Some aspects from tutorials with Pauline and various students' ideas for refining and improving my website.
These notes include issues with overcrowding, and finding ways to create a cleaner, more spacious website by allowing certain works to have their own page or having their own section within a page. Also, we discussed making a website that reflects me as an artist. This meant making it a queer website. To do this I needed my website to be a little quirky and 'low-budget'. I did not want my website to look like a photocopy of every other artist website. This is difficult to do as there has to be some basic pages, basic information and navigation tools in order for the website to be a functioning artists' website. I think the black background suits and supports my work far more than a clean white one. I also wanted to use the collage format for presenting my work on the 'works' page. This is atypical, as most websites will have the large photos of individual works chronologically slide across the screen. I was planning on reorganising the page to crate sections but chose not to as I also wanted the contemporary digital aesthetic and so chose to use very little capital letters in my titles of pages to mimic the informal written text on the internet.
