Good and bad website portfolios...

I am going to research the good, the bad and the ugly websites for portfolio promotion.

I will explain why they are good and bad, pointing out areas of interest and areas I like. (And would possibly like to include in my own).

The good….

BLACK MOUNTAIN

http://www.blkmtnstudio.com/#/home

the home page for the website ‘Blk +Mtn’. It has links to his about me section, his portfolio, news, his blog and contacts.

His about me section shows his nickname and his specialties, this could possibly have been put on the home page though as they are important to see. Also links to his other websites.

Its ver simple and easy to use, and thoroughly easy to find things.

His portfolio is separated into sections i.e. for website design, photography, print… they are all of high quality, and easy to navigate. The images are neither too large or small, and evenly spaced apart to minimize confusion.

The contact section contains his image, email, Skype number, full name and where he is from. This is extremely clear and easy to figure out.

The bad…

POY’S JOURNALISM PORTFOLIO

http://poyileung.wordpress.com/

This is the portfolio website for a journalist. It looks good from the homepage, but there are a number of things wrong from this. For starters the titke is badly designed and merges with the design at the top of the page. The writing is hard to make out, and blends with the background. Its hard to find anything on her as the links are all jumbled up.

The contact page only has an email dress and no other means of contact.

I cant even find the portfolio for examples of his work.
