Misguided #1
Your portfolio website design isn't a place for creative expression — your art is.
Don’t distract from your work.

Dumb ideas. #1
Having a portfolio or blog with a black background and white type. Readability is reduced and using black is a gimmick to make your art look better than it really is.
Don't fool yourself.

A blog is not a portfolio website.
Today we were pointed to some paintings by an artist friend. The paintings were wonderful at least best we could tell. The images were a bit small. We were distracted by buttons to follow or like, photos of friends, and the most ugly and disturbing of all — paypal buttons.
Dear artists, blogs are not portfolio websites.

Our new design sports a very light neutral gray background. We've added a thin white border around the images to help keep the color saturation from being dulled where it meets the background.

new design release : stone with featured artist Jaume Pinya
Heavybubble has released a new design called stone.
The new design includes a text option on the gallery opener. Artist Jaume Pinya of Majorca, Spain uses it to provide an description in both Catalan and English. The gallery view uses a smaller view of an entire art work. Each gallery screen contains only four images/works and includes links to the next and previous four images. The design centers in browser window.
Mr Pinya cleverly used a gallery opener to create a statement screen that included two photos.
