Looking into Online Graphic Portoflios/Showcases

I have researched into some Typographic and Illustrative online Graphic Design existing portfolio websites as these are the areas which interest me the most. I have screenshot a few websites which stood out to me:

I really like this website design because of its very handmade illustrative look. I love all the range of typography which has been used. I love the colours which have been used as I think that they work well together. 

This is a illustrative showcase website and this is obvious by the large illustration on the homepage which you are confronted with the moment you load the page. I like the use of colour and monotone and the layout.

This is an illustration showcase website, the images and logo stand out against the black background. 

Flash

Today we learnt about using Flash and with it how to make a button which can be used for a webpage.

The first thing I did was open Flash, using the circle shape I created a base for the button. I converted it to a symbol. I worked in layers of colours and experimented with text. Then viewed it as a working button.

                       

                    

This print screen shows the converting of the shape to a working button.

This shows the different layers of the button.
