Research into Online Gallery Exhibitions

Collection Overview Interfaces

Here I found some different variations, but all very similar in the end, covering from selection tables, flashing images of artwork, static image and name, scroll wheels to opening slideshows. The examples below were some choices I found smart and elegant. 

Image Selection Interfaces

Below are three different table and interface variations. For the basic selection screen with a page full of visible paintings and the title and artists name. Then there is a more detailed version in which the table is ordered alphabetically, as well as adding short descriptions to the image in comparison to the previous. Lastly I chose the large preview version with detailed descriptions about the painting and artist on the right and other image options below. Most online exhibitions are using one of these, or similar, methods to portray the artwork. So nothing fancy and the viewer can fully concentrate on viewing the art pieces.

Showcasing my Personal Artwork

So I decided to also stick to a simple structure for the Abertay Digital Graduate Show. I am planning on adding a slideshow or showreel covering my 2D illustrations though to show my personal progression over the year in terms of craftsmanship and aesthetic vision.
