"About me" pages have the ability to engage and inform your site visitors in a personal and friendly way. For web professionals, our "About me" page can be critical in establishing a true connection with potential clients, and it can set us apart from a sea of other designers and developers.

For different types of websites, keep in mind that the About page could be structured differently. For example, an About page for a blog or news site can be vastly different when compared to the same page for a portfolio website.

In this collection, I’ve rounded up 30 excellent "About me" pages from the web portfolios of amazing designers, artists, illustrators, and developers. Enjoy!

Toby Powell

An interesting use of a cutout/silhouette sets this designer’s About page out from the crowd. A halftone self-portrait and a concise biography of the site owner rounds out this web page’s design.

Guomundur

Most designers use a professional headshot photo of themselves on their About pages, but this designer from Sweden presents an interesting and unique perspective with his overhead shot. Bold typography draws you in to create added visual interest.

Guomundur

Dan Joe Design

The designer used a grid layout in the layout of his About page. Contemporary colors inform you of the designer’s style, while a status message of his availability to take on new projects makes it clear to prospective clients whether he’s available or not.

Dan Joe Design

Tim Van Damme

A unique and effective way of organizing your personal information on the web is to create an online business card (vCard). In doing so, we learn who the designer is, other places to connect with him, and how to get in touch with him.

Tim Van Damme

James A. Reeves

The About page for James A. Reeves is simple and modular, allowing for the large-scale photography in the background.

James A. Reeves

Janis

The artistic design of Janis’s website is very captivating. It gives you a glimpse into the designer’s personal aesthetic style, while supplying the information you need to hire him for your next project. The use of large photography can leave a lasting impression on the visitor if done effectively, as shown in this About page.

Janis

Dan

Here’s another example where the designer used a self-portrait in a unique and engaging way. Including a large self-portrait on your site gives a potential client a real person to relate with.

Dan

Jared Christensen

Jared Christensen used a humorous, catchy self-portrait on his About page to not only allude to his sense of humor, but also allow the client to see his creative side a little more personally.

Jared Christensen

Jason Reed

Jason Reed uses a nice illustration of himself in his About page. The use of an illustration is another way to grab the visitor’s attention and add a more character to your About page.

Jason Reed

Soh Tanaka

This designer organized his credentials in an easily digestible format. Large photography offsets the information and gives you an idea of the site owner’s style and influences.

Soh Tanaka

Emerge and Bloom

On this website for a design studio, information is organized efficiently, both giving you an idea of their services while presenting attributes of the designers behind the company.

Emerge and Bloom

KitFolio

Here’s another striking About page. As you can see, the design is simple, but fun and illustrative.

KitFolio

Alex Dawson

Alexander Dawson (a Six Revisions writer) presents his About page in a very efficient, functional manner. From looking at his credentials, you get a quick overview of who he is, what he does, and the services he excels in. It’s really all you can ask for from an "About me" page, right?

Alex Dawson

Adam Dannaway

Through the use of a grid layout, Adam Dannaway achieves a simple, straightforward About page that also gives you an idea of his skills, illustrated as graphs.

Adam Dannaway

egopop

The About page for egopop presents a large-scale photo of the designer as well as a simple biographical statement about himself and his history as it relates to his profession.

egopop

Monkeyworks

Monkeyworks uses a clean, structured layout on their About page. Not only are the illustrations captivating, but the typography stands out and the graphics used add a nice touch.

Monkeyworks

Darren Hoyt

Great use of typography is what stands out in this "About me" page. Not only does the type make the page easy to read, the grid layout increases readability as well.

Darren Hoyt

Mark McGall

The designer took their About page to the next level by superimposing their face on Mount Rushmore. Tastefully done, this tactic adds a unique and memorable visual to an otherwise straightforward page.

Mark McGall

Mr. Joe Payton

The About page of Joe Payton presents a short bio about him in a beautifully laid out format. The designer also presents information for following him on various social networking sites.

Mr. Joe Payton

Elliot Jay Stocks

The About page of Elliot Jay Stocks is laid out rather simply, but the typography is carefully thought-out and makes you want to explore this designer’s work further. The designer, who is also a speaker and author, presents you with links to pertinent information related to his professional activities.

Elliot Jay Stocks

Kitschen Sink

The compelling website for Kitschen Sink made me want to explore the About page. I found out that they’re a jewelry and accessories shop and I learned the history behind the company. Although it’s laid out very simply, captivating branding led me to the About page through curiosity.

