09 Jan Portfolio website
Welcome to my portfolio website. I have designed this website with my goal of working within the realms of charity and/or conservation in mind.
1. Homepage
For the homepage I have used a scrolling static page. This area of my website covers a lot of ground including showcasing some of my work, my photography skills via my ‘photo of the week’ post grid and a miniature bio discussing what my interests are.
2. Elements of the homepage: Photo of the week
I introduced the ‘photo of the week’ feature as a fun, bitesized way to further show off my photography skills. This feature also gives me a format on which to upload frequently with ease to help ensure that my website always has recent content.
3. Blog post
Here is an example of my house style. A standfirst comes before the image, which is ran within the article or blog post. The text that follows is interspersed with photo galleries, videos and audio from soundcloud where applicable. A sidebar of recent posts and archives features on the right hand side.
4. Articles
Within my website I have also included some serious articles in addition to the more conversational and casual blog posts. I believe that showing a potential employer that I am capable of both writing styles will be beneficial in my post graduate job hunt.
5. Photography
My photography page is split into categories showcasing the different areas of photography I have experience in. These are predominantly equine and portraiture, but I have also included some of my landscape and uncategorised photos. The Photography page is minimalist in order not to draw attention away from the images.
