I’m finally satisfied with Crystal’s portfolio design, but all it took was the buffer of a single day’s work. The final print work for Tandem turned out nicely, but I’m still sort of attached to some of the ditched designs, so I decided to upload them.
I like the way the final designs turned out, but this feels like the perfect application of Vitrina.
I finally got around to assembling a page for flash animation, and realized it’s the first place I had assembled any examples of my work into something resembling a portfolio.
As long as I’m posting huge graphics on the top page, here’s the full jewel box for Crystal’s portfolio.
It feels so good to be done.
I found the Super Jewel Box cases used by Jewelboxing at the 20% off sale from Sleeve City (scroll for Super Jewel Box King, they can probably be found anywhere) for $1.25 before discount, so I should probably stock up. These cases are great, and they really polish up well; I can see why they picked them for Jewelboxing. I still love that site’s concept, and they’ve done an excellent job of taking a common item and presenting it as a value brand with examples and peer contributors, along with professional context, but at the end of the day it still smells like Starbucks to me– which is not to say that Coudal Partners don’t produce anything but truly beautiful web layouts, just that I can’t ask someone else to shell out for these in good conscience when an identical physical product is available at a lower price.
