The AdamRose Netork - New Designs

A certain individual style is needed in your portfolio, yes.

And if you "getting inspiration from them" I think they could have been a little better than what you made
Sorry

Yes but if you compare the 2 designs....
You cant just copy a design and add nothing

Over-looking them again, in my view they're to simple.

Thanks for your views.

Joe, have yourself got a portoflio bar primals?

I know if I dont have one, I shouldnt critise, but I am, so there!
I have a few bad examples of portfolio layouts

Theres more somewhere

Thats quite a bad example actually -I mean, it has to say something about you, and not about the person your taking inspiration off

I wasn't emphasising that point, I was just seeing if it did revolve around yourself and your style.

From that layout - I can see the 'Joe' inside it.

I think it does - Its a clean deisgn with modern colours.

Yours was black, and didnt reflect what the majority of your work is about :)

I hate you i really do

nice, minimalist style works for the first pages, but doesnt with any of the others, they end up with a over packed and tacky feel due to the stylaistion your useing.

if you want to have that unquie look, your going to have to come up with a more unquie navagation and apprach to presntation than your useing, the standard layout your useing just doesnt fit it "/

That said, if you were to work on the layout and presentaion aspects for the content, the style could lend itself to a pretty impressive looking portfolio site "/ this sort of design could benifit from flash in some arias as well, which would allow added flexiblty in how naviagation may be able to operate, beoned whats normal/standard.

Portfolios imo should realy be unqiue and diffent from regular work "/

But if your portfolio is black and techy, and you only make clean, modern designs, then thats not the best portoflio to use, is it?
