Format
I decided Cargo wasn't the website for me, though it was the best one I'd used so far, it didn't display my work the way I want it to be. I googled some online portfolio websites and eventually found Format. It was just as user friendly as Cargo, but the themes available were a lot closer to what I wanted my website to be. The minimal theme I went for works on a landscape scrolling function, and allows me to pick and chose which work is viewable on the first page and which is viewable via the drop down menu on the left.
This is definitely the website I like most at this point. It also got me thinking about what kind of work I want to put onto my site. I think one of the drawback of my Cargo website was that I put too much on it; every project I felt had gone well. I need to think about the kind of work I'm making now that I want to continue making in the future. What areas of illustration// other do I want to explore // break into? I think a carefully curated professional web presence will work a lot better than throwing everything I've ever made on there. It'll also help to reflect on my practice and the work I've made so far. I need to thoroughly investigate the areas I want to branch into and work for, and target my website to those audiences.
