How to get a photography grant - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Site Clinic: Easy to Navigate Equals Easy To Buy - 0 views

  • Navigation: Which one do I use and where in the world do I start?Research shows that confusing navigation is the number one way to lose customers. If people have a hard time finding their way around your website, they're just going to give up and leave. And when you have great products that really sell themselves like Brainwaves does, you don't want your navigation to get in the way of a sale. When you enter on the Brainwaves homepage, there are three different ways to navigate the site. There is a global horizontal bar organized by age group. There's a global vertical bar that's not particularly organized at all and mixes functional (shop by price, age) with topical. And there's another featured section in the middle that is also organized by topic, some of which are in the left sidebar and some that aren't. The housekeeping links such as about us and contact are buried in the footer. While they need to be there, they also need to be more prominent "above the fold" (visible without having to scroll).With the variety of toys for sale on Brainwaves, I like the idea of having two sets of navigation: one for age and one for toy category. It seems sensible that people would use one of those two systems to browse. However, they should be kept entirely separate from each other. Research also shows that users scan web pages, and won't bother to look at lists with more than 5-7 links. If you have more than that, break them up into categories and subcategories that are logical and easy to scan. Always keep your customers in mind; organize your navigation in a way that makes sense to them, call each link what they would call it ("educational toys" takes visitors to the home page, so call it "home"!), and make it easy to scan and browse. If you aren't sure if your organization or labeling (words in the links) make sense to your customers, test it! Find a friend who is in your target market and ask his/her opinion.

    + project navigation on the left and project images on the right is simple and intuitive and project images are a great size. + Variation of media such as video with images creates an interactive feel + Project text on left is a good size and about the optimal amount (verging on the lengthy side however) - Navigation buttons to switch between different images in a project are not as intuitive and harder to find - Direct posting of project boards instead of individual images make site less engrossing - The web design is light on unique details, and therefore it is hard to get a sense of the personality of the artist from exploring the webpage (the about section is also very short)

    + Beginning animation is unique and grabs viewers interest and loads quickly + Photo collage provides visual information about the projects and creates a unique aesthetic + Loosely organized navigation makes exploring the site more exciting and allows for opportunities for discovery + Artist's eclectic and creative personality comes across with the website design - Sometimes difficult to find and somewhat unintuitive links can be confusing - Abstract project categories can make navigating to a particular page or interest difficult - Lack of color at main project navigation creates a somewhat bland aesthetic

    three good things: great monochromatic design beautiful, relative and expression within images/photographs little text  three poor things: click to enter website, then click again to get info (could just get rid of first click) some images seem too minimal (not worthy) hard to find information and specifications

    3 things I found appealing about this portfolio: I liked the captivating image for the backdrop. It's the first thing that catches your eye, and links an immediate and strong message to the audience.  I liked the simplicity of the text and the drop down menu options.  I liked how the quote on the home page. 3 things I did not find appealing about this portfolio: I thought there could have been a bit more color to the portfolio I wanted to see more testimonials A map to the location of the business would have been helpful

    Good: 1. The buttons and navigation style is cartoony and interesting, which gives a feel for this guy's personal aesthetic in his work. 2. After clicking a tab (for medium of work), there's a visible list of the content on that page that is shown on the left. 3. There's buttons on left content bar to navigate through pages, but also at the top to navigate through sub-sections of the content (e.g. multiple ads for a single ad campaign). Bad: 1. The content info at the top of his page uses a font that I don't think matches his illustrated/stylized font. It only sticks out because it's the only area of the page that uses different font. 2. After clicking on a link from his home page, you can't get back onto the intro page unless you shorten/modify the URL. 3. When the content list on the left side of the page contains many things, it's annoying to have to scroll to find the last page you viewed after clicking on a single piece.

    DISLIKES... - The Autoplay Music: with other running media, it became really distracting & i became more focused on looking for a way to turn it off. Could potentially make a person exit the website - More Descriptive Home: unlike other online portfolios, they usually state "portfolio" or "photography" or something, just to give an indicator as to what the website is. For his portfolio, there is no such description which would be nice to see - Details?: navigating through his site, his work is categorized, however there are not descriptions as to what the "advertising" was for. Even something as simple as "Canadian Hockey Nike Campaign" would have been nice. - About Him: It would have been nice to know a little bit about him (hometown or even the type of work he does) - No Back: Once you click somewhere, there's no real going back. LIKES... - Black & White: gave a sophistication to where I could see some sort of aesthetic in Chris' work. - The Rollover Effect: navigating through the work, there are thumbnails that you rollover and change opacity & starts to zoom out. I thought that was a really interesting effect that made me want to see more of the photo - Simplicity: his portfolio is really simple, which I find pleasing because it's easy to navigate & doesn't have clutter to distract from his photos - Music Choice: although I found the music distracting, his selection created a nice ambiance to his portfolio & created a "personality" to where I could start to get a feel as to who he was. - Use of Nav Buttons: I like how you can instantly flip through photos

    Likes: 1. Pages showing art use the artwork as their background, which is attractive 2. Description of art is clear and out in the open--not hard to find, and readable 3. There are two thumbnail options to click on: to view the full piece of art, and to view a zoomed-in photo (nice to be able to see detail) Dislikes: 1. Trajan font is overused, and the rest of the fonts don't work very well together... 2. The links in the "artists" section don't lead anywhere... 3. Navigation between artwork pages is confusing--doesn't give much direction.

James Kronzer: Scenic Designer Portfolio - 2 views

    In this portfolio it is mostly visual with very few words. This style of portfolio allows his work to do all of the talking. To me it was very powerful and bold. What I liked best about this portfolio: 1.It is quick and easy to navigate 2. The photos are captivating and large so you know what you are looking at 3. The landing page is clean, precise and different then others I've seen (it looks professional). 4. When you glide over the elongated photos of the works he has been involved in, large white titles show up to tell you right away what file you are about to open. Example: photo of the production Cinderella, hover your curser over the image and click! Now you have several more photos to look at, all on the production of Cinderella 5. The main menu is large and bold, always visible. 6. There is a small text that shows up "move your mouse over me" encouraging the host to explore and help navigate the site. 7. I like that there are current projects he is working on, he includes awards he has won and he has both a contact page and a resume (that you can download) My suggestions of changes this portfolio could have are: 1. It could use more text, all I see is the work, but where are his ideas and contributions (his experiences in this field?) 2. Does he draw his designs or make models, how does he work? 3. I did not see an about page-what is he like? 4. There is nothing too personal about him. For example: no picture. 5. Resume is all one size and same color of text, nothing jumps out at you. 6. His name and title could be larger (on each page). Because as you scroll down you loose his name and then you ask your self who's work am I looking at again, because this is good and I want him to work for me! (although all you have to do is scroll up or click on the back button to return to menu... there his name is prominently displayed again) Overall: It was very hard to find anything that this portfolio needs to change because I really like what James has done with

    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.

    After waiting for the loading bar, I'd rather see the main table of contents rather than having to click another button. The contents layout is great, it could use Patrick's name at the top though. I find it annoying to have to click on the title of the open gallery to close it before being able to open another title tab. I'd rather just be able to switch directly.
