Like: -Slideshow of projects playing in background -Clean, Simple and clear layout/organization -Color of Logo background changes as you switch pages, to indicate which layer you are on -Navigation bars remain constant on all levels -Option to view projects as a slideshow or in list view Dislikes/ Needs Improvment: -Only one image per project -Cannot tell what the project you are looking at is until you select list view; only know what category it is in -No indication in slideshow of when projects have changed -In list view, it seems like you shoud be able to click on a project to see more info/images, but you cant -Layout-wise, would have preferred list of projects to be on the right side

Likes - Love the simplicity of the homepage, and the slideshow of pictures - I like how he organizes his wedding galleries by using the couples names, instead of just mashing all his wedding photography together under one gallery. - I love the navigation through the gallery pictures themselves, and how you can have them in a contact sheet, or a slide show, or a mini slideshow. Dislikes - I hate when websites have unnecessary sounds, and I think the clicky sound that occurs when the mouse goes over each link is irritating. - I think the way he labels his links and the organization is confusing and unclear. He gives appropriate titles to his gallery sections, but then when you get to the sublinks, you sometimes don't get a clear understanding of what the gallery you are clicking on is going to be of. - I think the link titled "hello and good day" is pointless and I don't really understand why it is there.

+ The main bar appears to stay the same while the content changes, allowing for intuitive and easy navigation + Minimalistic design makes it clean, simple, yet interesting + All of the project links are on a single page and readily visible - Thumbnails for the projects are somewhat small, difficult to see what each project is - Strategy to navigate within projects adds a level of difficulty, arrows to switch between projects and multiple blocks to navigate within a project not very intuitive - Extra space could have been used to include more and larger content

Pros-Simple and easy to navigate. - Well organized images. Work organized into projects from a main portfolio page with a slideshow for each project.-Logo on every screen reminding the view who's portfolio they are looking at. Cons -Very Simple, the home page isn't very attention grabbing. -There are some blank spots on the project selection page which looks unprofessional. -All of the text appears to be pixilated. 

Likes: White background highlights work. Main page features a rolling slideshow of work, which is intriguing when you first enter the site. Pop up bars indicate the name of the project, but before these appear you get a chance to see the image by itself. A loading bar appears at the bottom indicating when the next image will appear. Dislikes: Not many. It could be a little easier to choose between projects, and the pixel dimension could warrant being larger with the size of monitors these days.

Likes: 1) I like the simplistic quality 2) Easy to follow 3) Nice format of thumbnails Dislikes: 1) No slideshow 2) images too large, have to scroll down to see it all on my computer. 3) All of her work is very similar, isn't intriguing to continue looking through. Maybe slide show would be more beneficial.

Likes: - Nice landing page. I think she kept it clean and simple and gives just the right amount of introductory information. - The loading bar is clean and understandable. - I like how her About Me page is simple, and doesn't have a huge essay explaining her life and past work. It makes her more relatable, which I think is hugely important when working with seniors. It's so draining when you click on an About Me for an artist and have to read a huge piece to find out who they are. - I like the way the colors change and menus pop up to make the whole thing super easy to navigate. It shows clearly how to get back and forth from different areas of the page. - I LOVE how she has a contact form right on her contact page. It eliminates the errors that can happen from copying and pasting an email address, etc. Dislikes -One thing I don't like is that when you click on the Fashion section, it takes you to a portion of her blog instead of a seperate page, and feels like updated. I would like to be taken to a page that shows a more cohesive collection of her fashion work, rather then having to click through blog posts. - Her senior website only has one image on the homepage. I would like to see a slideshow going through images on the homepage. - I think she needs more images in her senior galleries. She only has about 10 in each one, and I feel like its better to have around 20 to get a well rounded view of style. - Her logo at the top cuts into the faces of some of the people in her images, and completely takes the attention off of the image. - When you move the mouse off of what you have selected to look at, it disappears, which does make the navigation a little confusing.

I like the minimal background and setup. There are only a few categories which keeps the website simple and focused. I like how images of the work is presented but you can choose to look closer by clicking on the thumbnails. I don't like how the about me is a pdf download. I wish I could simply read it on the page itself and then choose to download it if I wish. The slideshow effect is nice but too fast and when I click on the side arrows they move the thumbnails along the bottom and don't change the big image.

Pros: 1.Has a very personal feel. 2.Gallery is easy, and every thumbnail doesn't change size with mouseover. 3.Friendly interface, not in any danger of being confusing. Cons: 1.Clicking on an image makes it awkwardly cover the rest of the page and you must use the back button to get out of it. 2.Automatic slideshow, moves fast with no pause button. 3.Typos/grammar mistakes.

Pros: 1. Visually intriguing background that doesn't distract. 2. Clear navigation. 3. Concise information, not overbearing but still gets it's point across. Cons: 1. Slow to switch pages. 2. The slideshow is distracting/confusing ,and only 3 images. 3. Font and background similar colors.

Pros: 1. Very clean, organized design 2. A combination of a portfolio and a marketing tool 3. Options for downloads of galleries, resume, and commission documents. Cons: 1. It's a small, awkward size. I would want my sites larger so there's not so much space hovering around 2. The slideshows of works are too fast 3. The language used (us, we) is that of an employer representing the artists, rather than the artist himself
