Website research

While making my website, I found 3 sites that I like. These pages inspire e to create my own. 

The first is Gucci.com. This is the website of a luxury clothing manufacturer. I like the simple design of the website. The navigation bar is easy to read. There are a lot of sub-categories. I prefer fewer categories on my website.However, everything is understandable. Additionally, when the cursor enters the navigation bar, it changes its color to black, which makes it easier to read. New products are shown on the main page. There are links to an online store where you can buy clothes. The photos are, in my opinion, very professionally made. Photographs made in vintage style. The photos are not too big and are perfectly placed on the website. However, I do not see information about the company's history. Probably the creators did not provide this information because it is a company with an established position and reputation. The website uses a sans-serif font which is very legible. I also use these fonts on my website. At the very bottom of the main page we have Stories, a kind of blog. What I like the most is that the website is simple and legible.


Another page I like is the website of the photographer I like and appreciate. I watch his videos on Youtube. I like his style. His name is Manny Ortiz. His website can be found at this address: manuelortizphoto.com.  His internet site is very simple. His photo gallery is limited to the home page. There are two more categories of presets and tutorials. Which are the products he sells. Unfortunately, there is no information about him, which I don't like. Not everyone needs to know him, so it would be worth finding out something on his website. Once again, I like the simplicity of the website. However, in this case, I think there is not enough information. Not enough galleries for the photographer's website. On my website I want to have a more extensive gallery divided into categories of photos that I do. The footer at the bottom describes that the author will create a website with Squarespace, a website builder. It does not look professional to me. It should change that. I change it on my side.


Another page I like is Pedrontheworld. The main page makes an impression on me. I like the photos that cover the entire screen and the navigation menu in the middle. I like the slides on the main page. And also galleries similar to Instagram. The only thing I would change on this page are the fonts. I believe that the author of the website could choose better and more readable fonts. I think that the creator could change the logo to a more interesting and original. I like that the author of the website made a bookmark where he placed the clients he worked with.  It is completely unsuccessful to combine information about the author wit a contact page. It is a big mess and I would separate it on my website.

    You made a good start on this and it is great you have looked at the navigation, fonts and layout. However, this is incomplete. As mentioned in class, you needed to look at two websites, not three. You need to compare the two websites, by looking at not only the home page, but the about me page, contact me page and the gallery page.

Promoting Myself to Employees: Target Market

In this post I wanted to focus on finding a job as a photographer. So I did some research on job offers in the UK.  Promo film on wix.com I looked through a dozen or so advertisements for jobs as a photographer and selected the most important skills. 1. A creative spirit 2. Proficiency with photographic principles 3.The ability to use a variety of cameras and lenses 4.To stay current with evolving technology 5. The capacity for meeting deadlines 6. A keen sense of shape, color, and form 7. Effective communication abilities 8. Expertise with digital technology and imaging programmes 9. Effective organisation techniques 10. A strong portfolio  11. Social media skills Looking through the offers, I noticed that many employers are looking for people with experience. As an additional skill for the photographer, it is expected that he/she will also be able to shoot and edit films. In the future, I would like to develop my photographic skills even more, as well as learn how to shoot and edit f

Architecture photography

A week ago we were taking pictures of architecture in the city of Leicester. We went for a 2 hour walk around the city. Below I put a contact sheet and a selection of four photos. All photos were taken with Nikon Z6 camera with Sigma Art 35 mm 1.4 lens. I like the first photo because of the interesting building painted in stripes. I also like the reflection of the light from the skyscraper that is behind in the background.     35mm  F/10  1/200 s ISO 100 For the next picture I liked the inscription on the street, I took this picture vertically. The street was empty                               35mm  F/8 1/200 s ISO 100 The next photo shows the facade of the building, which is made of interesting metal window sills.      35mm  F/8  1/50 s  ISO 100 I liked the last photo I chose not only because of the architecture but also because of the light coming from between the buildings.     35mm  F/8  1/160 s ISO 100

Ideas Generation

My project stems from my frustration. I often cycle around Leicester City. I love nature and I love being outdoors. What scares me is a lot of rubbish lying on the streets. I often see young people throwing garbage on the street. This is a common phenomenon in the UK. I do not like this. Rubbish in Leciester is everywhere. There are even plastic bottles floating in the canal. This problem needs to be shown and people must be made aware of the great evil they are doing. I have visited many countries in my life. I have a comparison to, for example, Switzerland. It is one of the most beautiful and clean countries in the world. Being there one feels at peace and is happy. My idea is to create a virtual dramatic photo story. Where the main character dies, overwhelmed by the fact that there is garbage everywhere. The title of my project is "A sad story about littering" Pexels.com
