About Eyesbound Portfolio Website
Ang Eyesbound usa ka portfolio website nga gidesinyo alang sa usa ka photographer. Ang mga full screen nga hulagway maoy nag-umahan sa panguna nga elemento sa matag panid. Ang mga elemento sa navigation gihimong yano ug mahimong tagoon, aron ang mga litrato dili matabonan. Ang typographic logo gipakita usab sa full screen mode, diin kini mogamay ug mahimong transparent. Itom ug puti lamang ang gigamit, gikan sa logo ngadto sa mga background ug sa typography, aron ang pagpasiugda magpabilin sa mga hulagway. Ang website responsive ug mahimong operahan gamit ang mouse o pinaagi sa arrow keys.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design focuses on the strong imagery of the photographer and emphasizes this by using full screen images as a main detail. The navigation elements are kept simple and it is possible to hide them, so the images will not be covered by them. The typographic logo is displayed in full screen mode as well but scales down and transparentizes. In order to set the focus on the images, the only used colors are black and white.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Responsive web page with always-fullscreen imagery and fullscreen mode in supported browsers.

- Production Technology
- The web design was created in Adobe Photoshop, Realization Tools: Drupal 7, CSS 3, HTML 5, jQuery
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to find a way to display photography online in a new and unseen way. To do so I needed the full screen mode. The technical realization happened to be difficult, since the website is responsive. It does not work on every browser, older browsers do not support the fullscreen mode.
- Research
- I browsed several photographers portfolio websites, both, of famous and not yet discovered photographers and filtered design and layout wise for similarities and differences. Many portfolio pages do not have full screen options. I started to focus on the works. My client does not use his own name to publish his photos, we created sort of a brand for the photos. Then I started to look at fashion, furniture and lifestyle brands. They all put the emphasis on the product. In our case the photography becomes the product, at least presentation wise.
- Inspiration
- The main inspiration came through the photographers imagery. He focuses on architecture and nature motifs with a unique point of view. In preparation for the design, I had a look at several portfolio websites to get a best practice overview. I realized, that the information about the photographer often seems more important than the images. So I focused on the images as a key element.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2014 in Berlin and went live in August 2014. Since then minor iterations are still in progress to present day.
- Operation Flow
- The website can be operated by mouse and keyboard, using arrow keys inside modern browsers. The navigation structure is kept simple, without too many sub pages to the flow flat and the user interested.
