Artist website research

www.calluminnes.com

- Initial opening page:  immediately shown images of artists work and studio
- Gives categories of various aspects of the artists practice in the form of an easily navigated drop-down list.
- Minimal clear layout with artwork date and navigator arrows below the photographs.
- No large paragraphs of introductory writing on the home page (or anywhere), instead there is an automatic slide show of alternating images that doesn't require the viewers 
participation to move.

- I sketched the basic format of each homepage to give a clear view of the key components that make up the websites.

whitecube.com

- Similar to calluminnes.com with the automatic alternating images as an introductory presentation.
- 'Search' option enabling viewer to locate specifics.
- Contents list at the top of the page; again minimal layout.
- Details alongside image allowing a fast, concise consumption of information.
- Concise list of names the viewer may wish to look at specifically.
- Minimal white background throughout the whole website.
- Consistent layout of various pages throughout.

jamesturrell.com

- 'Artwork; Cartographic Timeline; By Date; By Type' - gives the viewer the option of how they would like to view the work, narrowing/selecting particular aspects they wish to view the work against.
- Think about how to categorise work within my website; will it be random? By date? By size? By type? In a series?
- Homepage: the photographs again alternate automatically, this time filling the whole screen, not as minimal but more engaging and consuming.
