​​Idea and concept is nicely focused and creative. Clear structure that allows the user to focus more on each one.
​​Creating an interface that is more user friendly, since the text is so big and spaced out it can be very easy to forget about the images.
​​Dig into your archive for more detail.
​​Really interesting how you separated both public and environments.

  • ​​Whole site is well refined with the minimal aesthetic
  • ​​Consistency with photography makes a pleasant viewing experience and highlights the food
  • ​​Lets the content speak for itself, makes it clear how you’re supposed to interact with it
  • ​​Maybe dividing the details of food to go deeper into the content
  • ​​Have an opportunity to “surprise” the user, maybe your own thoughts on some food
  • ​​Integrate the title of the project as the “home” link instead of saying “home”
  • ​​Experience with cropping the images closer in the thumbnails
  • ​​Play with the order/spacing of the grid
  • ​​The order/repetition of the photos raises questions from the users - wanting an explanation of personal aspects like whether or not the food changed your mood in a tupperware compared to being plated
  • ​​Make “home” link on bottom position: fixed for users to see it the whole time while scrolling
  • ​​

  • ​​Maybe incorporate a summary at the end of you own thoughts/end notes on the project
  • ​​Navigation - hamburger to allow user to navigate in their own way
  • ​​Graphic language fits the sims but still feels different and complementary 
  • ​​Bringing in hand drawn moments to define the two voices more.

  • ​​Nice concept – brings in artists’ work to convey that
  • ​​Consider a different way to show pop-up (i.e. resizing) or giving it a different treatment rather than covering the gallery 
  • ​​Pop-up is too big? Create a clearer distinction for the user to close the pop-up?
  • ​​The integration of the germ design with the gallery is nice. 
  • ​​Consider a background colour that compliments the majority of your images. Or even a way for the user to view the image only, so there’s not always a large piece of text fighting with the image. 
  • ​​The gutters make the images feel boxed in – maybe rework to have more intention (smaller to match the margins)? 
  • ​​Maybe shorten image captions?

  • ​​Grid gallery works well but images could be clickable to make it ore intuitive
  • ​​Back to top button would be helpful
  • ​​Condensing the index so that the image and captions are in the window together
  • ​​More intentional navigation
