work pop. The background is dark as to not distract the work, and all of the stuff is easy to find. I wish I didn't have to scroll all the way to the right to see all of the pictures, but there is a BACK button at the end to press to bring it back to the beginning of the website.

Robert Dann is another who was good with user interface and brand identity. In the top corner he has a pink and white RD logo. His website is very well integrated and like Eric Ryan Anderson, you had to scroll on the first page to see the rest of the pictures but he had buttons to do it for you. I also love how he has quotes on the first page to give a clue about what his personality is like.

  1. amanda- this is really weak.

    you grabbed all these portfolios off the class blog. the assignment was to research other industries portfolios. you obviously didn't do that and just took the easy way out by linking portfolios i already supplied for you.

    please try this assignment again.
