Portfolio Website Research

This portfolio website is very clean and interesting. I like the font choice and the thumbnail images are really large, which is a great way to showcase the work.

This website it maybe a little more cluttered than I would like, but the concept is really creative. He does a good job of showcasing a variety of his work by incorporating technology images. I also love how he incorporated his logo with the "business cards" in the top right.

This website has a much grungier, urban feel. I wouldn't necessarily go with that feel, but I liked it because the site itself was congruent with the style of his work. The navigation is really simple, and the front page is a nice blog style to keep things interesting for viewers.

This website was probably my favorite of all my research. I loved how the work is presented really cleanly and it's really showcased well with the full-page images. The color is really effective as well. I love the alignment of the navigation and the simplicity of the sans serif font choice that is consistent throughout the shop.

This website was a little larger in scope because it is for an entire firm, but it is really clean and well-organized. The thumbnail images are really great too - the front page has some featured work, but you can access the rest of it through the "our work" tab. This is a very minimal layout, which is nice.

Art Museum Website Design Research

This website is really clean and simple. It's maybe not as aesthetically pleasing as I would like, but it has a great navigation system and is easy to use. 

I liked this museum's website design because it was very aesthetically pleasing. They have good font choices, colors, etc, and their navigation was pretty simple.

The Type Museum also had a nice clean website. The navigation is simple to use and the design of the site is very aesthetically pleasing. I really like the separateness of their logo in the top left.

VCU's Anderson Gallery had a really great website. I loved the colors they used and it's very clean and modern. This one is probably my favorite visually. 

UVA's art museum website isn't as clean as the others, but I really liked the way that they marked their "you are here" navigation with the little triangle jutting down from the current tab. 

This website design does a great job of organizing a LOT of information. There's the top navigation for the different Tate galleries (differentiated by colors so you don't get confused), and then there's the internal navigation below that for each.
