We don’t have many images that people would describe as fashion shots. So we may need to reconsider the portfolio sub menu.
We also don’t have many clients to get comments from, so this page could look a bit empty. The test we did for the client page didn’t feel like it fit with the rest of the website, this may be a consideration for the blog.

The portfolio menu seemed minimal enough, but as we started building the site we realised we don’t have many images that most people would describe as fashion. So we changed the portfolio sections from “Music”, “Fashion” and “Personal” to “Commercial” and “Projects”. This meant that the viewer would clearly be able to distinguish the paid work we had undertaken from the self-directed work.
Both of the links consits of the images that we produced. The “Comercial” link has the promotional images of a band that we recently photographed. The “Projects” links consits of the series of the imagery that we have produced whilst on the MA. We wanted the design of the portfolios to be very simple, a large image accompanied by stationary thumbnail navigation, much like on Michael David Adams portfolio http://www.michaeldavidadams.com/portfolio/beauty1/

When we started building we didn’t have a contact page as we thought we would only have one email address to put on there. As we started building the site the email address at the top of the page was looking messy, so we created a page where we could have email links, and blog links so the viewer can access our joint and individual contact details and blog addresses. Initially it was in the same style as the unsuccessful client page above, but we made it more visual by adding screenshots of our blogs, which fitted with the rest of our site much better. http://vaidaandamy.co.uk/contact.html

We tried building a “Client” page where we could showcase comments about our work from people we have worked with. We soon found that as we have just started we only have a few comments, and it was looking a bit empty, so we have added a comments page to our blog – http://vaidaandamy.wordpress.com/comments/ which people can add their comments to in their own time, and we can filter them before they go live. This will hopefully create a less formal, and friendly feel to the comments page.
