Website research - Portfolio website

Website research

Portfolio website




This website has a very simple design layout.  I like how the design uses the image as the background, and how the design follows a simple colour scheme. The typography in this design is very simple and varies between serif and san serif.






This is another example of a very simple design. The only imagery used in this design is the designers logo which acts as a focal point. The design also uses a simple colour scheme using just the two colours blue and white. 





In this example i like the use of whitespace in their design, with the border around the page and using this simple images for the background. Which is what i wanted to incorporate into my design.

In this example i really like how the design has created a simple logo and really would like to incorporate this into my website design. Another thing that i like about this design is the simplistic colour scheme of white and blue.







A lot like the last website example this design has used a square in the centre of the image to showcase their name. This is simple but effective which is what i wanted to base my website design on.

Again this is another example of a simple design that uses a border around the website. I really like the design of the logo in this website and the vintage style that it has.

I find this design interesting as it uses a unique layout. Another thing which i like is the colour scheme that uses white, black and green. This colour schemes used throughout the website.

I like how this design is much different to any websites i have seen, having almost like a magazine look too it.

You cant see this with the screen shot but when on the actual website the background is a video. This is both eye catching and intriguing into what the website is about.

I love the use of negative space and how simplistic this website design is, what is what i really want to base my design on. Another thing which i like about this design is how you can scroll down instead of clicking links.

Again like the folks website this design uses a video for the background giving you a look into the website and catching your attention. Another thing which i like about this design is how the links are placed beneath the logo, positioned to the center of the page.





This is a mood board of all the features i liked from the research.
