To construct and modify layout for the website I am going to create I needed to discover and research other artsit websites and study the layouts. This helped me gather ideas of how a professional website should look and therefore I could base my website upon these. The two websites I used to research were:
- Eagle gallery artists
- John Bucks Sculpture
The Eagle gallery artists website was a website based around paintings and drawings. The layout of this website was particularly helpful. This is because it was a professional website but also very simple at the same time. For example, the layout and navigation was easy to get used to because it had a tooldbar down the right hand side of the page where all the aoptions were located. These options were in black bolf font ans were easy to read therefore making navigation easy. The website was easy to look at aswell becasie it had large images and samples of painting that the website produce which scrolled across the screen. The characteristics of this website really helped me decide what I wanted my website to look like and I gathered many ideas from this.
The second website I researched was John Bucks Sculpture, which was based more around abstract art and sculptures. This I particularly liked this website purely becasue of the home page. The is a centrepeice of art and then the title "John Buck Sculpture" in the middle of the page just below. There is a timeline style navigation bar at the bottom of the page where you can choose from a range of options like "contact us" and "gallery". This gave me a few more ideas of the pages i should include in my website. Another idea I used was in the gallery page. This had an option where you could hover over the artwork and it would enlarge and appear on the right. This is a good example of interactivity that I would like to include in my website.
