OUGD602 - Initial Website Feedback

6B2 / 6D2.

"First impressions are pretty solid, now it's about fine tuning and pushing even harder to get the project lead images to work together. Also, don't be afraid to hold back on the images within each project, that thumbnail style is a bit off-putting in my personal opinion".

With regard to images, they're fine and they function, however it was considered that the photographs don't really show off the work to its fullest.

An extreme example - Brian Cho's fictional rebrand of the BFI. Look at how he's documented the project through images. He uses a variety of approaches to cover all angles, which is great because it removes a reliance on photography (and where he does use photography, it's more as a part of a digital mock-up process). Don't feel like you have to photography things to evidence that you actually made them for your portfolio. It's useful for your degree, but not for what you show the public. It's really hard to photography work to this kind of standard, so start finding new techniques that get you around that.
