Learning Objectives: 6C2, 6A2
In order to showcase my work I decided to create a new website that was more unconventional than my existing site that I made during summer (see figure 1). Ready-mag has been used as I like the navigational tools used within some of the examples I found online (see figure 2). In relation to the work I plan on featuring within my portfolio all photos have been taken and rationals written as there used within my other website. However a key consideration when creating my new site was consistency, trying to make different briefs look like a cohesive and consistent body of work despite each outcome being different. This lead to the use of black backgrounds surrounding the imagery as this is how I showcase a lot of work on Instagram, allowing not only for consistency on my website but across my online platforms (see figures 3-4). Although I initially liked Ready-mag I found it difficult to navigate as a completely new page could be created on the free version therefore I decided to create an infinite scroll based site. This allowed me to showcase all my work on one page with a small rational for each (see figures 3-6), giving the impression of a page for project as you can only see one project per scroll. The use of pink and blue create an interesting and engaging contrast which instantly stands out against traditional portfolio sites similar to the one I currently have (see figure 1). Featuring a quote related to each brief alongside the photos also adds a more playful aspect to the website, giving it an additional unusual element. In order to allow easy contact I've linked both my Instagram and email so viewers can click and be taken directly to an email or my Instagram.
