Part One: Research :: What makes a good Artist Portfolio

-Li Fan-

Li Fan’s website drew my eye for a couple of reason. The first reason being that it is very simple and direct. There is no confusion on whether something is button or not, which makes it very easy to navigate your away around. It is not too simple, to the point were it is boring. The second thing I liked about this website was that color scheme. For the home page there is a very neutral gray but it is contrasted by bright green of the grass that the ducks are on. This makes the picture really stand out, as if the ducks were jumping off the page. The very last thing that I liked about his website is that the theme remains constant through out all the pages. The gray, white and orange color scheme on his “photo blog” creates a subtle, but nice eye movement, and makes for interesting page. Although I do think that some parts of the webpage could be a little bit more dynamic, not too much, but just a little bit. Overall, I love the simplicity of the website, and the neutral color choices.
