Ok, still responding. I’ll push on your portfolio a little bit here, but for a graphic designer to use Courier on their site... not the greatest font. Or is there a specific reason you use it? I once saw a portfolio review that was entirely in courier, and when asked why he used it, he explained he said “if you can make something look great in courier, you can do it with any font”. I don’t agree and still didn’t like it, but I like and respect that he had a clear rationale behind it.
Also for a graphic designer, your grid, spacing, padding, and layout are a little rough to me.. for example, having all the text flush against the blue border gives a bit of an anxious and tight feeling around the readability.
As a side note, I also prefer a sentence of two about the product and what you were looking to achieve.
Sorry if I’m going off track, but it seems like you want contrastive advice and thoughts.
- You say that, but someone here on QBN has a REALLY nice portfolio, and it's all Courier.dMullins
