Hey guys,
I've got a few spare minutes so I wanted to ask for some advice. As some of you may know I'm studying International Game & Architecture Design. This means that in a few years when I'll graduate I'm supposed to like, work. Of course getting work is easier if you have a good resume and webpresence. A few days ago I bought a domainname that I thought was totally awesome (arrowtotheknee.nl) and started working on a design for my personal website, which I'll use to put stuff that I make online so people can look at my work and think "Hey, we want to hire this guy!". Now I've never done something like that before, so I was wondering if anybody had advice on how to make it look professional and fun at the same time. |

That link explains quite nicely why I moved on to doing much more animation and game development for clients than making websites - clients still have stupid ideas regarding the games, but they tend to be easier to shoot down in flames. There is money in web design, but it's often hard fought for.
