The first portfolio I looked at online was a personal site through Wordpress by Kat called Kat's PR Portfolio . I like that she used a blog to run her own personal page, because it has a familiar feel to it. Someone who has experience with WordPress would be able to navigate through it fairly painlessly. The color organization is very simple, but the page does seem somewhat cluttered to a point. It is easy though to see what is a link and what is just text.
The second one was Lyndsey Kujawa's. Her site was very simple, which I liked, and clear headings on how to navigate the site. No scrolling required, just simple and easy. You can see her resume, portfolio, contact info, an her bio all in one click. I really like how her site looks, I would make mine a little more fun.
An example of something I do NOT want is here. This looks like garbage. I feel like I could create this from the ground up with no help from Dreamweaver. it has old colors, old pictures, and very basic looking designs and basic colors. If I ever make a site like this I would be asking to not be hired!
I like the color scheme here. The only issue I have is with the size of the text, and the fact that there is too much text. Keep it simple. The colors look good but less is more! Use fewer words with more links that make it simple to navigate the site.
This blog/portfolio was sidetracked. They never put up any pictures, and eventually turned it into a social media love fest with the blog. They used small icons and a distracting vibrant color for the back ground that make it hard to focus on what was being written, which in turn is why the writer gave up.
