So, I recently finished my online portfolio and got it uploaded last week. It was initially going to be a Flash website but I had no idea how to code it lol, so I just went with a much more simple design. What do you think of it? http://www.sparkthemental.com I'm trying to design at least every other day so I can get better. Hopefully, by the end of the summer I'll be able to join an art group or something, but my skill isn't at that stage yet.
i also think you should get rid of the splash page, or have an auto redirect at least... but yeah, the site itself is cool. maybe way too simple, but it's still well done. are you a graphic or web designer?
This is better than site which is made is Flash. I really like it. Maybe too much black colors but who cares. Really nice, keep it good - SeoHawk
Haha, what's wrong with the splash page. I'm a graphic designer. I can design webpages though, just can't code them.
The splash page doesn't look good and doesn't fit well with the theme. I suggest that you remove it and just replace it with a content or your home page describing what your site is all about.
I see what you mean. I'm not particularly trying to get clients, but that'd be nice I guess. It was just more representative of the type of illustration and culture that I like.
I really like the intro page... if you remove it, the website would look like tons of other portfolios.
If you clean up the splash page a bit, it might not be so bad. Right now it looks like you just ran it through Live trace in Illustrator.
Yeah maybe he should edit the splash abit tho, if he wants to get work etc when an employee reads it "WTF iZ DIZ" they'll go no thankyou.
Haha, well it wasn't Live Trace I can assure you that. Rough lines, clean fills, or vice versa is my style. Sort of a graffiti illustration kinda thing. So like I said, it's a visual indication of what interests me and what I try to incorporate into my style. But, it's a personal site I'm not specifically trying to get clients.
I think the intro page is a little bit annoying, specially the pink color, could causing eye irritation lol...but the main page is great, cool black dominating color.
