kyle's digital portfolio- kyle nystrom is an interior designer, in his digital portfolio he talks about what he's been through to design rooms. i think kyle's portfolio is very interesting because the pictures are appropriately positioned, the colors[background] are dark but it still finds a way to stand out.the pistures display some projects he has worked on.the text that describe the pictures are detailed but only about 5-6 lines.

Maria Barone is a junior designer in new york and she talks about how her life as a designer is going. her portfolio has a lot of really interesting special effects but there arent alot of colors there are only 5 colors highlighting the options. she has no pictures but the fact that she has alot of special effects covers that up.
Tayo,
ReplyDeleteEven though you answered the questions, I think you could have reflected a little more. You mentioned features from the point of view of what you see in the screen. There are more important features to stand out.
Disadvantage.... students distracted? what do you mean? Please check carefully the intention of a DP!
Your comments about the samples visited are reasonable. But you were supposed to visit three, you missed one.
Visiting DPs gives you ideas on what to include in your own Portfolio and how to present it so it is not boring, and it looks professional.
What is a good balance? what colors should you use? Is it important to have a navigation bar? The more sites/DPs you visit the more ideas you have!
