Based on the book [Don't Make Me Think] written by Steve Krug, these
are some of the analyzations I made on my portfolio website:
- Although I am still in process of writing a good description, my
homepage will eventually contain a short description of what my
website will serve as to its viewers. The three goals I have for my
viewers are to have them look at my portfolio pieces, as well as my
resume, and possibly contact me for my work. To reach these goals,
Krug says "know the main things that people want to do on your site
and make them obvious and easy."
- Krug also says that it is important to lead people directly to where
they want to. To meet this criteria, I have directly linked my
navigations to what the viewers might want to see, whether that would
be an identity piece or photographies.
- According to Krug, putting effort to the website is also important.
To show my skills, I have created a homepage that is fun and partially
interactive. Since this is a portfolio website which I am creating to show
off my works and skills, my homepage serves as showing what I can do.
- After the viewer finishes looking at my portfolio pieces, it is possible
that they might want to see my resume and contact me. For this reason,
my resume and contact information are always available on every page
of my website.
Some of the goals that I've tried to reach were, to create a fun and
interesting website that is clean and effective in emphasizing my work.
