Re: Design Portfolios


I think about this all the time. And by thinking about it, I really mean freaking out about it. It will have been a year since I took Hypermedia when Portfolio starts, and I’m slowly forgetting bits and pieces. I am going to try to refresh my mind over winter break so that I’m not completely lost, but I want my portfolio to be awesome and I know that I need to step up my html game for that to happen.

I think a good portfolio is designed in that designer’s particular style. That way, someone isn’t looking at a site in one style and portfolio pieces in a completely different style. To me, that would be confusing and misleading. I also think simplicity and easy accessibility are both really important. A portfolio site should not make you dig around to find the designer’s pieces. They should be displayed in a direct, but creative way.
