Salohcin's Portfolio

Salohcin · 05-18-2007, 08:30 AM

I've finally gotten around to creating a portfolio. Mostly to house my web design work, but I'll also have some 3D and 2D game art in it. So far I have the layout all coded up, and just need to fill in the content. Looking for crit on layout now.

I'm going for a very clean, professional, and accessible layout.

Please excuse shoddy resolution (Photobucket restrictions.) I'll post a better version when I get home.

looks like a standard blog layout from wordpress to me (kubrick anyone?)

looks nice. I think it could be a bit bright. Presenting work on bright background makes it a bit darker than it actually is. No big deal but I think you should try out some darker colors if you want to.

Thanks for the crit, I've been considering experimenting with some darker colors. Though, I was originally trying to steer clear of the overly dark portfolios I've seen many artists use.

Well what I would suggest, is to try to make the color/layout of the portfolio really try and reflect your own art style. Maybe its just me, but I really think the layout is very important and should really reflect you.

Obviously using templates are ok, not everyone is an HTML coder, but I think it really should reflect you to a certain degree.

What? If you mean to suggest that this makes use of a template, that's incorrect. It's compeltely programmed by me with Transitional XHTML, CSS, and divs. All made in good ol' Notepad++

I wasn't saying YOU did, but I was saying that people shouldn't feel shame in doing so if it helps reflect your style better.

Oh, sorry for the misconception, and I'll keep the advice in mind
