My Website/Portfolio








The website I made at the end of my 1st year at college doesn't look good at all.

At the time it was a good exercise, and the 1st year of college was a lot more about covering the full spectrum of disciplines withing the digital design sector. The site basically encapsulates the 1st year course, with lots of different projects, which were all covered in a an introductory way.

The look of the site and all the work shown is miles away from I'd like it to be, and not anywhere near where it should be to get work, so the plan for my year 2 site will be different; I plan to design a single good looking page, which will house 2 or 3 QuickTime videos (if they are good enough) and/or a showreel. I may also have a few stills or storyboard images. I will try to design a new identity and base the page around that. This one spells amateur!

We won't be briefed to address the site again until nearly Easter time, so that gives me an extra reason to focus on the portfolio. My work for year 2 so far shows some promise, but I still need to work through my observer brief production, and I want to improve the look of the some of the design before I complete the After Effects production.

I see all this as positive and yet another reason to work really hard on my work.
