Kerry Skarbakka

Kerry Skarbakka is one of my favorite photographers and I hate his website due to poor navigation... I really like the series titled "The struggle to right oneself". You have to read the artist statement for this series to appreciate this series. His photography truely makes you wonder "how the hell does photograph himself falling?" Crazy and amazing photographer...but his website sucks because you have to use the back button too much!

  1. Interesting work but did you notice how you have to scroll down to view the whole image? The designer sacrificed a hundred vertical pixels to put in the stupid blue header, why? The header and sidebar do very little for the page's structure. Web design is design. Therefore, it is important to consider every element of a page's design and ask yourself: Does the page's form follow function? In other words, is that dark blue header an integral part of the artist's identity and does it compliment and accentuate the artist's work?
    I'm excited because I think I'm getting better at analyzing and criticizing web pages (especially my own^^).

    cool page though, I love The Struggle to Right Oneself" series, reminds me of that chinese photographer, what's his name, who was really big in 2007... i'll have to dig him up.

    What's with Skarbakka's enter page? The whole design scheme seems totally unthoughtful, unlike Skarbakka's high-concept artwork...
    he he he, we're all learning.... ^^
