I’ve been doing lots of work on my new personal portfolio site and showreel as well as installing wordpress with the aim to get this blog migrated to my personal site fairly soon. I’ve learnt loads already although i still can’t quite get wordpress to do exactly what i want. I think i’ll probably launch it missing some of the nicer features i want and will probably add them at a later date.

Watch this space though! Hopefully everything should be up by the very latest at the end of next month!

I’ve just uploaded a new version of my portfolio online, including some of my latest work.

This portfolio is intended to be something simple and temporary till my new portfolio is finished, in which i’m considering the use of flash. Go check current one out!

I know nowdays that their are probably more social networks to join than ever before but i have recently joined a site called Behance.

This is a social network dedicated to creatives around the world, as with most social networks you sign up and then put some of your details in, including choosing a maximum of 5 areas that are your creative disciplines.

Once you’ve done this you also have effectivly build up your portfolio on the site by linking and uploading projects you have done. You can also join ‘circles’ on the site which are essentially like groups dedicated to specific areas of design or specific projects.

I think the site is a great way to meet other creatives and for possible collaboration on projects.

This week i’ve managed to create a rough mock up of my new portfolio site, there’s still a few tweaks to be done on it but the basics of it are there.

After the previous post i used a grid to design the latest website and i think it shows, theres a much stronger structure in the layout of the site.

It’s been a long time coming but i’m finally in the process of redesigning my website as i feel my current site is letting me down and not showing my true abilities. I’ll also update my showreels to fit with this new website update.

The new website will still be XHTML/CSS but will have bits of flash as well hopefully. I think i’m also going to transfer my hosting to www.sitehq.co.uk as they offer PHP hosting and i’m hoping to use this to start hosting my own blog (amongst other things) on my website.

Watch this space for updates to the new site!