Kitschen Sink

Matt Mullenweg

Matt Mullenweg sets the backdrop for his About page on a highly textured background. These visual layers compelled me to read more about the founder of WordPress.

Matt Mullenweg

Who is Leon

This beautiful About page features animations and depth to draw the visitor in. Clear typography and a monochromatic color scheme set this About page apart.

Who is Leon

Amore Chaleur

This designer’s About page is really simple and straightforward. It includes a short bio, links to relevant info, and her library. It’s always the neatly designed pages that attract me the most.

Lord Likely

This compelling About page’s character is what draws the visitor in. Inspired by Victorian-era design, the designer implemented old-world style in creating a unique and professional page that serves as an introduction to himself.

Lord Likely

Dustin Curtis

This unique About page presents a timeline of the site owner’s life — from birth to his projected death.

Dustin Curtis

Ian Mintz

The beautiful watercolor illustrations grabbed my attention on this website. As you can see, his About page is laid out very simply and elegantly. We get a sense of his design influences, on top of his skills and education, through this clean and straightforward approach.

Monsieurlam

Large-scale photography is what sets this "About me" page apart. The page is laid out in a clear format, providing information about the designer and where he can be found.

Monsieurlam

Floating Asian Kid

The interaction on this website intrigued me enough to explore its About page. You can see from his short biography what the designer specializes in and how to reach him.

1. Georgia & Verdana


웹사이트의 표준을 고집하는 사람이라면 이 조합이 좋다.
아름다운 셰리프, 조지아와 스크린용으로 만들어진 산셰리프,
버다나를 함께 이용하면 절대 실패할 리 없다.

2. Helvetica(Bold) & Garamond


눈이 즐거운 클래식한 조합이다. 헬베티카 볼드체로 된
커다란 머릿말을 좋아하지 않는 사람은 없을 것이다.
깔끔하고 중립적인 성격의 헬베티카는 셰리프 중 가장
읽기 편한 가라몬드와 완벽한 궁합을 자랑한다.

3. Bodoni & Futura

보도니는 기하학적인 형태와 굵고 짧은 선의 어울림
때문에 진정 아름다운 서체이다. 이런 보도니는
푸트라와 멋들어지게 어울리는데 많은 패션
매거진에서도 이 두 서체를 이용하고 있다.

4. Franklin Gothic(Demi) & Baskerville

1757년 만들어진 클래식한 디자인의 베스커빌은
19세기 산셰리프 서체인 프랭클린 고딕과 극명한
대비를 이루면서 독자들의 디자인에 세련됨을
불어넣을 수 있다. 헤드라인으로 주의를 끌고 싶다면
프랭클린 고딕을 굵은 글씨로 이용하면 된다.

5. Caslon(Bold) & Univers(Light)

케슬론은 단단한 느낌의 셰리프체로 위아래로
튀어나온 부분이 짧은 것이 특징이다. 이런 케슬론은
다소 중립적인 느낌의 네오 그로테스크 양식
산셰리프체인 유니버스와 절묘하게 어울린다.
유니버스를 굵은 글씨로 쓰면 디스플레이용 서체로도
활용할 수 있다.

6. Frutiger(Bold) & Minion

원래 공항 표지판에 이용하려고 개발된 프루티거는
아주 읽기 편하기 때문에 헤드라인 서체로 적당하다.
유기적이고 깔끔한 성격의 산셰리프체인 프루티거는
르네상스 말기 클래식한 서체를 본따 만든 미니언과
잘 어울린다. 미니언도 역시 읽기 편한 특징을 가지고 있다.

7. Minion(Bold) & Myriad

미니언 프로 서체Minion Pro family는 모든
디자이너들에게 빼놓을 수 없는 무기다. 대문자 크기가
작고 전통적인 형태에 글리픽glyphic 스타일을 갖춘
미니언 프로는 다양한 용도로 이용될 수 있다. 활용도가
높은 미리어드체와 함께 쓰면 효과가 두 배인데 둘은
어도비의 공식 글꼴이기도 하다.

