Portfolio Re-design v4

I think you could better remove the dots in the slogan at the top. Nice colours though.

The orange is kind of throwing me off. I like it in limited use in your design (maybe just for links...) but the random use is kind of visually jarring to be honest. Your eyes don't really know where to go.

Important check your site for grammar. I see two grammar errors on the first page alone and haven't looked deeper.. so you need to be careful with that. Businesses do pay attention to that kind of stuff.

Consider getting rid of the "It's what I do" thing... doesn't do much for the page...

Otherwise, great job.

Hi Alan,

I like the concept of the play on colors in your type. I tried this recently and it is against the Norm. Which I say why not. Just if you are going to call attention by using yellow. Then that is your call of attention. So as long as you want the viewer to read all the yellow after your name, it's cool. So I read it: Alan Horne, sleek, vibrant, it's what I do. Let me make your website, a visual experience. Work, Me, others, want to know more?" So the only word of concern is the word "others" maybe you would like to change it to a word that represents you or to not make it yellow.

Then after I read the yellow and if I'm interested I would, as a viewer, go in and read the rest.

Yellow on white is usually a no go in print. Yet, in this case I think it is readable.

Maybe just bring "it's what i do" in a bit closer to "Functional"

I like the periods in there and your name in red as a signature.

I would make the name more visible, maybe by removing the gray background on the header and making the tagline smaller.

My eye is immediately drawn to that circular logo, and I really don't like it. If this is your portfolio, maybe you should make your name the central focus. Right now, this circle is competing with your name. I like the use of Blackjack as your title font though.

Someone else said check for grammar; I totally agree with that. It's somewhat nitpicky, but grammar mistakes can easily be avoided. Check, double-check, then get a second set of eyes to pore over it.

The red, orange, and grey are not working for me -- I think it's because the red and orange are so close in hue that it doesn't provide enough contrast for meaning. Good use of whitespace and layout though. I would play around with using the same font you have in your title (Blackjack) as you do for your headings to give a more cohesive look. Right now, everything looks kinda bland with the sans-serif headers and sans-serif body font. Provide some contrast with type.

It's all about the colors for me. I hesitated to review this one because I typically don't gravitate toward red/orange, so maybe it's just my opinion rather than what would work for your demographic audience. But the words "Sleek","Cool","Functional" don't imply red/orange to me. This site doesn't say "Vibrant" to me, it says "be excited and hyped-up".

I like the logo image, but maybe integrated with your name. By itself it doesn't seem to communicate anything in particular.

I like the script font used in your name, as well as the fonts generally.

I suspect that as other images under "Latest Work" appear, that anything without red in it might look out of place or clash.

So bottom line: I'd be more muted/cool with the font colors, and make the banner at the top be "sleek,cool,vibrant", maybe with a background image other than the light gray?

I like the menu. Simple and easy to find.

Everything is too white - nothing stands out on the page.

I would make the top strip red - then reverse the logo in white and the nav in white, so then it will stand out more and be more eye-catching.

Move "Hi, my name is Alan", higher up so that it's group with the Title - "Super.Sleek.Cool..."

Latest work would look nice if it was in a light grey block.

With 2 columns at the bottom, try to make the about me section wider, and what others have said shorter, then it will be visually more interesting.

I hope this feedback helps.
