“A personal portfolio website is all about promoting you. You are a brand, and your name is a brand name. No one is going to know about your brand unless you get it out there; and if you’re a Web designer, developer, writer, gamer or any other type of creative, then it’s essential that you have a good portfolio website.” 10 Steps to the Perfect Portfolio Site, Smashing Magazine
This post showcases some of the research i carried out for this part of the project
The main resource for my research was Best Web Gallery which is an online gallery of the best websites across the web. I used this resource to not only research portfolio sites but to also gain inspiration for the design of my own. This is what Best Web Gallery is so good for…providing inspiration and ideas to designers and creatives. Here are some of my favorites that i came across:
Incognito
Couch Creative
Nine Lion Design
Elysium Burn
Colourpixel
Things that are Brown
Another valuable asset that i found while researching Portfolio Sites was an article on Smashing Magazine titled “10 Steps To The Perfect Portfolio Website” that covers and discusses, with examples, 10 areas and aspects that a portfolio site should contain. I aim to use as many areas of possible in my design. Here’s the link:
