Project 4: Research


The online artist portfolio that I've found that I like the most is that of my 2-Dimensional Foundations instructor, Anthony Fontana. I like his online portfolio mostly because it has a wide range of his works and gives great examples of the types of art mediums and things that interest him. Also he has space to show artwork of his students. As far as the actual website layout goes, I think it has a good layout that is easy to navigate and visually appealing with a modest, but interesting color scheme that stays constant throughout the different pages on the site. I like that to showcase his visual work, he uses a Picasa slide show instead of having a bank of links to the images alone. Also, what I like the most is the scrolling marquee on the top of the homepage that shows preview thumbnails of all of the work that you can find on his portfolio.
