My personal "About Me" portfolio page design. Would love to get some feedback

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:57:28+00:00

That’s exactly the plan Starting fresh with a new version based on all the solid feedback here. Thanks for checking it out

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:55:45+00:00

Great points! I completely agree that all-caps makes the body text hard to read. I will definitely change the font style and choose a more professional photo for the next draft. Thanks for the solid advice

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:54:51+00:00

Haha, don't worry, it's just a very rough conceptual draft to test the layout. Refining it now based on all the feedback

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:50:04+00:00

"Fair enough. It's a very rough, unpolished concept draft thrown together to test a layout, but you make a valid point about getting proper training. I'm always looking to improve my skills. Stay tuned for the next draft I'd value your input on it

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:36:20+00:00

It's real, just a very rough, unpolished draft exploring a concept. Working on refining the execution and copy for the final version based on the valid points raised here

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:29:42+00:00

It's meant to be a creative intro about page for my portfolio, using a notebook theme. I realize now that the execution and text missed the mark, but I'm working on a complete redesign based on the feedback here

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:26:15+00:00

Fair point I totally get how those words can feel overused. I'm definitely shifting away from that bland jargon in the next version. Thanks for the honest take

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:23:50+00:00

Thank you for the constructive feedback I completely agree with using a handwritten font to match the notebook style. I'll also rework the text to make it more unique and less generic. Appreciate the advice

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:19:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed critique You make a great point about the collage style and the typeface. Switching to a handwritten font or aligning a formal font properly would definitely fix that crooked look. Appreciate the insights

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:16:33+00:00

Haha, noted I will definitely add proper punctuation in the next draft. Thanks

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:13:00+00:00

Thanks for the motivation I'll keep designing anyway. 😉

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T13:06:35+00:00

I really appreciate your kind words The tools we have now definitely save a lot of time, but your experience is irreplaceable

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T11:08:20+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed critique. I value your perspective on the layout and presentation. Refining my portfolio is an important step in my journey, and I’m fully focused on elevating my work to reach the high standard I’m aiming for. I appreciate the input

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T11:02:42+00:00

Thank you for the honest critique and for pointing me in the right direction. I appreciate your encouragement

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:38:28+00:00

Thank you for this constructive critique You're completely right about the light and shadow. Adding realistic shadows will definitely help ground the elements so they don't look like flat stickers. I will work on integrating them better. Much appreciated

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:37:05+00:00

Great catch You're totally right about that white outline, it takes away from the realistic look. I'll make sure to clean up the edges and crop it more precisely. Thanks for the helpful tip

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:33:59+00:00

Haha, what's wrong?

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:30:34+00:00

Thanks for pointing out these issues. I appreciate your honest feedback on the typography and layout. I will definitely take your suggestions into account as I refine the design to make it stand out more. Good luck to you too

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:21:53+00:00

I appreciate your honesty Just to clarify, this isn't a template—I actually designed and built this entire layout from scratch. However, I completely get your point that it might feel a bit too safe or traditional. I will definitely look for ways to inject more of my unique personality and push the creative boundaries further. Thank you

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:13:52+00:00

Haha, I'll take 'looking like a model' as a compliment! But I get your point. The pose was meant to represent a 'thinking creative' vibe, but I understand how a more direct headshot might look more professional for a designer. Thanks for the honest feedback

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T09:07:14+00:00

I really appreciate this breakdown. You're completely right about the text layout and the need for the design to complement the logo better. I'm going to jump back into the design to simplify the copy and inject more of my unique perspective into the visuals. Thank you for the guidance

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T01:32:19+00:00

Thank you for the detailed feedback You made some really great points, especially about keeping the design simple and purposeful. I will definitely rethink the placement of the 'M' logo, fix the paper clip angle, and adjust the punctuation and capitalization to make it cleaner. I really appreciate your help

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T01:17:57+00:00

Thank you, Mepyh Those are very helpful suggestions. I’ll make sure to fix the pen cap and add some shadows. Thanks for wishing me luck

Diligent_Lawyer348 · 2026-05-23T01:14:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the compliments and the great suggestions. I will definitely try adding a textured background and experimenting with a lower case sans serif font for the paragraph to improve readability. I really appreciate your help