8. Gill Sans(Bold) & Garamond

이 두 서체는 대부분 운영 체계의 기본 글꼴로 설정돼
있는데 기본적인 소프트웨어에 잘 어울리기 때문이다.
길 산스는 어떤 서체와도 잘 어울리기 때문에 활용도가
매우 높다. 런던 지하철에서 이용될 목적으로 개발된 길
산스는 읽기도 쉬운데 가라몬드 같은 클래식한 서체와
함께 쓰면 더 극적인 효과를 거둘 수 있다.

9. Clarendon & Trade Gothic

슬라브 세리프 서체인 클래런던은 큰 사이즈로 쓰면
관심을 끌기 좋고, 작은 사이즈로 쓰면 읽기가 편하다.
깔끔하고 객관적이고 유행을 타지 않는 서체라 할 수 있다.
이런 글래런던은 자연스러운 느낌의 트레이드 고딕과
특히 잘 어울린다. 트레이드 고딕을 헤드라인 서체로
쓴다면 글씨를 두껍게 만드는 걸 잊지 말아야 한다.

10. Avenir & Minion

아브니르는 푸트라Futufa의 특징을 이어받았지만
완전히 기하학적인 형태는 아니다.(아브니르는
푸트라와 어원이 같은 future, 즉 미래를 의미하는
프랑스말이다.) 세로선이 가로선보다 더 두꺼운
편이고 올라오는 부분이 짧은 것이 특징이다.
이 때문에 아브니르는 헤드라인과 내용을 나타내는
글에 모두 잘 어울리고, 미니언 같은 오래된 스타일의
산셰리프체와도 훌륭한 조화를 이룬다.

5 Logo Design Presentation Methods to Impress your Clients

 

Presentation takes a big part in getting approval from your client. If your client has already liked your design, a little extra effort in presenting the design will help the client make his/her decision. The key here is to help the client to see your design applied on the chosen medias, as if they were already printed out. For an example, a picture of a business card held by our hand looks more appealing than a picture of the flat business card by itself. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to present your logo design in 5 different ways.

Here’s the example logo was used for this tutorial:

1.Holding Business Card

Take a picture of your hand holding a card with your logo design on it. You can always use the same picture for other logos in the future.

Place your logo into the card in Photoshop.

Ctrl+T to distort and skew the logo to fit the perspective of the card and scale the logo into the right size.

2.Contrast Background

Clients need to see that the logo would work on dark background as good as on white background. For dark background, make a 100% black background in Photoshop and copy the logo into another layer.

Use 95% black for the highlight color in radial gradient, set the somewhere near the logo icon as the center.

Use 15% black for the shadow gradient in the logo.

Make a new layer on top of the logo layer. With the elliptical tool, make an ellipse on the logo, where you want the shadow to be. Use the gradient of 50% black from top.

Press Ctrl and click on the logo layer thumbnail to select the logo. Ctrl+Shift+I to select reverse. Click on the shadow layer and press Del or backspace button to delete the area outside of the logo.

Last Step is to make shadow under the logo by right-clicking the logo, choose Blending Options on the menu, Drop Shadow, adjust the distance of the shadow to 2 or 3 px, depends on your size of the file and your preference.

3.Wood Texture Background

Choose a wood texture background you like, smooth texture works better for logo bevel and emboss.

Copy the logo to another layer and fill it with brown color picked from the background.

Multiply the logo layer on top of the wood texture layer. The color will look darker like below. Right-click on the logo layer and choose Blending Options, Inner Shadow. You might wonder why I don’t use Bevel and Emboss option there, you can always try it and compare the results. Personally I prefer a manual Bevel and Embossing because the light and shadow would look more real.

Duplicate the logo layer into two different layers. Black on top of white logo layer, move the black logo slightly right and down.

Hold Ctrl and click on the black logo to select its outline. Then click on the white logo layer and delete the selected area, leaving only the white edges. Now choose the layer effect overlay, adjust the position until the lighting looks right.

4.On the Office Building (Sign)

Get a picture of the company building which logo you’re designing. Open it in photoshop, copy the logo into a new layer.

Apply 30% black of gradient to the logo. Add Drop Shadow. And here it goes.

5.Product Background

Choose a picture of the product and set as a background. Apply subtle Outer Glow on the logo to make it stand out from the background.

Conclusion

Presenting your logo designs to clients on signage, a business card or even a piece of wood will: 1) show how well it works in ‘the real world’ and 2) make the logo more appealing to your client. Remember, presentation is critical when pitching on freelance logo jobs and logo design contests – it will help you win more work!
