SPP3! Exhibition Pack - Image research



I have looked at some web designer portfolio sites to see how they have captured images of their website work for inspiration for my 8 portfolio images as part of this submission.

The first portfolio looked at was http://www.omdesign.co.uk/website-design-portfolio.html :

I love the large image and used on the website for a start and would like to possibly incorporate something similar into my catalogue image. Other image captures include displaying the web page on a slant which works well as it moves away from the conventional. Another is simply using a stricking image used within the work rather than the page itself. Or selcecting a certain section of the page rather than the whole, or finally if the website included print work then a typical portfolio shot of pages laid out as though on a table top.

The second portfolio looked at http://www.danlindop.co.uk/default.html :



This portfolio also uses alot of the same image layouts as the previous. However an image idea used within this portfolio is to simply use the logos from the work rather than an image. This could work for a few images within the main catalogue image, as logos will not really display the work successfully to prospective employees/clients.

Another portfolio viewed was http://www.joystik.co.uk/design-portfolio/design-portfolio.php :



From this portfolio i liked the idea of having 2 larger images with 2 smaller below showing site content. This is a possible layout idea to be incorporated into the catalogue image.

An idea taken from http://www.pixa.co.uk/ was to chose one single site that i feel best displays my design abilities and have one large image of this piece only.



The portfolio http://www.dannyhaines.com/ used the idea of displaying work on an a computer screen which i thought was a nice touch and could maybe be built upon for a layout.
