Making Portfolios Try Make Urs in Different Style

Portfolios

Most online portfolios look the same, says P McNeil. Why not make yours stand out from thcrowd?

Web Design, like any other form of design, goes through cycles. It's easy to argue that a certain style is the current tren - with a billion websites to chose from, it's not hard to find a dozen that 'prove' your point. For example, I could argue that the use of clouds in design is hot right now and show you 10 examples without bkinking. But is it really a trend?

Such is the case with the portfolio designs, You'll no doubts have seen many versions of the single - page folio with large attractive images, often containing a horizontal sliding JavaScript transition. Personally, I love this style of online portfolio, but this time around, i'd like to show you some examples os portfolios that rely on alternative designs and navigation layouts to make them sing ( while of course remaining highly functional).

Perhaps the primary reason to consider soing down this route is to cimmunicate the idea that your work is individual and stands our from the crowd. As always with web design, the focus must remain on usability , woth user experience thoroughly in the forefront.

If your goal is to stand out and present yourself in an atypical way, it's time to step back and look at your content through a fresh set of eyes. Consider the main functions the user would want: viewing your portfolio and being able to contact you are likely to be the top priorities, Starting from such a simple perspective can often lead to a design that's radically different from the norm.

The Work showcased here all make use of minimalism and atypical layouts, not just for the sake of it, but to speed up the user journey and improve the experience. One suspects they get more work from eager clients as a result.

I liked this information in the article in the magazine DOTnet for more information you can visit designmeltdownDOTcom to enhance your skills and information and also to know more & i liked to share the above here with you friends.
Enjoy weekend
