Art portfolio requirements tip

Since your art portfolio website will often be someone’s first introduction to your work, you need to make a strong and memorable impression. You might be tempted to include every piece of art you’ve done to show versatility, but it’s in your best interest to exclude any work that isn’t your best. You want your viewers to want to see more, not to feel overwhelmed by a website that is too busy or distracts from the work itself.

Pay attention to how other artists approach things like their About Me and gallery pages. Make note of what works and what doesn’t, and use that information to inform the design choices you make when creating your own artist portfolio.

Art portfolio design ideas for multidisciplinary artists

It can be challenging to decide on a layout for your art portfolio website, especially if you work in a variety of mediums or styles. The last thing you want is for your site to be overwhelming to visitors, so try separating your work into medium, and then have sections within that for individual projects or themes to make it easy to navigate.

About Larry Werner

Larry Werner's work is greatly influenced by where he lives. It's inspired by nature, the ocean, and finding beauty in the worn, distressed, rust scarred pieces of wood he collects on the beach. Larry is drawn to the "ugly" stuff. He doesn't cut or alter any of the wood but keeps it the exact way I found it. He finds a real sense of satisfaction in utilizing something most people tend to ignore and putting it together in a different context to create something new and unique.

Artist website design ideas for photographers

If you’re a photographer capturing large images with a lot of detail, like landscape photos or fine art photography, you might want to choose a website template that allows you to show your photos uncropped. This can be achieved by using a vertical scroll portfolio template that accommodates full width images. For landscape photos, consider grouping them into categories like location, theme, or date.

Art concept ideas for illustrators

A great way to make your artwork stand out is by showcasing how it looks in real life. One way that you can achieve this is by creating photo mockups of your art on the wall of a home or museum or even as a mural on the side of a building. Just make sure that you’re clear about these images being mockups, especially if you’re playing with the scale of your art. You could also do a photoshoot with your art to create a memorable artist photo for your artist bio or About Me page.
