A collection of portfolio websites designed to influence my own site. The sites on this post are strictly portfolio based.
(Below) Marius Roosendaal. Proving that very simple design and great imagery is sometimes all you need.

^ Free Faces. Again a successful minimal site, this time the designer has decided to use close up imagery, forcing the viewer to click further. This works for this artist as his work has very similar design elements meaning that the overall look is well balanced.

^ Yuna Kim.
iamyuna.com This designer takes this one step further. Using shapes and symbols he not only gives the home page at unique look but the shaped picture boxes also sort the content into there different categories.
^ hovering over areas activates small changes. The shapes will turn into imagery. The index will pop the page down slightly reveling a selectable text content. The about at the time of the page will revel the otherwise hidden top of screen that contains basic contact info etc.
^ instead of new pages, most of the page will turn black displaying the new content.

beautifully simple required not artist identity, again like others allowing the work to speak for it's self.

Good site design for a logo designer. The home page features the designers best work which acts as an easy way to navigate the site aswell as showcasing the work.
