ive nearly got my portofolio ready to go just want a little more content on there.
I'm with Wesley in that I personally really cant stand flash web sites, particularly for portfolios. I really admire the work and scripting that goes into them but they're just too slow, can make navigation a pain and have practically zero accessiblity rating. We had a whole 3 hour lecture from this guy at Uni on adapting flash sites ot be accessible cross browser and for stuff like screen readers, optimisation and all that jazz. At the end of 3 hours he quite literally ended the presentation with "long story short - dont bother".
I tihnk flash animation can be a really cool way to enhance a site and add depth to certain elements, but i think if you're showing work to a prospective employer it needs to be quick, easy to use and straight to the point in no time at all.
I've been through god knows how many designs, and this article has really helped direct me. I tihnk i've finally got something which has a fair balance between 'technically functinal/adaptable' and 'artistically creative'.
However i'm well aware that within a week of going live ill hate it again :-P
