A good art portfolio is a showcase. The design shouldn’t call attention to itself with flashy colors and novel navigation. Instead, it should use white or dark space to frame portfolio pieces.
Remember: clients are coming to your portfolio to look at your art— not your web design. So keep things simple and focused.
Tip: Use ← and → arrow keys to browse.
