I've been quiet on Dribbble for a while because most of my time has been filled with programming more than design. But finally, a rainy day yesterday forced me to finish what I had planned to finish in August. The redesign of my personal portfolio should be launching soon. Hope you like what you see so far. :) (In case you are wondering, the font is Lodgecode from YouWorkForThem.com. I really love this font.)
Big fan of the typeface and the color choice. The only thing that's a bit off to me is the string; I'm guessing that you want it to look like a tag, but it looks a bit tacked on to me. I'm not sure how to fix it; maybe removing the drop shadow?
Yeah. My first version had no hole/string at all. I thought it needed some depth and detail. I may actually launch without it at all and go back to my first version. Thanks for the suggestion!
Dig the colors Angela, particularly the green. I'm a bit of a freak for the color green. :) I'm also partial to the string (just for the record) as I think little environmental touches like that can be cool. Maybe the only thing that's needed there is a string coming back out the backside of the 'tag'? Looking forward to seeing the new site.
Hi Joshua! Thanks for the comments. I have been tweaking that string a bit trying to get it just right - will definitely try wrapping the string around too. :) Good to see you here! Can't wait to see your shots.
