Hello all! ^^

Based on designnumber18 submission of his portfolio I decided to share my own as well.

I have recently launched my portfolio at:

Ana Rita Cruz

Please do give feedback/comments!

Thank you!

Hey!

You have a very nice portfolio.

The only thing that bothers me is the large header of the website. It takes 60% of the screen, and you have to scroll down to see the first portfolio item.

Other than that i digg the clean design and the light colors.

Thank you for the nice words and I am very glad you liked the design of it!

About the header, I do understand where you come from but I have opted it to stay that height in order to give it a more aesthetic look, if you click on the 'Works' link, on the nav, it scrolls right to the beggining of the works section! But thanks for the input!

Hey, nice portfolio! I featured this thread on the frontpage of DesignContest.net!

[Thusi]

Thank you!

Wasn't it expecting it at all, you were very kind! I don't know what to say!

Gives me more motivation to crack on the design elite team application and get some work done!

Thank you once again!

I like that you just show the work.

I hate when designers TALK about design and then make you click ten times to find any of it. There's so much blah-blah-blah about "what design can do for your business", "get a quote" buttons (which are about what design can do for the designers' business) and lists of skills.

Your site shows confidence.

Nice.

Really enjoyed reading your feedback inntoon!

I just wanted to show my work in a simple clean way, as I am looking for a job I thought it would be the easiest way of doing so, let the employers see the work! ^^

I am glad you got it and you liked it!

Thank you!

Feels ordinary, though has some attitude, which no doubtly works. Pink is both trivial and eye-catching, therefore could be considered as an extra. And I have no bad remarks on giant headers, I even kinda salute you on that.

nice portfolio...your CV style is great

[Thusi]

@Maxson Thanks for the feedback! I really liked what you pointed out and am feeling quite good with the option for a big header! Really enjoyed the way you said it looks ordinary but with a difference. It is good to have a different and original product but I think sometimes it is also nice to get that familiarity that allows users to use it with ease! I'm happy you got what I was aiming for!

@ideamaker Thank you! I am happy you liked it! ^^

illustrations are just awesome!!!! , a lot of style!
keep it up

[eienblue25]

Wow... I confused, is it still need to be critiqued? XD

I love them all, especially the illustration Cinderella part.
That was awesome girl..
You're great artist.. I love the color, the background, etc.

The only thing, just in my oppinion, the font in "About" column is rather difficult to be read. Maybe you should add more space between the font. The "Contact" column too.

You're great artist *clap* ^^

Wow, great job! The bright pink works really well on your site - it makes it stand out without being too "girly". You have an impressive portfolio too.

Your portfolio has confidence for sure. As an illustrator myself I appreciate the work you do, particularly the 15 page booklet about yourself. Did you actually use traditional mediums for that?
