No Pattern

No Pattern is Chuck Anderson's design studio and art. One of the first things I admired about this online portfolio is that multiple projects are immediately visible upon opening the website. You immediately can get a feel for the look of his work. The gray/neutral background and page tools help to showcase his highly colorful pieces without competing for your attention.

Navigating the website and finding the buttons is no mystery. They are located under the heading in the top left corner. Majority of the information given is through the images, instead of too many links to click. Thumbnails of the images can be clicked to enlarge and view other pieces from each of the projects or campaigns. After accessing a project, the viewer can scroll up or down, which moves the various pieces to the left or right. The unexpected direction of movement caught me off guard & seems very creative.

The design of this portfolio has an elegance that lets the work speak for itself. When navigating to a new page within the website, a different version of the logo heading is displayed. This adds another layer of interest for me & wow factor.

Negatives for this portfolio? I could lose myself in it, because it is all so interesting. Bright colors and lights seem to be a signature for this artist & I'm personally drawn to both visually. After perusing the site for a while my eyes do crave soft lighting.

One word: exciting
