Hey, I literally just finished up my portfolio (again). I was wondering if I could get some feedback on it. I don't think there are any bugs but if you spot anything (typos, broken links, etc...) please let me know. I coded it all myself (except for the wordpress portion) - PHP/MySQL and CSS. http://www.humanboy.com Thoughts? 2008-09-24T10:54:15-04:00 26 2008-06-25T23:28:04-04:00 true 0 4582 false false 1498 473 1 2009-11-21T03:24:01-05:00 514 looks good to me! 4582 Post 2008-06-25T23:47:52-04:00 119249 1404 2008-06-25T23:47:52-04:00 the "what I can do..." title sticks when switching between that and the main page. I'm not sure how I feel about scrolling through all the work, but I like it! 4582 Post 2008-06-25T23:48:13-04:00 119250 497 2008-06-25T23:48:13-04:00 pretty good heres some thoughts - try arranging your work in thumbnails, then when they click on it it goes to the work.. you know, i dont like scrolling through a lot of stuff - Lower the width of the message form - Work a little more on the logo a little? - "un-italicize" the header words? like the what i've done etc... well imo i think itll look better overall goodwork 4582 Post 2008-06-25T23:48:14-04:00 119251 2940 2008-06-25T23:48:14-04:00 personally, I hate thumbnails and love scrolling. and "rabid" teddy bear has one "b" 4582 Post 2008-06-25T23:59:04-04:00 119254 1404 2008-06-25T23:59:04-04:00 I would maybe organize your tee shirts and websites together. but other then that nice 4582 Post 2008-06-26T00:33:57-04:00 119274 1328 2008-06-26T00:33:57-04:00 @David and Monuments: You both touched down on things that I wasn't super excited about - The individual headers on the pages and the contact form. @skullface: Thanks. I fixed the typo. @Andrew: I think once I have more websites to list I'm going to keep the separated into individual pages. ------------- Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Keep it coming. 4582 Post 2008-06-26T00:37:45-04:00 119279 473 2008-06-26T00:37:45-04:00 If you don't mind my asking, how are the letter pins selling. I think its a good idea. 4582 Post 2008-06-26T00:42:20-04:00 119286 506 2008-06-26T00:42:20-04:00 You need to work on your hierarchy. The logo is as big as "What I've done". I also think the type is to large for most of the site. 4582 Post 2008-06-26T00:45:09-04:00 119289 1219 2008-06-26T00:45:09-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quakerninja said:</cite> If you don't mind my asking, how are the letter pins selling.

I'm not really move a whole lot of anything at the moment, but when I'm whoring myself around there's usually a good amount of people wanting letter pins. Usually if there's a pin order, someone orders at least one. Oddly, though, the big sellers from there are the punctuation marks. 4582 Post 2008-06-26T00:46:41-04:00 119291 473 2008-06-26T00:46:41-04:00 At first I was confused in the organization of front page, but it only took a few second of scrolling to get it. I love the name HumanBoy! 4582 Post 2008-06-26T01:19:07-04:00 119314 245 2008-06-26T01:19:07-04:00 Thanks, Nate. Any suggestions as to relieve confusion? 4582 Post 2008-06-26T01:21:59-04:00 119316 473 2008-06-26T01:21:59-04:00 [UPDATE] I just re-did it. I was wondering if I could get some more feedback. [/UPDATE] 4582 Post 2008-09-23T18:52:50-04:00 206469 473 2008-09-23T18:52:50-04:00 I don't like the blue you used. It's too saturated, you can find something better. 4582 Post 2008-09-23T19:16:37-04:00 206504 1219 2008-09-23T19:16:42-04:00 Hmm... my girlfriend didn't like the blue either. I guess I'll work on changing it. Any other thoughts? 4582 Post 2008-09-23T19:53:56-04:00 206546 473 2008-09-23T19:53:56-04:00 it hurts my eyes a little everything else is pretty good. Maybe lose the box around the logo. I don't see a need for it. 4582 Post 2008-09-23T20:04:22-04:00 206553 1219 2008-09-23T20:05:36-04:00 I changed it to green. What do you think? 4582 Post 2008-09-23T22:12:48-04:00 206644 473 2008-09-23T22:12:48-04:00 better 4582 Post 2008-09-23T22:22:55-04:00 206654 2940 2008-09-23T22:22:55-04:00 I like the design. It's nice and clean. I'm not a big fan of lightbox though. It's so slow opening. I need instant gratification!!! 4582 Post 2008-09-23T22:25:04-04:00 206659 1661 2008-09-23T22:25:04-04:00 Thanks. @justgeoff: Lightbox wasn't my first choice. I'm torn between doing it this way and making separate pages for each design. 4582 Post 2008-09-23T22:47:50-04:00 206687 473 2008-09-23T22:47:50-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quixotic said:</cite> Thanks. @justgeoff: Lightbox wasn't my first choice.

WEB = HYPERLINK 4582 Post 2008-09-23T23:06:23-04:00 206702 7696 2008-09-23T23:06:23-04:00 That's one of the main reason to use lightbox. I can't keep links in the description. 4582 Post 2008-09-23T23:57:13-04:00 206737 473 2008-09-23T23:57:13-04:00 As far as layout goes.. Looks good... Just kinda flipped through though. 4582 Post 2008-09-24T00:16:09-04:00 206748 8810 2008-09-24T00:16:09-04:00 There's other lightboxes. I have to agree with Geoff, this one is a bit clunky. I like the new green color. The only thing I would change is the text color for the headings at the very bottom to white to simplify things. 4582 Post 2008-09-24T01:27:38-04:00 206798 1219 2008-09-24T01:27:38-04:00 I'm looking into other lightboxes. I know there's one out there that you can put solid html/websites into. Thanks for all the input, everyone. 4582 Post 2008-09-24T10:04:27-04:00 206974 473 2008-09-24T10:04:27-04:00 I like it, minimalist and effective... I would have to agree tho that the Web thumbs should DEFINITELY take you to the live site, or at least link it up in the info under the lightbox image 4582 Post 2008-09-24T10:54:15-04:00 207026 1498 2008-09-24T10:54:15-04:00
