i am a senior graduating this may. I have redesigned my web portfolio and started working on coding.. and i realize it looks like shit on a pc (color wise) but good on my mac... what should i do?

Shit in what way? And this is probably due to lack of pc browser icc profile support if anything
- although firefox 3 does support it but not by defaultkalkal
- I'll look into the icc profile profile (i have no clue what that is)

Could just be the monitor you are using?

the color is correct on Mac since i selected it on my labtop but when i view it on pc it's more dull and disgusting..- Looks fine to me but I don't know how it looks on your mac...kalkal

Does your mac have a glossy screen? It could be that... try viewing it on a PC with a similar screen as ukit suggests?

i have a mac, can we see a screen shot of it on a pc?
- i tried taking a screenshot on my pc and viewing it on my mac and there's no different. so it might be my monitor?

never embed an icc profile unless you are certain ur audience is using a profile that can properly read such images

Colours will never look exactly the same on two displays even of the same model. For example even the age of a screen will affect the output of colour because over time, the backlight will loose intensity. The best way of getting more "accurate" colour is using a hardware calibrator on all the screens you wish to use but as most people don't even do this (or even care) just don't worry about it too much :)

just use photoshop > view > proof setup
You can see your work in several different color settings

Oh, other than that, have you tried upping the framerate of your flash file to make those sliding animations a little smoother?
- oh i haven't thanks for the tip i will definitely try that!plusminusbox

I wouldn't call them dull, more pastel
- her print examples look dull, her web stuff look ok. No?********
- Strangley, it's the other way around. Strange because I imagine the menu is vector and unaffected by icc profiles..kalkal
- Go figure! This girl is in trouble!!! LOL!********
- ... kidding! I do hate college portfolios though!********
- ... kidding again! :-)********
- oh haha i am deeply in trouble. my teachers told us to have back up plans when we graduate cause of the economy

You have an extra space in Illustrator in the "technical skills section"
Looks fine on my PC, and I would double check all your words before you graduate. Good luck and nice work!
