The gallery is one of my favourite parts of my site. I think it looks really strong and makes my work shine. I didn't want to change anything substantial just update an effect that I felt wasn't really working. The effect in question was the hover effect. When hovering previously the key colour over wrote the image. Like this:
Idle:
Hover:
This looks good and really fits with the style and theme of the website as a whole which works well. However, the fact that hovering over the image and having it completely vanish isn't a very clever design choice as it makes it so the art disappears. To fix this I simply added a border to all the images and had the colour appear onto the border as a hover effect:
Idle:
Hover:
This still has all the clarity and stylistic impact as the previous effect however, now the image remains visible throughout the hover and makes for a more consistent and less jarring viewing experience.
