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.

likes layout simple, clean, and white the site is set up like a grid the site feels like a gallery. dislikes there isn't a home button visually i would want my header, ex. lead pencil to line up with the below images including text (left aline). it seems unbalanced  i can assume the list below are all artist apart of the gallery but there is not a title letting me know for sure.

Likes: - I like how the landing page is uniform in the colors and link pictures. It was also nice and simple. - I like how she organizes her galleries by color. I think it's an interesting way to do it and sets her apart from other websites I've seen. - I love how she uses very basic colors and fonts, because her work has such vibrant colors that it allows them to really pop and stand out. Dislikes: - It took FOREVER to load. Even though it had a progress bar, I was getting impatient. - I don't like how the photographs that represent the sections of the gallery cut up into the navigation links. I think its distracting and looks messy. - On her contact page, her contact form cuts off on the very bottom. I think maybe the whole site was having an issue with sizing.

Likes: Compelling main page, text works well with colors. Easy navigation between galleries. Simple bar at bottom. Dislikes: The images are a little small once you enter the portfolio, and there are too many pages to go through to get there. Grey background distracts from images (should be black or white)

likeswhitehome page it directly lets you know what to expect. no searching involved.contact info is simple on the home page then specific on the contact page dislikesbad choice of color for the contact info on the home page. address is hard to see.i don't like how i have to view the artist twice to check out their work.

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.

Likes: - I love the loading bar. It pulls the whole theme of the website together SO well. - I like how the homepage has all the different color images. I think its really fun and is a good overall display of her work. - I like how there are no sublinks. I think it keeps the website really simple and easier to use. Dislikes: - I think the correspondence between the pictures and the links is a little confusing. You can see the links highlight when you click on the pictures, but its still a bit much. - I HATE the music. I think its so cheesy and distracting. - The navigation through the galleries is a little bit confusing because its hard to know how to get from image to image.

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.

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. 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
