Christopher Rutledge

Portfolio / Web Design + Development

A cool-toned geometric CG work — a floating triangle within a ring of water — presented full-width inside the portfolio

A portfolio designed to let the work take over.

Christopher Rutledge's animation and CG work is expressive, technical, and visually varied. Christopher made the work; the portfolio around it was designed and built to get out of its way.

The Christopher Rutledge portfolio archive: a grid of animated project previews beneath a 'Latest Work' heading on a dark interface — Every project in motion

Individual motion previews kept the project archive alive before a visitor opened the work.

A Christopher Rutledge project page: a dark interface with a large video player above the project's description, credits, and festival recognition — A quiet framework

Project pages reduce the interface to the essentials — the work, its context, credits, and recognition. One reusable structure accommodates every project.

Built to grow — a CMS-based project system gave Christopher a straightforward way to organize, add, and publish new work without rebuilding the portfolio.

The same framework adapts to projects with very different visual identities.
