Awesome Design Portfolios
Lately, I have been in need of updating my own online portfolio. I have been getting a lot of comments back from potential employers saying I need more web concepts and UI design concepts on the site. In my search to make my own site better I have stumbled across this great article on Graphic Design Blender. (This is a great blog to take a look at for any designer.) April Greer takes a look at 50 sites that use their online portfolio as a way to connect with others. These sites range from great use of color to extreme minimalism. My favorite is Chris Thurman's portfolio. He uses great colors to highlight the most important things within the site and it is very easy to follow. Right away, he introduces himself and leads you into his page.
I am striving to make my site look more like this. A single page layout with easy navigation like Thurman's would be ideal. I think it will make it easier to showcase my web skills if my site looks more refined. His logo is also great! It is simple, concise, and easy to follow.
I'd love to hear any and all comments on how I can improve my site www.alisonhamiltondesigns.com
