Well I've been messing around with the concept of a portfolio for all my work that i've done in school and on my spare time and this is what I have come up with recently. I just wanted to know what people thought and if there is anything that should be tweaked or changed. I feel like the content part (where the news feed and the artwork are displayed) needs a banner or some sort of header but im not sure...maybe it's better left the way it is. well here it is

^ it's a portfolio site, and sites showcasing portfolio work should be plain and simple, as to make the actual work stand out.
i like the setup (obviously, i'm a minimalist fanwhore). the only thing i'd really complain about is the cursor 'cause i'm not a fan of anything that's not the default cursor ;X also, opacity of the main layer could be a little opaque; i think the text against the patterned background becomes a little busy. i think you have a lot of play room. as suggested in above posts, you could try many other different fonts. |

QUOTE(CrotchetTheLeper @ May 1 2008, 09:52 AM) Although, I thought it looked a lot like a blog as well. I'm sure I wouldn't have if there was some sort of indication that it was a portfolio (other than having to read the "info"). ah i see. i guess the reason i got confused with your comments is because a lot of my favorite portfolio sites are in the form of blogs. nowadays, it seems more likely that a portfolio would include a blog than not. it could be because of the web 2.0 trend, but i'm just used to seeing portfolios within blogs or vice versa, therefore in my mind, they coexist ;o
