New art blog

Rlln · Mar 2017

Hi, please check out my new site for modern art and 3d modeling, I'm waiting for your feedback and advice
http://theart-source.com/

is it your portfolio or did you collect a bunch of images from other artists?
to be honest it kinda looks like a wordpress stock template.

I think some more clarity o what the site is for could really help.

Rlln · Mar 2017

Yes this is a collection of recent works of artists and news of other arts

Eric Chadwick · Mar 2017

There's no news here. Just image collections. A bit of journalism would be nice.

Rlln · Mar 2017

I do not know what you mean, I counted 10 news articles and 9 image collections. But thanks i will write more

lotet · Mar 2017

there are articles?I feel like the whole page is kind of confusing and unsure if what it is.

Rlln · Mar 2017

Well if you go through the pictures on the main page you can see the articles

. Can you advise how to remove confusion on the page?

lotet · Mar 2017

why not have it in more of a blog format? or at least have a tab for articles. I also dont like that you have to scroll down half a page to actually get to the content. right now there is some kind of front page with an image and some random text thats really hard to read anyway.

overall I feel like the page design is restricited to the template used, instead of the template modified to fit the pages need.
Its very unclear what the whole thing is, is it a forum? is it a blog, is it a copy of artstation?

Rlln · Mar 2017

No, this is a news blog with a small forum (so far useless). I just wanted to make it different from other blogs, more beautiful if I can say so. But about the convenience you are right, I will try to fix it

I honestly had no Idea thats what you where going for. its looking more like an artstation copy/portfolio layout at the moment.

If your going for new blog I would look at some other similar webpages to see how they lay stuff out. you dont even have to look at art blogs, just find good webpages with similar functionality and take some inspiration from there

So, you can check the site again I made a couple of changes and added the material

Depeche Mode, Wu Tang at SXSW... how is this an art blog? And if it's not, what's the relevance to Polycount?
Honestly, as a new member (who has previously spammed about his blog in the wrong places), this isn't a great look, and you'd be better off engaging with the community rather than luring them to your website.

Rlln · Mar 2017

The site affects not only digital art but also other forms of art! Including music

And that for you interaction with the community?, I think the theme was created for this

Michael Knubben · Mar 2017

Oh okay I'm sorry everything is in order officer

Joopson · Mar 2017

Wait, @Michael Knubben Are you saying Depeche mode isn't art? Because it sounds like you're saying Depeche mode isn't art.

lotet · Mar 2017

Much better, still a lot of stuff you can do, but the actual blog format is a great start!

and this post was really cool tbh.

sacboi · Mar 2017

@Joopson

I don't think Michael Knubben meant too demean those artists contributions to the music industry per se, but rather as opposed to the relevance of posting a linked personal blog covering a broad range of creative disciplines which is obviously distinct from the digital framework by which this site is renown.

Rlln · Mar 2017

Thanks to everyone for feedback

In the future I will try to fill the site with more information on digital art
