Thanks Orly! Your new portfolio looks good, nice and clean. However, I’d add some more detail to the background, as that feels a little empty right now. Also I’m not sure about your font choice, it seems a little plain. (the font used in your billboard area).

Oh, these examples are just superb. Lovely use of layout, colour, lighting, … tonnes of stuff. Thanks for picking them out for us to look at (although it does make me feel crushingly inferior as I continue to learn the ropes of this gig).
Dale Harris’ slideshow even cycles back or forward on mousewheel actions, which a) surprised and b) pleased me greatly.

Thanks Mark! I know what you mean, these sites are definitely inspiring, if not a little overwhelming when trying to consider your own portfolio design.

Cheers Sanji! It’s the colors of these sites that draws me to them the most I think. Rather than using boring blocks of color, many of these sites seem to integrate their colors seamlessly via textures, patterns and lighting effects. Very impressive stuff.

I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i am happy to convey that I have an incredibly good uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed. I most certainly will make sure to don’t forget this web site and give it a glance regularly.
