I have investigated a variety of illustrators websites.
The first website I have looked at is printmaker Hannah Firmin's. The website is easy to navigate with several links down the right hand side. The main page is simplistic looking, with a plain white background and a summary of how she creates her artwork and examples of her work.
The next webite I looked at was illustrator Martin Haake's. Like Firmin's it also has a plain background, however, on the main page it has news and his recent work. Design wise, this website looks more like that of an illustrators because of the style of the text in the navigation bar at the top, also when you hover over each link, there is a small illustration relating to it.
I then looked at illustrator Henning Wagenbreth's website. The main page of this website is more busy in terms of the amount of images on it, there is also a journal on it. The navigation links are at the top of the page.
The next illustrator's website I looked at was Matthew Carey Simos'. On his website the navigation bar is on the left with an image on the front page. He also has a logo above the navigation bar.The website is very ima g aEbased, there is very little text.
I would like my own website to intrigue the viewer , so I would want the general design of the website to reflect my way of working and at the same time be easy to navigate and have a good balance of text/ images of my work.
