My Portfolio | Opening Today

Hello,

I am opening a portfolio for Website design, Graphic design and Illustration. My site is mainly Website Design. And my site is open NOW!. And basically i have a sale on so i can get my portfolio up and running and get some layouts on there and projects. I am doing a deal £1 for a un-coded. I can get it coded by a friend but that will be £5 extra or maybe lower.

FAQ:

Why are you opening a portfolio?
I have been getting quite popular with my layouts and i am going quite good. I opened it up so people can view my layouts and of course buy some.

Why are you offering that deal?
I am offering that deal because i need to get layouts onto my site and projects. A great deal i think £1 for a un-coded.

What School/College/Uni awards have you got?
I am still at school, but i go to college now and again for "Website Design and Structure". I got a A for my website design at college and i got a certificate that i passed college. At school i got mostly A's and B's for Art and Design. My illustration normally got A's. So thats why i got involed with illustration with my portfolio.

Can i see some previews?
Common question asked people want to see previews before they buy thats the whole point of a portfolio. So go to www.timmizon.com and there are some previews there.

Any more questions please ask below.

Thank you.

Love the layout, but your name and the text under it look awful :l

Edit: Just realised you didn't make the design. A designer who doesn't make their own layout and adds poor quality addons like your name. Doesn't give a great look to potential clients.

So if you made it and work for them, why would you want to use a theme their selling? And on their site where you have your name, the text is perfect yet yours looks terrible.... Plus the guy who owns Elegant Themes is called Nick and he clearly states he made the template in his blog... Why lie?

I was just about to point out a couple of other flaws in this topic, such as the fact why would a designer want to go from working for a company, to doing freelance work and at such a low price? There isn't any real reason, I'm not saying you can't get cheap designers, but you can't get cheap designers that work for good design companies.

I'm not a fan of the whole feature of it looking like it had been hand drawing.

That's a bit of a fail really dude, that you ripped a layout off of Elegant Themes.

But they sell themes... at $19.95 for every single one, I think he might have pulled the old wallet out, even if it isn't his work?

12. Am I required to retain the linkback to elegantthemes when I use your themes?
No, I do not require that you retain the credit links, however, it is much appreciated!

In this case it's probably because he's an ashamed 'designer' :P
