Serial Cut

http://www.serialcut.com/

This artist really makes his work the focus of his website. Floating navigation over the top of his work, and allowing his whole page to be used as a canvas to display his work is very effective, and allows you to really appreciate his work. He also includes a display all function, and separates all his work into categories on that page. The web portfolio is very fresh, but it also maintains usability and avoids being confusing, or too flashy.

I really like how he uses the type to emphasize his name, what he does, and key information like places he's worked, and links to his contact info. I also think by using a self portrait, it puts a face to the name as well as displaying more of his work. I like the use of spot color, and the organization of his content.

I like this portfolio a lot because everything is big, simple, and straight forward. The previews of his work are all very eye catching, and cause you to want to see more of the work. The simplicity holds everything together so well, and following the same format for each page is very helpful and keeps everything tied together.

This portfolio is very fresh, and unique. The interface makes it stand out among other portfolios, and its very successful. The graphic design is beautiful, and leaves a lasting impression. This portfolio along with others really shines as a project within itself.

This is another great example of a one page portfolio. Everything is easy to find, and is organized in a way that is similar to what you would find used on a portfolio or business card. His portfolio is very personal, and the use of different textures makes everything enjoyable to look at, and without clicking on a thumbnail, it gives you a feel for what the designers work is like.

I like the use of background textures in this portfolio, as well as the logo he has designed for himself. I like how everything is separated into different sections by using horizontal rules, as well as color differentiation.

I like that the header stays over the top of the website, and you never have to scroll back to the top to find the navigation. I also like that his work is the focus of his portfolio. The preview pictures give enough information to summarize the work, and it's displayed very well.

I really like the cleverness of this portfolio. The url, as well as the identity of the graphic design firm is really creative, and causes you to remember them. I like the compactness of the design, and the use of javascript to organize everything.

I really like that this portfolio is horizontal as opposed to vertical. I like the navigation in the top corner, and that his work is separated into the two categories offline and online. The only thing I would change about the portfolio would be to put links to the live version of his online work, and maybe include some sort of description for each work.

I really like the layout of this portfolio. It is really creative, and with everything on one page, seperated into three parts, you only have to load the one page and scroll up and down (or use the provided navigation). I like that the design of the site itself keeps you interesed and is fun to look at while still serving its purpose and not being distracting.

Yet another simplistic blog. I really like that the header floats over the content and makes finding information very easy. I enjoy his use of typography as a main element, and that everything is all on one page. Linking to his resume is a nice touch, and using a grid to organize his work as well as linking to larger pictures and live versions of his web work is important. This portfolio demonstrates that simplicity can be very effective, and is an example of great design.

I really like the layout of this portfolio. It is very clean and professional looking. I like that the first thing on the page is a picture of the designer, and a bio as well as contact information. One thing I would have liked better would be for the designer's name to stand out a bit more instead of having to search for it.

I think the layout of the website works well, however i feel it would benefit from either links that seperate the work, as well as a link to the work, or a larger version of the work. The text is all every easy to read, and the organization is done very well.

I really like the layout of Alejandro's portfolio. I'm a sucker for icons and a lover of simplicity, so those are the first things that stand out to me. I also like the choice of color for the head banner, but I think there is an issue of legibility in the actual body of the website. I really enjoy the icons being a prominent element of the opening page, but the green background kind of gives me a head ache, and I prefer the layout he has used for showing his work over the main page. The links in the footer blend into the background, and its hard to read them. Overall, I really like the simplicity and cleanness of the design as well as the logo used for the header.
