Research Into Professional Portfolios

In order to get a better idea of the different ways people present their work online I decided to find a few examples of web portfolios.

The first example I really liked was the website of James Paterson. It is presented in a very informal blog style with a detailed breakdown of projects as well as a journal of works in progress.


Although I really like this informal style I don't feel like I would have enough to write about each project to be able to pull a website this detailed off.

The next one I looked at was Tim Lahan's personal site. I really like the more simple menu with a single tile representing each piece of work, if I use something similar then adding more items shouldn't be a problem in terms of design changes.


The final site I looked at belonged to the Dutch design agency Studio airport. Its very similar to the previous one but with a horizontal menu. I think I with pursue something similar to the two of these for my personal portfolio, keeping things clean and minimal with a single image for each piece of work that leads to a separate page.
