Claire Coullon-portfolio site

This website is a simple/subtle portfolio website with some complex functions. The graphics are smooth and subtle having a perfect flow throughout the website whilst the colours complement the design and make the images stand out. The main homepage consists of a simple structured layout with the main focus a sliding Jquery gallery that discreetly changes image every few seconds. The other thing I like about the page is the block toolbar at the top that is made up of five blocks each with a title. Interaction with the set of sub links makes them fade into existence to allow you to navigate through the site more precisely. This is done with a simple image with downwards arrow key implying the box has more to reveal too the browser. Throughout the other pages the structure sticks to the theme of the homepage alternating the image slider for the specific pages content, most of the time with a photo/ illustration to the left with a caption describing it to the right. I really like the graphics behind this site and the fact it captures simplicity whilst being effective visually and fitting the correct criteria of its market audience.
