Rhea Anna

Algonquin Studios worked with freelance designer Alan Kegler to create a web-based portfolio for photographer Rhea Anna. Mr. Kegler had already created an award-winning identity for Ms. Anna, and she wanted to carry the same look and feel to the web.

Ms. Anna's documentary style of photography was best served by a storybook-type of navigation, where the visitor is able to "flip pages" to see the next image.

Ms. Anna also utilized the web site as a way to exchange files with clients, through a protected section visible only to selected visitors.

Algonquin Studios received a gold award in the 2002 Addy Awards sponsored by Brainstorm, as well as a bronze award in the 2000 Art Directors/Communicators of Buffalo Awards for Creative Excellence for this site. A former client, Ms. Anna and Algonquin received extensive positive feedback on the site, and the layout and design persists to this day even under the support of a freelancer for site maintenance.

Rhea Anna The soft feel of the site was accentuated by the subtle grey border and white space surrounding all of the imagery.
