Photography Website Development

Photography Website- Homepage Graphics

I have done three alternative illustrations for the home page. The first was a illustration of my own. That I created uses brushes, layers and opacity in parts to give the finalised look. After constructive critisum I ddecied to develop the main focus of the page. I made the image more fit for purpose, making the main image a polaroid. This imediatly says photography being symbolic in illustrating the websites purpose. I created two different variations with this in mind. The first out of the two a scatterted stack of polaroids and the other a centralised polaroid. They both consisted of the same photo. Which was one of the images from the photographers portfolio. Giving the browser an insight into her work and style of photography. Below are the three different illustrations for the website I created.









Evaluation

The other amendments included a slight problem with the font face kit for the Google browsers homepage. Where the sub title disapeared, which i corrected by redirecting the code enabling it to work correctly. The next change I made was to the Gallery page as with all the graphics in the background. It drew too much attention away from the images them self. So for this page I simplified the design that made it stand out more whilst getting the message across clearly. A few minor changes that where easily solved was a postioning of the sound bar, readjusting the sizes of the php form, and adding some social icons to the homepage. Giving the browser that extra form of contact and information. The other big change I made was adding different home page illustrations after constructive critisum. I gave a variation of a few different designs for the homepage main focus, all saying straight away "Photography".
