This week we have focused on maintaining and updating our websites. With my recent work in my MA project, I really felt a need to update and reorganize my galleries.
A few changes I've made are: culling through my work to ensure I have a slimmer selection of images, so the galleries are not overwhelming. And as I have been focusing on different areas in each module, I wanted to separate each trip, so they would have their own space much like a new chapter in a book. I felt having all the work in one place was a bit too much and made the gallery feel cluttered and chaotic. Though I really like this template because it's simple and easy to view on an array of devices, the customizations for the galleries are very limited and I wanted to reduce the number of times the user would have to click through images or links to view specific parts of the project.
Another reason for separating my work by module is that my work has been evolving and the style has been changing throughout the lifecycle of this project. This made me feel that my work, especially form Sustainable Prospects, would be best viewed separately from the rest.
When it comes to work outside of my MA ( I have personal work on this website, and professional, work in collaboration with Mae Frances on Dust + Grit.) I like to keep very clean and simple galleries, that showcase my best work, which I will also update over the next few weeks.
