General design
Aqua Portfolio has a full-width design and a homepage that focuses mainly on displaying the image. Other elements like header, footer or sidebar are minimized as much as possible to shine the spotlight to the image. In general, it looks both simple and extensive.
Other elements
The author uses the very common color palette: white for the background and black for texts and other elements. The theme with solely black and white can be easy to read but may leave much impression on the readers. However, I think that the choice of color is matched with the major purpose: highlighting the image by any mean.
The font family - San-serif - is also very basic. But I wish that the title font could be larger as I find it hard to distinguish it from the other texts.
On the homepage, the full-screen featured images are arranged consecutively with the very brief meta only appearing when you hover. As a result, it gives you an overwhelming feeling toward the images and leaves a long-lasting impression in your mind.
The header can't be simpler with only a small title and a hamburger menu button. But the full-screen menu can still give you a menu clearly that you absolutely need. The menu is also made to be really straightforward and symmetrical.
The footer area is also super pure and the sidebar doesn't appear anywhere. Overall, that design helps draw people's attention solely to the content and media.
On the single post page, it remains the simple design with no featured images at all to concentrate on the content. But it still has one advantage that is the large amazing photographs inside the post to make up for the plain design of the whole page.
