elephant! (my portfolio site v3)

Spiral · 09-05-2004, 01:06 AM

Hey guys, I finished my latest design a couple weeks ago, but I'm finally happy with it enough to show it off around a bit.

The design is far from standard, I'm sure some people will hate it, while others might love it.

Anyways...

http://spiralalchemy.pt.vu

I tried to make the design to match my personality, everything on the site is either an inside joke among my friends, or a quote or something. Everything is intentional even the spelling mistakes. I mean, nobody is perfect are they?

I wanted a site that was less serious and moody, my last one was far too depressing for me, I'm a pretty upbeat and happy guy so I don't think my portfolio should be pushing people into depression.

Its goofy/nerdy and I'm not afraid to admit it.

agree
I think the background distracts too much, can't really focus on the text

Ah man, that is way cool. I'm digging the background --looks like your mind exploded and that's what came out of it. Or maybe something out of a crazy dream. Hehe.... anyway, good stuff.

That is probably the best description I've ever heard. I'm totally going to use that from now on.
