Photo Finalists

I have narrowed it down to these four pictures. I would still like to edit them to remove some of the busy information in the background and make the colors look more consistent. The brand I have decided on is Match.com which I feel works well with these photos and is somewhat unexpected from the original subject chosen.

Website of the Week 2!

This is not a company website, but rather a person's portfolio who works at Blue Sky Studios. There is not much work currently up on the site, but if you look under animation, there is his Flash reel which is unbelievable. It really shows you the full capabilities of Flash as an animation program, not only for websites. Additionally, if you look under the links page, there are links to several other animators amazing Flash portfolios. Enjoy and don't be jealous of how amazing they are!

Website of the Week!

http://www.aka-advertising.com/

I felt this website accomplished something that many websites struggle with: the concept of usability vs. a cool design. I found this website fascinating to watch and search through, while at the same time found it easy to navigate. Additionally, I thought the company's actual work was very impressive. My only critique is that due to the complexity of the website, the loading time was long.

I am pleased with how my photographs came out, but if I had to do it all over again, I would spend even more time setting the stage, playing closer attention to objects in the background and the lighting of the room, and giving my actress more direction. This was difficult considering I didn't know what the end result of my project would be.
