Lee Burrow’s portfolio displays each item in it’s own surrounding color scheme. Interesting idea and I like that. Plus, he uses empty space wherever possible.

Actually I once had the idea (but not the customer) for an optician. You start with a blurry image and then have a sharp one. This works for photgraphers as well :-)
Besides that this portfolio is nothing special, a lot of space that’s not being used but I’m a fanboy of that.

PositiveZero

This creative studio has a very fluid portfolio website. As you might know, fluid sites are always a bit unharmonic, chaotic, even ugly. Too many different sizes. But PositiveZero keeps the design simple and it works pretty fine. Check out their illustrations, lovely.
Three things noteworthy, they don’t use the usual lightbox but just replace the images with larger ones which makes the whole thing a bit chaotic, interesting to see such a thing. And they use flash for the navigation, when did we abandon that? Oh, and the alternate link for the RSS-Feed is missing in the html head.

Edouard’s portfolio is a very colored and playful flash website. Sadly it manages to piss me off right away, with this annoying error message (see other screenshots) about my viewport being to small.
What I really like is the very interesting navigation in the portfolio. You really have to look at that.

new front page

Alex complained a bit about what the front page of the new plasticpilots looked liked but I think with the new one it’s much better now.


all new and flying

It’s been a month now since Alex and I started talking and since Sunday the new software is online and live. A few things have changed besides that.


upcoming changes at plasticpilots

It’s been a few months months since Alex wrote about letting go plasticpilots and finally he found someone.
