PODS Digital Portfolio

+ 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. 

+ 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

I like the blog feature as it creates a more personal addition to the site. I like how there are links to other companies he's worked with. I also like how it provided an easily facilitated way to contact him I didn't like how there was a home page which didn't really have anything on it. It had images of work but those are all in the projects section as well. I didn't like waiting for images and the site to load as well as having to search for the tabs to the categories as they kept moving around.

Logical horizontal navigation bar, wide range of work demonstrates abilities, Projects provide the right amount of information Slide show on home page flashes too fast, contact and downloads page too redundant, it takes too many clicks to get to the images of a project

Projects provide the right amount of information, wide range of work demonstrates abilities, Horizontal navigation bar is easy to use It takes too many clicks to get to project images, site loads too slowly, About page is hard to understand

I like the -easy navigation -blog component -address leads to a map of their location I don't like -the next/previous buttons are hard to find -the projects aren't defined when hitting the next/previous buttons -the layout doesn't take full advantage of the space

What I like... - Be able to scan the overall works on a single page - A brief information with a couple of pictures on the first page helps me choose what I want to see - Fast move to each page What need to be improved... - It requires to scroll down a lot - Not enough additional information and images when moving into each project page (the amount of information seems almost same as the first page shows) - Not a strong Header - Related images of each project are not connected to each other but show up separatedly

very clean aesthetic, perfect amount of information about each project (not even complete sentences), all black and white pictures makes for very good consistency A little hard to go backwards, some of the projects take too long to load, there isn't a contact or about page

very simple navigation, contact information super accessible (it's right on the home page), pages load super fast Project images are way too small, some of the links are unclear what they do (sundries??), The projects could use just a bit of text to explain what they are (They lack all text)
