Who is the author of the page?

Chris Burkhard

What is the intended audience?

The intended audience is anyone who is interested in his photography, which could be surfers, nature-conservationists, photography-enthusiasts, or literally anyone that appreciates landscapes and the outdoors.

What kind of information is the author sharing?

The author is sharing his portfolio, which includes his personal favorite photographs, his sponsored work, and small documentary films. His work aims to spread the message of appreciation for the world we live in, to inspire people to make nature conservation efforts.

Is the platform design well suited for the chosen materials and audience? That is, is it easy for the user to navigate, search, and find answers? How so, how not so?

This platform is well suited for the chosen materials and audience. The galleries are aesthetically pleasing, and easy to find. The first thing an internet browser sees when they enter his domain is the full image of one of his photographs, with just three menu items in the middle of the screen: “Portfolio”, “About”, and “Prints”. After clicking onto any of the links, the website goes to a more traditional webpage with a menu bar at the top, while still maintaining that simplicity.

How would you improve the presentation and/or design?

There was originally a photo with a darker background that was on the initial webpage, but the photo currently on it has a light background, and the text is still in a light font. One of those needs to change, but other than that, I really love the design of the website.
