How you can use the internet to communicate your brand and designs in one page. Or, just look really ridiculously good looking in html.
As a designer, a web portfolio or a personal blog are two beacons that we can use to showcase the best of what we’ve worked on to stand out in the “Great Sea of Html”. How we construct them can lead to great feelings of personal achievement, or after a week or two of seeing other sites that visually own, you may go back to the drawing board to try to one up yourself and the competition for the umpteenth time.
So then, how as a designer/developer/blogger have you approached the design of your personal inter-space? While browsing my google reader feeds I came across this interesting post about single page sites and their use of the page to showcase the content.
I’m currently in the 12th or 13th stage of re branding my self for freelance work. Every time I see cool posts and sites like this, I reach a new stage of design denial and garbage canning current designs…which leaves me questioning my own design and coding abilities. Being stuck in “design purgatory” has it’s advantages though. Quite often I’ll learn a new skill from a re work or become more aware of the faults I had in previous versions.
Here are some of the highlights of the aforementioned post I picked out. What do you find effective in these designs, and how do you think you could use the same techniques applied to the design work at your own company?
