Portfolio site...the hell!

Hello :smiley:
I always have problems designing my own portfolio sites! i dont know what it is, but i just cant seem to get them perfect, and once i do, i have another idea and scrap that idea! I want to get my site up before i start University on the 28th, i dont have this problem with client websites, its just when i do my own :frowning: i want your comments on the 4 ideas/designs i have done, and which one you like most, bearing in mind they arnt fully complete and if you have any ideas on how to improve them please say.

I am up for a critique! you can rip my layouts to pieces, i just want a nice website, and i have about 10 days! eek. Ok you can view the layouts below.

Ok you can be as harsh as you want :smiley: just please help me :’(

Thankyou

Wow, those are all great man :thumb:

I especially like three and four… Two is nice as well, but it’s a tad dark to my taste :ne:

One is nice too though… I can see why you’re having a hard time choosing :beam:

Luxury problem :wink:

They are all really good designs. 1 could be really cool if the links flip like a book. I think that is what you are trying to go for there. 2 looks very professional and clean which I am a big fan of. 3 again, looks very clean, nice presentation. 4 looks very cool.

All that being said, here comes the but. BUT I think 2 and 3 are way too simliar to alot of sites I’ve seen out there. I wouldn’t use either of them. I would use either 1 or 4 if I were you.

Personally I would use 4 all the way. It’s much more exciting looking than 1, the ink splotches convey a more exciting feel to me, and the gradient you have in the background works very well with your colors in the foreground.

Ok thanks for your comments, i prefer numbers 1 & 2 personally, i do agree with hwat you say about 2 & 3 looking like sites already out there, the only thing i dont like about number 4 is it looks grundgey, and i am not really into grundge, so thats why i am stuck! please keep posting your comments lol thnaks people

Use two or four. If you want to be more ā€œdifferentā€ then use 4. If not then 2 looks the cleanest and better looking imo. Good job bud.

Yeah, I agree with dj, #2’s the cleanest and could turn out to be a strong portfolio, depending on how far you take the AS, I’d personally go with that one!

Good luck!!!

Personally I think the 2nd one has a bit of a ā€œIve seen a 100 times beforeā€-look, but I love nr. 4 ! !

:thumb: =) I love 'em all. Toss some coins to choose. Can I have one of the ones you don’t use? :p:

4 all the way! I don’t think it’s too grungy and it’s the most original! The other ones I have seen done before :slight_smile:

hehe flash gordan…course you can have one of the ones i dont use…just at a cost thats all :stuck_out_tongue:

Indeed, that’s what I meant as well.

i agree with chimp, like them all, but 4 really pops out
great job bro :thumb:

fo sho fo sho my dog in the hizzous agrees with the OG Chimp

I’M GUNNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMMIES IN QUEENS!

peace

I would personaly go for the 4, thou 2 is my second fav.
4th is really catchy and thrilling, it makes me wanna see more.
The 1st could work for me only without that background.

I would go for 4, but without the white background/border around the outside, make it the full browser size and it’d be beautiful

I like number 4 best, nice concept and colors… i also agree with the idea of making it fullsize with no white ā€œbordersā€ā€¦

I’m not into grunge either but four is definatly the go. To me it doesnt even look very grunge, the paint splotches make it look more like you’re and artist. Very appealing to look further.

Ok ermm, even though you say number 4 im still undecided. I think it just would be hardest to animate i.e. the splodges etc and plus it just wouldnt fit well with the work i have in my portfolio as nothing is like that. Ive come up with this…i combined 1 and 3 together…any comments?

mmmyeeeh… 4 still rocks my socks. Can I have it?

I’ll pay you in… cheese?

hehe nah you can pay me on cash though :smiley:
