Online Portfolio Ideas | Professional Practise

I have collected artists’/illustrators’ online portfolio, to see how they use the layout, links, and what did they includes.
(All of them are my influence artists and illustrators)
Kristjana S William: www.kristjanaswilliams.com
Her background is a large logo with simple black and white. She included her awards, store, tumblr feed and press. Easy finding the links. Her main page is a bit confusing to me. it’s like the layout a bit scattered around and was not sure what it is about.
Nadia Flower: www.nadiaflower.com
Plain white background. Easy to find the links on the left side. Images of her work on the right side, simple layout. Yet, enter her main page show her client work rather than somewhat personal work. But i quite like her structure.
The web-design Flower using is Format. (http://format.com/l/your_new_portfolio#peak)
Papernoodle (Cheong-ah Hwnag): www.papernoodle.com
Black background made it all dark and feeling not into it, but, with her amazing paper sculpture looks better with black background. Layout is simple but bit boring to me. She includes Flickr and blog, different to anyone’s i’ve seen. The web-design is Weebly.
Nakisha: nakisha.com
I like the banner of her illustration at the top of her online portfolio, neutral background, slideshow of her creative work from the main page. The layout boring and it’s not looking simple style to me.
Caroline Gregson: www.carolinegregson.com
Really like the idea of big photo of her creative work as background and the title for the main page, but it’s scrollable portfolio. There is a tab at the top right corner for the links. The rest of the links from her portfolio, i like a banner of her work in each links. The rest of it, layout, fonts, etc. are simple.
Laura Antebi: www.thewirestudio.co.uk
I really like her wire sculptures but the web-design she using is Smart Multimedia (smartmultimedia.co.uk), looks bit unprofessional and so cheap. i still like the slideshow of her work on the main page though.

The Monarch | Illustration

Image
The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

Image
It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
