Thank you for the comment! With a multi-page site, i would most likely use an image slider of my favorite/best pieces from my portfolio on the front page. This could hopefully capture the portfolio making the "here I am" rather than the text. I'm happy about all the positive feedback, so i...

my website is a single page portfolio: http://www.graphicdesignforums.co.uk/website-design-critique/2063-new-portfolio-website.html I'm contemplating making it a multi-page website, mainly for SEO resons, and a few people have said they dont like single page sites, however many people said...

Thats what i was kind of aiming for really... something that shouted "this is me, and heres what i do". I'm actually considering a multipage version, probably keep the style, just seperate the pages. The auto scroll is more of a miss than a hit with people too, multipage will eliminate that...

I agree with whats been said completely. I started off as a webdesigner, i must have been about 12. Though i wouldnt say i was a webdesigner back then, just interested. I only ever made websites for my family, and looking at them now, they are still better than what i've seen people offer! I...

This is a subject that i need to figure out too! I'm hoping to get a few webdesign jobs within the next few weeks, and i'm unsure what to charge. I've heard £20 per hour, which seems like it may scare of some clients. As i've just finished a FdA in grapic design, and as a starter freelance...

I've just tried this for my website. It got 5/100! I guess i need to look at alot of things to improve on that score!

I've created my new website to house my online portfolio: Mark Goodyear Freelance Graphic Designer I've had quite positive feedback so far, but I'm sure there's more constructive criticism out there! It's all fully coded and designed by me. It also became a big learning tool too...

@Boss Hog: I like that, never even thought of putting it to the side! could try experimenting with something similar! @pcbranding: A few people have said that too, some have said it looks like an "a". I wasn't asking for instructions, i just wasn't sure what you were meaning :) This how its...

As i've been developing my website, i was using 2b from the set above. The more i see it, the more i think something is not quite right. So whilst developing, ive used 2b, and 1c, on alternatate pages, and so far 1c is looking the better. I can't belive i spent so much time, when really the...

The logo will be going on my website, and most likely a new business card in time. Both of them will say who i am and what i do, which is basically what Tim said. Therefore do i really need a logo which says what i do? If i removed the word DESIGN from the top line, the logo would look really...

Thanks for the opinions Tim! After many hours, variations, tweaks, i have come up with a final 2 logos, based from the first ones in my original post. Each one has 3 variations, which is making me hard to choose from! 1a; from the original post, removed "graphic" and altered the...

Hello! I'm looking for critisism / suggestions towards a logo i'm trying to make for myself. I'm a freelance graphic / web designer looking to create a logo that is interesting and appealing. As i'm very keen with typography, i have decided to go down the name initial route, my initials being...
