10 Online Portfolio that Speak to Me

http://elliotjaystocks.com/portfolio/

This site I enjoy because of the way that the works are divided into separate groups, some of it seems to make me believe that it might have been able to of been worked a little better, but overall I enjoy it for the relative ease of it's use as well as the different clients that the portfolio has worked with.

This site speaks to me with it's overall simplistic feel to the site, even though simplistic isn't exactly simple. I enjoy the way that the works displayed adjusts themselves accordingly. Many of the designs are rather nice and make me feel like I could probably work with someone else who enjoyed making such works.

This site is done in a rather attractive manner to me, I am not sure how exactly I feel about the change to the background. I mean I like it as well because of the way that it actually works, but doesn't exactly explain the reason for it and such. Of course I do really enjoy the way the works are displayed, the slight transparent color laid over the works in the gallery.

This site makes me feel absolutely enthralled with it, even before I looked at any of the works the very setup of the little free flowing tap like objects that and be spun and flung around the area. I spent about 5-10 minutes just playing with them before I started actually looking at the site. I really like the way that the works are displayed and many of them are very nicely done.

This site, similar to the last, excites me right away with the way that all of the little tabs go flying onto the "ground" and then each of them are an individual work that any would be able. This site probably speaks to me the most just in the creative nature at which it was done.

The main reason why this site speaks to me if for the works on their own, however the design of the sites isn't the worst I have ever seen. Though it does seem a bit cluttered and could have been broke up a little more to help display the page as a whole in a better way. The way that the works were displayed though was pretty nice though, enjoying the fact that the role played is pointed out.

The site is very simplistic and presented in a very clean fashion that makes me feel it is easy to navigate, but it could have been displayed in a little bit clearer way. I really like the way the personal information is displayed but it might have been able to have been elaborated a bit more than is presented.

This site is very nice looking and the fact that the loading page shows that it is talking about stitching completed instead of loading. The projects are displayed beautifully, granted I would really like to see what it would look like centered instead of aligned left. The site is easy to navigate and keeps the information provided to be clear and concise.

This site makes me feel a few different ways, I really like the site due to the projects worked on and the quality of the work itself. The only problem is that I feel like the information might have be displayed better to clients if the information was grouped in an organized fashion.

This site shows me a very professional and creative side to the owner, as well as a very in-depth look a the work that the owner has done. The client lists is very impressive alone and believe that the steps listed at the side to get connected with the owner of the site provides a great way of keep in touch with the artist.

Reasons I Enjoy My College

 Keiser University is a school that I wasn't sure about at first, just based on the quickness of the classes. Every class consists of four weeks of classes with varying number of days a week and hours a day. This has turned into something that I both enjoy and loath at the same time, for a multitude of reasons of course. I enjoy the fact that everywhere in the school, no matter what office one could step inside and ask a quick question of someone who works at the school, and most students, to answer a question with an open door policy. The student services department of the school is always willing to be there for anyone, not saying that teachers aren't, and are in ones corner when starting to try and enter the job market with assistance with resume construction and job opportunities that come towards the school.

Most Interesting YouTube Videos I've Seen

 Well this is an interesting post because I don't tend to just wander around YouTube to find strange and funny things. But I have seen several from friends, one such video being "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" this video seems to be a flash movie that expresses a massive battle royal that takes place between a large multitude of characters. I also saw another video called "Extreme Sheep Herding" which is about just that, but the extreme part comes from the fact they herd the sheep in particular manners and end up making a variety of "things" to happen. I don't remember a particular video off the top of my head, but I have used YouTube a large number of times trying to figure out how to do something but keep failing. I have to say that there are a number of the videos that I created, or helped create, are rather interesting to watch. Now this doesn't mean that I don't like all of my creations, but there are a few that are just so much more than the others.

Favorite Resources for Inspiration

 Well the first thing that should be noted about this is the fact that inspiration is one of those things that just creeps up on us, no one is ever really sure when it is going to happen or why but it just does. When I look for inspiration and I am not looking for something particular I tend to look to nature and enjoy some of the little pleasures present in our everyday life. Granted this is something that I like to try and do weather I am looking for inspiration or not. When I am looking for something that requires a little more focus then the internet is one of the first places I turn to. I enjoy deviantart.com because of the fact that it is artwork produced by fellow artists. Granted that isn't generally my first location that I check, that honor generally goes to Google image search. Anyone who has used it knows that the image listings are generally top notch. However when all else fails I take a deep breath and step away from the project for an undetermined amount of time and get my mind off of the project and wait for something to strike up again. Now the only problem with this method is that one must be careful due to the fact that most projects tend to have a deadline and this process can take time depending upon the person.

Favorite Activities Aside from Games

 My favorite things to participate in have actually been very slim the past several years, but the thing is that I mostly enjoy doing stuff with my friends or spending my time on the internet. Of course the internet activities span from entertainment to educational, but mostly entertainment. When I am with my friends I tend to generally watch movies or T.V., listen to music, talk trash to each other in a humorous way, or just talking about things happening in our lives. There are times when I just feel really creative and spend sometime laying on my bed or sitting somewhere and just drawing, however I prefer to draw manga style artwork, or I hope on a computer and try to work on a project that I start out on my own.

Best Books I Have Ever Read

 My favorite books that I have read... well there is just a slight problem with that, and that would be that I don't read a whole lot of books. However based on the books that I have read I would have to go with the Harry Potter series as a whole. I read each of the books, although I started with the sixth book at the time since I had seen the fist five movies. After I finished reading the book I truly realized the mistake that I had made. The books were very in depth in regards to the storyline. Granted the movies do a pretty good job but there are some that the movie doesn't do justice for. This aside I do plan to try and read the Ann Rice Vampire Series within the year as well, I figure I need to read Interview with a Vampire since I have seen it.

Places I Plan to Visit in My Lifetime

 I say places even though there is really one that I wish to visit most of all, and could go without others if I visit this one place. Japan is the one place that I wish to visit more than anywhere else. The reason being that I have always had a strong pull towards the Japanese culture since I was young, not to mention I am a fan of manga and anime. However that is far from the whole reason of why I want to go there, but it is a major factor. I have seen images of the scenery and buildings that are in Japan and they make me just love the country even more with each view. Another place that is on my list of places to visit would be Germany, I am not completely sure as to the main reasoning of why I wish to go there, but common... it's Germany, granted I would like to go and visit the remains of the Berlin Wall that is a monument to nations keeping internal peace...
