Dustybermshot is an online portfolio of David A. Smith. This was an interesting project as David requested a minimalist composition. Minimalist sites are always a challenge to design as the lack of elements require a dynamic solution. When a design is stripped to its bare essentials, emphasis are heavily placed on typography, hierarchy and the grid.
After tossing a few wireframes around, we decided on a simplistic landing page. Keeping to the minimalist style, the motifs of the home page are carried throughout the site. When building the gallery, I implemented a simple shadowbox to add some further dynamism to the page. The idea was to keep all elements simplified in order to place more focus on Davids work.
