Looking at Other Websites

I wanted to revisit the websites we had a quick exercise on in the first lesson. 

I wanted to clarify what I liked and hopefully it will help me further realise what design aspects I wanted in my own website.

Although the website is colourful and really shows off Bryony's talent and personality, I would prefer for mine to not appear like a blog, the way this does. I'd like it to be cleaner and something I would update periodically with complete pieces of work rather than regular updates - like a blog.

These examples are much more to my taste. Clean, lots of white and - in Jason Brobert's case - with an accent of colour. I want to do something similar to this as it appears very professional but simple. I also like the idea of panels which have a rollover image but I'm not sure I would have enough work to display in this way.

Again this is similar but with a lot more colour. It's really nice and uniformed to his brand - even in his showreel - which works really well. However, once again I would like less on mine.

This is an example of clean and professional but I feel a tad boring. But then again, it is all about the work and not the web design.
