Assignment 1: Design Analysis, Domain Name
Assignment 1: Design Analysis, Domain Name
On your blog make a short list of at least 3 websites that you might want to emulate and include at least 3 screen captures and short text, analyzing the designs. How do you navigate around the site? How is the logo positioned? Style of typography?
Why do you like these sites and what elements would you use in yours? What size in pixels are the sites, what size are photos? Is it scaleable?
Choose a hypothetical domain name for your site .What hosting site will you use for your final website?
I like this website because it is more unique compared to the other websites you see out there. The navigation bar is found on the bottom which I found super interesting. The logo on this website is placed top middle of the site. This website has a traditional style serif.
I think the elements that I can use for my own website is the fact how the images are placed. I like how the images are placed very large in the middle, the different sizes of the images. The images on this I also really enjoyed the fact that the images are used like thumbnails. If you scroll over one of the images on the home page, it says, "NEW WORK", "PORTFOLIO" Etc.
The element I'd like to take away from this website is the element of how the photos can be used as navigation around the website. I think it adds a little something more than just a plain navigation bar at the bottom.

The navigation bar of this website is located on the left hand side. The logo of the website is placed at the left hand side. The typography that is used on this website is a sans-serif.
I really enjoyed a lot of aspects of this website. I really like the minimalist design of this website. The white and grey design really allows the photography on the website to speak for itself. The photos on this website are all the same size, which I feel is really pleasing to the eye. The images are scalable on this website. I also like how the website also for easy navigation on the bar at the left hand side.
I think the element I'd take away for my own website, it the minimalist design. For my own website like this one, I'd like the photography to speak for itself. I'd like my own website to incorporate the colours of whites, blacks and greys.

This website incorporates a lot of traditional aspects. Like the navigation bar being all the way at the top. Also the the logo on this website is located on the top left of this website. The logo of this website is simple and to the point incorporating the photographer's first and last name.
I really enjoyed the design of this website, how the home page has a big beautiful photograph that the photographer took herself. I also really enjoyed that there is a quote from the photographer herself, it adds a nice touch to the website.
I think the element I'd like to take away for my own website is having a large beautiful image of my as the home page. Also include my tagline on the front page.
Hypothetical Website name:
dalianardolillophoto.ca
or
nardolillophotography.ca
(both available)
I'd probably use WIX to build my website because I am more comfortable with the format.
