Pros:
1 Call me a minimalist, but I think with online academic portfolios --less equals more. These example speaks to that.
2 Simple sidebar navigation with links to PDF CV/ Portfolio. Everything is easy to get to and download if need be.
3 Images standalone to let the work do the convincing. Additionally, even the text is transparent to distract less from images/ work.
4 The idea of putting the title at the bottom right corner is intriguing, settle, and sexy...a slick move indeed!
Cons:
None!
Pros:
1 Home Page is simple but still vivid enough. RMJM does a good job of supplement images with sexy text and background colors. Very Professional!
2 There is a good hierarchy of title and subtitle with equally interesting category titles.
3 Overall layout is clean and easy to navigate.
Cons:
1 The site uses only a fraction of the entire window spread, images could be larger.
2 Sub title text is too small.
Pros:
1 Simple clean layout with easy straight forward navigation. Layout does a good job at allowing the images to stand alone/ be the focus.
2 Horizontal animation gives nice flair to site and images!
Cons:
1 Too little description and not statement of intentions of philosophy.
