Description Hi!

My newest work is a photographer's blog made for [link] Thanks mate! It's supposed to be some kind of template for a couple of photographer's so I decided to give them one color and leave the rest almost the same.

My inspiration was black and white photos frequently taken by photographers.

Font used: Journal, Fh_Space
Photos used: photos on the main page was taken by Kuba Dabrowski ([link] ) and I used them only for the need of design.
Great bg wood: [link]

Photographers Blog is a nice looking and inspiring
design. It has a calming and yet playful touch. A
watcher of this website would not only be impressed
by all the elements in display, he or she would actually
start reading the content due to the amazing design it's
in.

Many details make you want to take a closer look, and it
takes a while before you have explored every little bit,
thats a good thing, because you won't get bored.

Unfortunately the design is too big for a website.
With a width of 1900px it is just to big for the most common
computer screens (unless you use your HD-TV as a computer screen)... A lot of those nice looking
elements get lost when you are watching it with a
1024 by 768 screen resolution (and also with a 1440 resolution).

I also don't get why there is a "splash page" (the 1st one on top). It does not give any extra value to the website.
I can also imagine that this would take a lot of time
to load the page with so many images. It's great for
visitors with a high speed internet connection, but for
those with a 28kb/s connection it's going to be a long long wait.

To bad there is no image gallery... I would have wanted to
see just a little bit more.


In General:

Nice looking design.
Great details.
Too big design, not so good on lower resolution screens.

First of all, thanks for the critique. I really appreciated that And you're right people with 1024x768 screen won't see much detail, but they still be able to use this site.

First image is not a splash screen but a visualization of diffrent color use in "logo".

Once again thanks

I'm with ArchGrafix on this one. The design is great, but not very functional overall. The content blocks are too limiting and photographers like to gush about how awesome they are. This site to me looks more like a graphics guy's portfolio site where each piece has it's own merit whereas photographer's sites the merit is in the body of work. Check out the "lauren clark photography" blog as a reference for block details. A side note, this design doesn't resemble anything in your clients gallery or fav's - you might be working too hard to satisfy your own design aesthetic (which, to reiterate, is still impressive!).

nice idea ... but u should change typography on subpages because it looks strange when u're putting that nice style with that "arial" [or whatever it is...]

Very nice. Love the black and white contrast too. I think it'll be even better if the blue square was smaller, John Doe's typography size.

I love the design but wonder if it will function well as a blog since most blog readers are use to being able to scroll down for the whole story...the actual blog space looks small; unless I'm missing something.

wnek In reply to ArchGrafix [2010-04-27 00:59:00 +0000 UTC]

You're absolutely right. It's only a conception of one entry, the one I liked most, but it's easy to set text on one side and titles of older entries on the other, anyway thanks
