Title: Artist's site
Post by: mysticcowboy on December 20, 2005, 03:36:13 AM
I kept trying to make the design more involved, and I think more interesting, but the client basically wanted to show her art work on a plain gray background. Period. The most I could get her to go for was some texture.

The basic design is all CSS. I didn't rework the tables out of the image gallery module.

Nice job!

I would do something about the Resume though, in Dutch we would say "Dat is een lap tekst!"  :lol:
(don't know how to translate that but this is what I mean: to much text to read/show as one piece)

May I ask which gallery did you use?

Shame she only wanted grey! Her paintings are so vibrant.

I like the grey, it sure does makes the paintings more vibrant...

Good point about, "Dat is een lap tekst!" Unfortunately, that is a standard format for submitting to galleries. I'll ask her for a shorter piece and see if she will let me add that as a pdf download.

Or move the resume page more to the right in the navigation

people tend to stat clicking from left to right,
the first page they click on is the bunch of text...

Make it downloadable as pdf is a good suggestion as well, then put some highlights on that page, maybe some colored pictures with it and the download link.
