Week 6 Peer Review

I spoke with Bryce Wright about his site.
I enjoyed the images he had available to view and the accordion layout on the portfolio page. 

The critiques I offered were:
The photo carousel on the main page could be removed to avoid confusion with the portfolio page.

His bio on the main page could all fit on the black part of the lens on the camera.

The text outlining on his name could stand to be removed.

A bit more text could be written about his projects. 

Overall, nice job.

Website analysis number 2.

Portfolio sites, in the order  I looked at them.


Ryan Fisher

The site had a couple of interesting elements. The black and white images which changed into color on the main page were unique and engaging. The collage of works on the main page, placed with a subtle background offered a pleasant feel. One change to the site could be better navigation and a more fluid approach to getting through the case studies. 


Collin Greenleaf
The movies reeling on the main page to illustrate  abilities in motion graphics were well done. The assessment list, following the resume, which had animated bars of skill level growing when the page scrolled down, was interesting.


Jeeyoung Jung
The usability and layout of this site was fluid and easy to navigate. The look was consistent throughout the site. The high resolution images on every page, with the works integrated into the photos is something I wish to do. The slightly transparent effect on rollover is a nice touch.

Sabrina Nguyen

Great, simple font choice, layout, with the side navigation. Nice, smooth presentation of case studies, high resolution photos with integrated works. Very subtle and very useable. This is inspiring  to find/take photos to present work better, use side navigation for web, top navigation for mobile,  and a simple font.
