You Don’t Work at Apple: Unless you do, in which case carry on. Otherwise, enough with the iPhone and iMac glory shots. Shallow depth of field is awesome, but please just make sure you can actually see and evaluate the design you actually did. If it’s a flat design UI kit then you may be better off hiding it behind a thumb.

Colophon: These about/colophon/more sections come in a variety of forms but they all serve the same purpose: divert real estate away from your work. Obviously you are obsessed with kerning. Obviously you “design by hand”. Just about everything written on this page is table stakes; I assume all of this to be true when I arrive on a designer’s portfolio. Telling me again that you have a moleskin, like colors, and use fonts is redundant.

This is how you make the worst portfolio ever. Do not do this. If this looks like your website, change your website. It’s very easy to fix: stop stating the obvious and show off your work instead.
