I like it. I didn't read the content, but all I can say is I'd spend more time looking at portfolios that were sent to me if they looked like this... interaction designs don't have a lot of visual sensitivity.

how about a rewrite on your theme line?
"I design beautiful and effective creative love"

I challenge your assertion that you are a gamer.

To be honest, I really do like the template. At least Amanda has good taste and sense of style!

Amanda, I would strongly recommend removing the "+" enlarge feature in your portfolio, considering the enlarged photo is barely larger than the image in your gallery itself.
- that was mentioned on last page.alicetheblue
- Just making sure that she heard the first time, you know how designers are!utopian
- I read :) and yes I agree.AmandaLee

I think the constant skewing of images can be overkill after a while.
It would be nice to have at least one full-size, straight-ahead image of each piece rather than having so many taken from an angle. Especially with webpages where they are not really viewed that way at all.

I like it - template and all.
(I was intrigued by "The Rule of Three" and noticed a typo -
"...connection between then all")that is all :)
- Yeah, that project was so much fun to work on. Thanks for the catch.

works in the fancybox appear littler than inline, no need of fancybox .

To be perfectly honest, I really thought that the "looks great", "like the site", etc. were comments on the overall package. As in, my actual portfolio and work. I am not, and would never, take credit for someone else's work. In the future I won't forget to cite and will be more specific.
Moving on now.

Oh come on this thread is 3 pages revolving primarily around the portfolio itself. Granted she did state in the beginning that she wanted to hear more on the work itself– there was still lots of posts critiquing the site itself and on the second time around a lot of praise for it. There was plenty of time to say "oh btw this is a wordpress template" so we all didn't have to sit here and critique it/praise it as if it were her work.
Yeah in the end it's really no big deal, she's apologetic, and there is nothing wrong with using a template but I think when people give you praise for something instead of sitting there quietly you can cite your sources.

Hey Amanda,
1) Props for showing real work. I wouldn't sweat the template thing. Its not even remotely important. The work is. Focusing on the template is like being given a check for a hundred grand and bitching about the typeface on the check.
2) I like your work a lot, lots of flexibility in your arrangements of type, color theory and photo direction / choices.
3) Noticed you categorized your work by discipline - and think it would be cool if you took an integrated approach for a project or two; come up with an idea or insight, and execute 360º of that idea to show how you think about brands across multiple media types around one central idea.- Thanks so much! I've got a few projects like that (see: NavFit) where i've got the logo, website, print material, and signage and clothing for staff (Just waiting on the photography)AmandaLee
- and clothing for staff (Just waiting on the photography). But definitely will try out a few more like that. Thanks for your feedback!AmandaLee
