A photography grant is a monetary award given to produce original artwork for a specified project. There are several steps to take in order to be successful in receiving a photography grant. First, you must decide the original artwork that you would produce if you were to receive a grant. This must be specific, including where you would go, what you would shoot, how it would be shown, etc. This framework will then allow you to discover what grants you qualify for and which you should apply for. With your criteria in mind, do an extensive internet search to find matches between your outline and the criteria for receiving a grant. You can also find grants in books such as "The complete guide to getting a grant: how to turn your ideas into dollars" by Laurie Blum. The internet and books are key in helping find grants that you qualify for. Once you find grants that fit, you need to find the grant application online or by calling or mailing a request for a grant application. Apply for several grants. This gives you more opportunities in being successful.

likes three colors with good contrast the page feels balanced left to right type face easy flow navigation dislikes header is in the upper right corner face book is way to big it should be a after thought, the weight and size is given equal consideration as the sixinch logo (sad to see)

Glen's portfolio is fun and personal. What a fantastic way to meet future clients and letting them meet you. What I liked best about this portfolio: 1. I immediately love the homepage image and how you interact with it, what a refreshingly new idea that I haven't seen before. 2. When you click on the image you go inside the book bag or you zoom in onto the notebook paper to read the resume. Its fun and inviting. 3. I love that you get a feeling for who this guy is and what he is like. Its personal and friendly. The guy is waving at you, saying hello. 4. I like how everything is black and white until you hover your curser over an area on the drawing like the tie. It all of a sudden gives you a punch of color and a clear definition of what file you might be opening. 5. When you have opened one of the files like his book bag-the photo icons are clean cut and clear, plus the return to homepage is prominent and easy to spot in the upper right hand corner. Easy navigational tools. What could be improved in this portfolio: 1. He could have used some text on his homepage. Like his name and the profession he wants to get into. 2. He could have included a footer. More navigation choices. 3. He could have added different ways the pages morph into one another 4. His Return to Home button is a little too well designed, it is kinda masked, to look like a skeleton to match his portfolio design. It could be even more clearer. 5. In the about me page-he could have given us his name. Overall: This portfolio is flat out Amazing! Making a homepage can be a fun and can be used in an artistic way of introducing your self to your profession. Again it was hard to come up with things Glen could change about his portfolio, because its really good: great use of color to highlight his work and having fun with portfolio.

+shows a lot of personality +great layout +book pages give a real "portfolio" feel -It's not easily read whether or not "page" will turn, user can easily miss it. i would add a clue -I don't like WIX logo all over site, not professional
