Here is a selection of homepages from online portfolios, I have chosen to analyse these pages because they are effective and I feel they represent the artist well.
It is very important to consider what else is out there in order to make myself competitive.

Likes : Using own image on front page allows the viewer to “get to know you” I like the use of monochrome colours creating the illusion of negative space Use of font – makes most important information stand out Artist using a phone suggests easy to get hold of/always available Easy links to next page Dislikes: No colour – although I recognise that this is not a graphic design portfolio and so does not necessarily need colour |
 |
Likes: Use of illustration Use of colour Professional page layout/structure I like the use of 01,02 etc for the different sections Contact details are clear Dislikes: Page size doesn’t fit all screen size (you have to scroll down to see the bottom) Each part sectioned off by using lines |

Likes: Colour scheme is bright, effective and creative I like the use of shadows to bring everything to life The white font really stands out against the background Artist’s work is categorised clearly Dislikes: Use of hand written font is difficult to read No structure to the use of fonts e.g. use of capitals and lower case, different styles The “hi there” section is very small and hard to read |

Likes: Well structured Like the way when you move the cursor over the images all the others fade out Simple and effective I like the way his logo is clear on the front page Dislikes: You have to move across 15 pages to see everything Contact information not on front page |

Likes: Displays client history Discusses previous experience, like an online CV Clear contact information Dislikes: Don’t like the colour scheme Too much information on front page – leaves nothing to the imagination |
