My Portfolio on the iPad
May 3, 2010 by gholubowicz · Leave a Comment
Since the iPad has been released, I was wondering how my portfolio would look like on the new Apple device. It was a huge disappointment when I realized the Home page didn’t display any of my pictures because of the flash gallery I was using.
Apple and Adobe are fighting over the flash technology since a while now, and we now know for sure there’s no chance at all we can use flash on the iPad. I couldn’t let my website being out of the “Apple” universe. The device is great and I’m pretty sure a lot of photo editors will use it at home or at the office to consult pro portfolios. I also strongly believe in open standard such as HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript which are going to be widely implemented in our websites in the coming years. So I’ve made different technical improvements to be available on the iPad and to have a cross browser compatibility.
A couple of month ago, I’ve developed a series of WordPress templates for photographers, so I decided to redesign my website around a customized version of the Senseetiv Ying Template which has a JavaScript slideshow on the Home page and a CSS3 style sheet. I also followed the Safari Technical notes to be sure everything was working properly and tested the result on the AdobeLab. The result is great!
If you wanna have that kind of portfolio, please visit www.o2creation.org, or email me at info@o2creation.org for a customized template.
UPDATE: when I read this http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/05/apple-ipad-reaches-one-million-sold-twice-as-fast-as-iphone/I guess it was the right move…
New Portfolio launched!
September 22, 2009 by gholubowicz · Leave a Comment
Here it is! Today, I officially launch my new website/portfolio/hub.
After months of work, and a lot of design studies I think I found the best way to promote my pictures.
A Flash/WordPress platform
Inspired by the New York Times’s blog [Lens], I used a wordpress CMS, to easily update the website and two different flash galleries for the interactive behavior. I radically changed the design color (from a deep black to a soft grey/white) and improved the social implementation. I wanted to keep the flash experience – like a fullscreen toggle button, an embedded flash movie, an intuitive navigation – and maximize the SEO.
Photoshelter integrated
This portfolio is fully working with my Photoshelter archives. At the top of the website, you’ll find a search box connected to my PS archives. All pictures available in my archives, used with the slideshow on the main page are linked. If you like a picture on the main page, click on it, and you’ll be redirected to the proper archive page! Soon this concept will be extended to all portfolio pages.
Download, share and comment!
The green button on the main page allows you to download a sample of my portfolio and my contacts. You can keep it for your records or share it with your colleagues or friends.
At the bottom of each page, you’ll find a social tool to spread the words about what you seen, let your comments or print directly.
