Designing the research section of the portfolio site

A question is posed: How to almagamate research which is composed of many different types?

My solution: A virtual pinboard.

What do i want?

• To illsutrate my process
  
• To show it chronologically: so you know what came where
• Possibly date stamped
• To hide/show different media types on my pinboard and to be able to 'zoom in' to sections.
  

Where did this idea come from?

Looking at different ways that creative websites display their 'previous work'

In this example the items are placed into a sub menu scroller. Sometimes the photographs had smaller 'titles' at the bottom describing who the work was for.

scrolling header at the top of the page. i like how you this shows variety without being intrusive
note: its little jerky and buggy

• really interesting porfolio of an interaction designer
• you cant use web browser navigation buttons: solely in-window navigation
• you scroll through tiles by clicking and dragging
• 'time' on an axis indication old>new
• link to 'cv' on the left

an example of a virtual pinboard (combines photographic and video media). roughly 60& of the way down the page.
attempts to make it like a cord pinboard were made, with textures applied to the background and the photos misaligned intentionally.
