Olivia did a great job of changing the original WordPress template and ma\"\"<\/a>king it her own. She has a clear, easy to find menu labeled, \u201cexplore,\u201d \u201cportfolio,\u201d \u201cblog,\u201d and \u201cabout.\u201d In the \u201cexplore\u201d page, it would be good to change the link labeled \u201cprojects\u201d to \u201cportfolio\u201d since it goes to the portfolio page. I would get rid of the \u201crecent posts\u201d link as well as \u201carchives\u201d since these are features more associated with blogs instead of websites. It may also be good to categorize the \u201cportfolio\u201d tab into classes or types of programs like \u201cIllustrator\u201d and \u201cPhotoshop.\u201d I would also consider moving the \u201cabout\u201d tab beneath the \u201cexplore\u201d tab since viewers usually like to know about the person before viewing their work; also, this would also be good since the first thing on the main page is \u201cabout.” Changing this would keep the order consistent in the menu tab.<\/p>\n

Olivia created her portfolio around WSU\u2019s colors of crimson and grey. This looks really good and also shows how much she manipulated the original template. She also changed the color of the text to fit with her color scheme, while still choosing a color that was readable. One recommendation I have would be to change the font into a san-serif font. This would be more readable and make the site look more modern.<\/p>\n

Olivia used hierarchy <\/a>on her website especially on her main page where she displayed a picture of herself, then projects, and then her blog. This order makes since because it is in order of importance. In \u201cThe Principals Of Design,\u201d<\/a> John Lovett explains how contrast plays a big part in design. Olivia used this technique when she contrasted the crimson background against the white text background and then the black text. She also used repetition on her home page with the square pictures. I may consider adding one more picture associated with the \u201cblog\u201d link. You could find something online with a creative commons license or a picture that you took yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
