My Progression (WPS2)
When I began developing my site I knew that I wanted it to focus mainly on my creative projects. I visited the websites of some of my favorite videographers/photographers, in hopes of gaining some inspiration. I realized that a lot of their websites were in very simple portfolio layouts, and I wanted to do something different. Below is the website of one of my favorite artists, Petra Collins:
I wanted to display my photography and videos on a website in a manner that is uniquely designed to portray my aesthetics as an artist. The aesthetic I am trying to go for is “90s media” chic; a design that mirrors the original Super Mario Bros or a 90s editorial magazine layout but with a modern twist. The first thing I did was download a “pixel” text font to my website in order to fully create the 90s vibe I am going for. I then created a very simple homepage, with just a cloud floating in as you open the site (fun fact, I LOVE clouds). After opening the homepage, a menu will pop up, directing you to the various pages of my site. Since last time, I have added content to my “creative projects” page: buttons that will redirect you to the projects I’ve done with artists:
Right now, the only project I have up are pictures from a shoot with artist, FKi First, a talented music engineer working with artists like 2 Chainz, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. (INSERT PIC) I will later add projects that I am currently editing. I am really excited to keep building my portfolio and eventually be able to use it as a reference for future clients.
