hmm, actually i dun wan to restrict myself as a one-field designer (although thru my studies, i found myself more interested in web design and editorial design), but i think i wan to highlight this two fields (two specific link for them) together with other works as well, eg. logo design, sketches, poster ads blah blah thx again |

QUOTE(madstone @ Apr 5 2006, 02:48 PM) 1. If your website r meant to introduce yourself, please don't use any music. thx 4 ur reply and advicesKinda annoying you know. 2. And please use standard font for viewing. Normally verdana arial times etc etc. 3. Don't leave any space at right or left, better keep it to the left and the top image should be at the top, no space between the image. 4. Don't use any image if it's not yours. Copyright issue since you have your own domain. Make sure you use your own image or manipulated image. Not just take it from another stock photo. Hmmm. More will come.  err, actually the stuff i put on my site is for temporary only, just to hv my web design skill warmed up, but i will take note ur advices  for sure, my webby in 2 months time (submission on end of may), will be original |

QUOTE(r4ydc24 @ May 22 2006, 10:44 AM) ehey~ i went once into ya website when I started hanging around this section. Itz one monotone website i can say... I'm not sure watz the trend nowadays but I do save some shockwave files of european designers (sumwhere in my pc thx for reply, i appreciate it ). compared to them, lyk i said, theirs' are multitones, n yours monotone. and they use very heavy music to make it catchy, n yours, realy mild sound.. but I'm not into soundFX since I failed miserable in making a flash website. ahahaha (bad history..) Thus, I wud suggest u juz use a normal "click" soundfx for ya buttons.. and since u r indeed into graphic design, juz lyk etsuko said, dumping in ya BEST design into ya portfolio section is one nice move. and if u r into a lot of designs, sucs as web, artistic, blablabla, u can juz divide ya portfolio into multiple sections..  . and s a designer's website, i seriously think dat u hafta play wif colors... juz my 2 cents... i know what u mean, but this websites represents me, and i want to say is, im one boring dude! and my lecturer pretty satisfy on my design and it suits me yeah, indeed, it will lost its interesting-ness(?), coz i eliminate the color... but, i feel comfortable with this ( i had my previous designs which is not look like me, i feel sick). and... i like to market myself with neutral way... and i dun wan to create a another-designer's-webpage, i pursue originality well, thx for ur replay again |
