Examples of HTML Portfolios

[Aaron2004]

Hello all,

 

I need to create a portfolio, but it seems like whenever I search for portfolio ideas, they are almost always done in Flash...which I don't have. Does anybody have any good examples of HTML based portfolios for inspiration?

 

Thanks!

Do a google search on web templates - there are some pretty good ones out there. If you have a design concept in mind it's best to sit down and design it yourself then figure out how to build it. Macromedia fireworks is a good tool for laying out your webpage and saving it out in HTML format.

Even without Flash, you can insert Flash files into your HTML. This is a common approach. For example, buy this nice little viewer here for 25 bones... http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1183529

or get a free one like simple viewer. Follow directions to drop it into your HTML and off you go.

 

Post your results when you are done?

Good luck,

Scott

Why did you take it down Strat it seemed like it wasn't active for long.

it was up for exactly a year. it was up there originally as an excersize to proove to myself i could write it purely in html, but it didn't serve a purpose ultimatly. it didn't gain me 1 extra client and was more a hastle updating it than the worth of it. so i let my subscription run out. i'm one of the only cg guys i know without a web site, but hey, my client turnover has never been stronger (or it was until i put everything on stop recently..... )

 

if peeps want to see my work i'll contact them personally.

I like this one. It was similar to my html site before I went flash. It was similar in that I had a stack of renderings that a user could use the scroll wheel to see. Their renderings are pretty sweet too.

Seems like your not keen on showing your work to anyone other than potential clients.... ;]

i think it's more the case of i just can't be ares3d

Thanks for all the help with the HTML site. The Flash viewer does look tempting...but I would seriously hate for a potential client who doesn't have flash to not be able to see it. I have to gear my site both towards CG people and individual construction people. The latter probably only having a bare bones computer.

 

As long as we are on the subject of Portfolios, I thought I would also update my resume...but I've been out of college for a few years now. How much pre-real-world experience do you normally put down on your resume? For instance, should I mention scholarships as I did in my resume 2 years ago?

 

Right now I'm kind of gearing it towards only mentioning what I graduated in with what GPA, even though my original resume was ALL college (and a SMALL amount of high school).
