Layout Consideration 1 - Articles and Interviews

Upon looking at other Artists websites, I have noticed a common theme of adding a page with Articles/Interviews in them. I found this is a nice touch to the website and maybe just important as a exhibitions list because this shows not only is someone else interested in your work, but also that they have an opinion of your work. You are giving the viewers the opportunity to read another opinion and now just what the artist has put on their page. Articles in the style of interviews are also a good way of adding a personal yet professional touch to your webpage. A bit like seeing an interview with an actor or director you admire, you have seen their work but the interview on top adds this personal touch and further understanding.

I have featured in  a few publications online and in magazines, as well as creating artwork and writing for various pieces. In considering the above I decided my most recent interview with Nest Magazine would be the best starting point for making an archive of articles and interviews as it is professional looking, about my work and also is something that has be published to the public. In the website itself I will create a pdf file or separate page to link the text of the interview. Bellow is a image of the layout in the magazine itself, however for the future to keep these consistent I decided to type these up as text only, as seen in Kenneth Goldsmith's and David Shrigley's webpages and archives.
