Website

I decided to use a different platform to what was advised by the college. Wordpress is complicated and takes too long. Cargo collective is a platform that links you to other works and artists, so is more likely for other people to see your work.


Having taken influence from other jewellery artists pages like Lauren Kalman and Ted Noten (see below) I decided to keep a crisp white background and design minimal.

Here are some pages from my professional webpage which you can find at http:www.http://cargocollective.com/meganfrancesbaker




 
 






Photoshop Skills for Website


 Photoshop.

Having used the correct equipment - Light tent, SLR camera, lights and acrylic white background.
This is the quality of image I received even when tweaking the white balance, contrast etc etc...



 So.. I turned to Photoshop.

With a little help of cooling the photo down and playing with the balance and contrast I created quite crisp quality images for my website.

I need to further my knowledge of jewellery photography. I may purchase some books when my dissertation is over.
