...well the Thread Title DOES say "FWA" :)
Anyway, so back to the point of there "not being any kick-ass portfolio sites out there anymore".
Says who? :)
I personally have gone the 1pager route like the good little DesignWhore I am -- but I did it because I believe in that model.
You know. Just show the effing work in a simple way so that normal people (i.e. not us) can just see the work and let it speak for itself.
I personally find making "kick-ass portffolio sites" EXTREMELY HARD, because we, as designers, have NO product and NO brand to sell and communicate. With leaves me feeling stupid for wasting sooo much time showing off for now REAL REASON.
I'd rather work on a "kick-ass" site for a client with something tangible...than try to create one of those "totally immersive interactive universe" just to show people my 6 best projects.
:)
Some might think that's silly...
I think alot of people see it that way now...and after you've been in a meeting. And in one case had the 100% SUPERFLASH SITE, and the other, a simpler 1pager, you will see that the simpler method works best.
At least it has for me...
"Yes sir, no just scroll down...yep that site I did for...ahhmmm, yep thanks, that one there is for...that one is in Flash...."
You get the idea :)
