Homework #4: Professional Portfolios

32 Round:
This portfolio is professional because everything was laid out in defined categories. It had a unique interface, as it appears to be completely in black and white, but the art becomes coloured when you roll over it. It is a unique way to make what you are looking at stand out. The menu is easy to read and the artist’s company is easy to find.



Formatura:
This portfolio is professional because it is very easy to navigate and the focus is primarily on the photography. There is no background picture or clutter anywhere to distract from the work. The buttons at the top are easily read and clear as to what they will take you to.




Tali Kimelman:
This portfolio is professional because of the ease with which you can peruse it. The categories were well labelled and allowed you to look at her work quickly and easily. When looking at multiple pictures, the work was spaced far enough apart so that you could see each one without it cluttering up the other pictures. The text was easily readable and there was even a translation button at the bottom to translate it into Spanish. The artist’s name was always visible.



Fiero Animals:
This portfolio is professional because as soon as you enter it you immediately see the artwork. You can’t miss it, and it captures your attention and makes you want to look at more. The menu was easy to find and had a nice drop-down effect with clearly defined categories in easy-to-read print. The art was easy to find and look at.



Kim Holtermand:
This portfolio is professional because it is very minimalist and draws your attention to the photography. The menu always stays in the same spot along with the artist’s name, so it is always clearly visible. All of her work is clearly laid out in categories that are easy to peruse and load very quickly. The fonts and writing is very easily read.
