Portfolio Templates

I thought I was close to finishing my portfolio project but apparently I need to start over.  I got a feedback from our instructor and what he said to me made sense.  When he browse through my portfolio page layout, he thought he didn't know which one to click on first (out of the six icons).   He recommended that I should put my most important piece or the best work I've done first.  My layout right now have three columns in round shapes and all six are equally sized but I explained to him that all my work - in terms of quality - they are equally the same.  I am still unsure of which direction I would like to concentrate on whether web design or print design, etc.  He said I could explain this in class during our presentation but now he made me think of changing my website altogether.  I don't have enough time but we'll see if I can tackle it in a few days...worst comes to worst I'll just have to present the original version.

I looked through this 200 best web design templates and now there's so many to choose from.

Motion Typography

Animography is a webshop/typefoundry specializing in animated typefaces. The animated typefaces are Adobe After Effects files and our geared towards motion designer and video editors. They can be used to quickly create title sequences, TV commercials, presentations, on-stage concert graphics, etc.

The typefaces range in price from free to $43 USD. The company also produces tutorials deomonstrating the basic techniques for working with animated typefaces. 

Each typeface also comes with a promo video showing the typeface in action, like this one for Anodine - a vibrant springy typeface:



Here's Bahn, a typeface inspired by the old austrian bahn signs:




And finally Haywire, a clean monoline typeface:

Second Post - yay!


This was my mail out flyer project that I created in my Illustrator class in term 2 that I will be including in my portfolio website.  I used all sorts of tools and different typography with different colour scheme that matches with my coffee logo.  There was a 3-d building poster that came with this but I am still revising it.

The stripe orange/white canopy, I used the pathfinder "minus" tool as I needed to make them even on the edge. I also included some vector images (on right) including the vintage background to give it a rustic style.
