Refreshes On Refreshes

I made some minor changes to the layout of this site. I know I’ve been poking around Webflow for a few weeks, but since this portfolio is currently based on Squarespace it was easiest to change things up on here before migrating to a new space.

The image shows the Animation section of this website. The title "Jaz Malone" is at the top, with menu options below. Underneath is an animated gif of a woman holding a scale.

The main thing I did was to limit the imagery to one piece at a time. The previous design, a cascading gallery, was fun. I felt it could have been a lot to look at at once, and pared it down.

Previous layout of all the things at once

I repeated this layout for all pages under the Work section: Illustration, Animation, Comics & Zines, and Sketch Dump - oh, and I renamed the sketchbook section Sketch Dump. It felt more accurate.

Most likely, the site will get another minor refresh before the move to the Webflow base. I don’t dislike Squarespace - it’s kept my web presence going for years! Squarespace is easy to create with, easy to edit with, has great built-in templates, and the price points are accessible enough. The shift to a new platform is not about Squarespace, but about what I can do with a new (to me) platform. I have a need to learn new things when I see them. I’m happy both options exist.
