Portfolio Website

I have chosen to design and produce my portfolio website on Tumblr.  I am not familiar with Tumblr in anyway at all.  I had a previous account with Tumblr but I never pursued it making it social.  The reasons why I chose Tumblr and not something else is because I wanted to be assisted when making my website and not just building it from scratch.  There are reasons for this.  I am not the greatest at all with web code and doing this by myself with the CSS & HTML I don't know what could of happened.  I also chose Tumblr because I felt I could have a crack at looking at the code within the Tumblr settings where you can actually write your own code.  

When I first started designing my website I was just playing around with different layouts, themes colours to get to grips with how Tumblr works.  

Although its part of the criteria to submit a portfolio online I feel its really important I did this anyway.  I am approaching the end of the second year and I would of liked to produce something promoting myself as well as the business cards I've designed.  I will continue to update my portfolio website as I create new designs/ complete new projects.  These could be assignment briefs or just personal projects of my own.

Below here are some screenshots of my website;

Above here is a small preview of my website on Tumblr.

Here isa the top of my web page.  The header image is a blown up version of one of my personal projects of a strawberry.  It adds colour to my page instead of a block colour or gradient.  

What I knew I wanted before I started designing this was a continuous scrolling page.  Reasons for this is because of the successes of my website I created last year for one of my projects.  I had a continuous scroll until there was no information left.  I feel this is one of the best ways to browse information.

Below here is how my website looks on a smartphone.  It is fully responsive and works pretty well.  From looking at this image there is a lot of colour within my page and I believe this is eye catching and exciting.  I chose green as the background colour purely because It matches red and blue.  They are also primary colours.  I changed my avatar shape to a square and added a photo of myself.  I am very pleased with the appearance of my page and I feel my business card and website complement each other.
