2 Design Portfolios

http://ryanscherf.net/

I enjoyed this porfolio because it is a continuous page.  It is very streamlined and pleasing to the eye.  However, there are some points where it becomes very packed with visual information.  Aside from that it is top notch. There are also multiple ways of contacting the designer.

This was in particular a great website especially because of the multi-page layout.  It has alot of visual appeal and is also neat and organized.

Personal Work

I just wanted to share a couple images of some work I've done.  This time I am going to post some character illustrations I worked on.  Hope you enjoy it!


The above image is a bust (or semi-bust) of a character from the online game, Planetside 2. The prominent colors were from a spectrum of blues, browns, grays, with a dash of yellow.

Overall, these two illustrations were incredibly enjoyable to work on, and I am happy with the outcome!

A Website I Visit Alot

One website that I like visiting in particular is a website called "The Best Designs."  This website features alot of other visually interesting websites that can serve as great examples for things you would be interested in designing as well.  It has a very clean, polished look and it is fairly easy to navigate.  They have also incorporated the use of pins, so if you truly like a website and wish to pin it to Pintrest, or something along those lines, you can do so.  It also provides the basic details such as the url, the artist, and so forth.  Overall the websites' design does it good, and does not distract or cause unwanted attention to certain parts.  The only only qualm I have is that I think the header should be a little larger and bold.
