Artist Website

Here are two similar designs for the photography website:

 

The only difference between deisgn 1 and 2 is that I have added a gradient background which I think gives the page more depth whilst at the same time keeps it simple.

Here are some more designs for the website:

 

  

As you can see the two above designs differ only by background colour, The idea with this design is that the catagories of photos slide up or down depending on which arrow the user clicks, when the mouse hovers over a particular umage the text will slide out saying what the catagory of photos is. When clicked on, thumnails of the photos in that group will fill the space on the right and will enlarge (lightbox) when clicked on if the user wants a closer look. I have found that this style of portfolio is becoming common online with the images being a strip on the screen.

  

I think this design is bit more fun, Colours are kept to a minimum, a simple navigation at the top makes it easy to use, the user selects which images they wish to view.
