anyone looking for legitimate well paying design work / job will have a better chance with a one page folio site.
reasons. form and function.
would you rap your hard case portfolio with gradients, and bright colors. a pink bow?? maybe put a latch that's really hard to open so the client can't get to your work easily!
no. you keep it simple. let the work show.
now on the other hand coke needs an ugly douche bagged gradient cherry coke selling piece of shit. that's when you do that.
very few designer sites "that blow my mind" graphic wise, have much to offer content wise.
all the effort is in the site, and not day to day concepts or overall work.
there are exceptions though and we all know who they are.
plus there are a shit load of designers out there now and if you have 3 or 4 kickass sites that you've personally designed and programmed in your portfolio then a site that's hard to navigate and competes with the look of your projects makes no sense.
form and function.
