mikefortuna - portfolio description
After much work, deciding and weeding through the many different designs, I've finally completed my portfolio. My choice of design is a sleek, simple, yet artsy look and feel.
This was also the final choice, after sifting through 12 other designs I created. I've also decided to use this blog for my news posting regarding my design services, such as print, web and identity. The homepage of the site, found to the left, is of utter simplicity, and contains only logo - welcome message - and navbar. My reasoning behind it is easy - simple sells. (well, so does sex, but sex doesn't get you a job... - or does it?)
Also included in the site, is a gallery of some of my work. To the right is a picture of the gallery. The reason I decided to completely change the coloring and look of the gallery as opposed to the site itself, is due to the simple fact that my work is a part of me, but it is different than my actual person. I believe more of my mind is used when I create work. Maybe even the part of the 90% of the brain which they say isn't used.
[You no more use 90% of your brain potential than you use 90% of your muscle potential all of the time.
To say that we use all of our brain, would be like saying Arnold Schwarzenegger or Lou Firigno had as 90 pound teenagers reached the pinnacle of their muscular development.] source: http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/how.html
