v4: The Pursuit of Love, :) Options

[Melissa]

Hrm, I was gonna call it the Pursuit of Fantasy, but idk, love seemed to work better.

BUT ANYWAYS.
I'm FINALLY (re)launching my portfolio site. I used to try and go for the professional look, but I've realized that I'm less interest in trying to get work and more interested in expressing myself through my website, so... this is me:

Constructive criticism would be great & appreciated.

And if anything doesn't work, please tell me.

I love it. I think it's completely original and unique. I like the way you did the roll overs, or whatever they are called. Very cute =)

i absolutely adore this, the rollovers are especially nice and it's all arranged neatly.
a really, really good job and effort

[Relentless]

Oh, this is awesome! I really like how random it is.

I love the creative ideas that you had in this layout. The coding is not bad at all, too.

I can see you were going for the messy, notebook, doodle look, but it does make the whole layout look a little disorganized. Also, I think the gray background kinda makes for a dull look. Maybe white or some other bright color might make it seem more welcoming? Idk.

Oh, and I also noticed something in your vexels section. When you click on a thumbnail, the full view looks a bit blurry and not in full quality. Just wanted to let you know. :]

Lastly, I love this.

Hm, while I don't think I'm going to change the background (maybe I will after finals), do you think that changing the navigation to type will make it look more organized? I've been kind of on the edge of the handwritten nav and the typed nav.

Is the full view for the vexels all blurry? Blah, it's probably because I needed to resize some of them from their actual full views while they were in jpg and it decreased the quality. I'll try redoing some of them later.

thanks!

Hmm, I don't think the handwritten nav is a problem at all. In fact, I think it adds uniqueness to your site. But you could always try a text nav and see if that looks better. :D

I kind of like it the way it is. The way everything is organized is perfect, imo.

[Flaunted]

Your rollovers are soooooo adorable!

The only thing I didn't like was my fault, because my screen resolution isn't big enough ): and made me have a horizontal scrollbar.

I like the messy yet organized thing going on.
So cute.

i love the set up of your website! for some reason, i can't preview any of your photography. unless it was intended for us to just click on the images not knowing what to click on, but yeah that was the only thing i noticed.

[Melissa]

^ thanks, guys! yeah, and I got lazy with the photography thumbnails. I'll get to it someday.. I'm just not looking forward to editing over 100 pictures :(.

So this thread can be closed since I'm changing layouts in a few minutes.

This is officially my most short-lived layout and the one I spent the longest time on.

Figures.
