Portfolio Website - Daniel Guillan

What's the goal of your portfolio? Mine is to get more work. If yours has the same goal, it seems that your "hire me" box is too hidden. It's like you're not just saying "hire me" but you're actually saying "hire me or whatever".

I like how you separated the the navigation in 3 sections. That's clever.

why cut off the head? show the face,show confidence.

The good: Really appealing and clean. Very nice. Love the colours, looks like it will be easy to navigate, clear info on the portfolio pages.

The bad: I would get rid of the picture of you as well. What is the purpose? What it says to me is you're a slightly sloppy college guy. While I would love the pic for a personal site, it doesn't work for a site where you're trying to get work.

I've seen this style of site alot lately (including cut off body), so while it's appealing and clean and nice to look at, it's not very original. (http://www.apple.com/ http://digitalmash.com/ http://www.lsasearch.co.uk/ and many more)

Overall, I think it's really good and will help get you work.

I really like the design and the layout a lot. I also love the way you set up the page for the page with individual project details. Overall it's a great design!

Now, the few things I would change.

The reflection/shadow under the screenshots on your home page look strange. I would do a very subtle reflection that matches all the way across.

I also agree that the hire me link is too small and hidden. I would add it to the main navigation instead. I know that Contact is already there but that doesn't let people know that you are for hire.

That's Truly Special... This is an awesome design, can't wait to see it live...

I agree with the "hire me" comments maybe you should highlight it a bit with the pink in special, so that it stands out a bit more...

Really nice site design, colors look good, layout is awesome.

The truly special header seems like an afterthought, I would work with it some.

I like the rest of the design, clean, simple, interesting. My only other advice is to either cut the body off at the neck or show the entire face, showing just the chin seems odd.

Overall good work.

I think we all are special one way or another and the proof shines within the work. Awesome concept though. Clean and very engaging. And just looking at your chin is disturbing but funny.

I really like this design, very well thought out and your work definitely stands out as the focus. There are a few things I would think about. One, your logo doesn't seem to match the caliper of your site here. I would think about creating a log that is "Truly Special". Also the tag lines below the logo at first glance look like navigation items. I would think about creating a one line tagline, instead of a three liner. Two, I'm not sure about the person on the page, assuming that it is you. I don't like that your face is cut off and I'm just not sure if it goes with the rest of your site. I would think about removing the picture completely. Finally, love the colors you have chosen but would encourage you to tie them more throughout the page. Just some thoughts, keep up the good work!

Beautiful theme. The only thing is removing the white from the background images behind the first background images.

I love pretty much every aspect about this design but liek the title says - if you remove that then it will be perfect.

In my eyes anyway :)

If it's not just about showcasing but about getting more work, i'd put the hire me box on the bottom right and give the HIRE ME heading that same magenta as the truly special heading. If you have 3 boxes, the middle box is the most overlooked one. But that's it. i have nothing else to complain about :D

is like aple displayed there one pages. I think is good, but today we see a lot pages like your own... But good job ;)

Overall its cool. But I would love to see a little more content on homepage.

I love the layout overall- great use of white space, accent colors, and imagery. I especially like the use of the caret shape in the navigation and widget-ish areas.

I like the styling of the 'Truly Special.' header, but it seems a little repetitive between pages. I would either restrict it to the home page, or come up with a different phrase with the same treatment on other pages.
