Wesley Tack Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Here is my site which I redesigned this year. It shows the projects I've worked on and a blog with my recent activities. http://www.wesleytack.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloglebag Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 ME is so incredibly beautiful, it must have been fantastic for the artist. Anyway impressive portfolio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 The content is great, excellent. But I'd remove half maybe even 3 quarters of the thumbnails. They make my eyeballs want to pop and I'd never look through all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Vivi Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 yes lots of great stuff here man, the only thing that pulls me away from the page is that almost all of the thumbnails for your two snow levels look the same. The mirrors edge stuff is really easy to decipher the thumbnails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tack Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 hmm valid point indeed, never really thought of it that way.. not sure how to fix it though, maybe have 1 screenshot full size where you can hit "next"? and ditch all thumbnails, if there is such a wordpress plugin.. maybe after I finished Off Limits I'll look into fixing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-freak Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 One Bigger Picture and smaller Thumbnails next to it. Like Kotaku does it but horizontal aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tack Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I updated the top section (BFBC2) with a slide show now. You think this looks better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Tack Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yea its nice. But the controls don't show up as they should for me. (on a mac with chrome) Can you take a screenshot of it so I can see whats going on? I tested it only on IE8 and firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge mat Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 looks like the text is getting cut for some reason. It works fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tack Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Could you refresh? the text should be gone now Sarge, can you confirm this? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tack Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Well after many debates about what looks better with some people I changed it back to thumbnails. I myself found the thumbnails better as well. As pointed out above the main thing that looked weird was the repetition of the BFBC2 shots, this was mainly because of the weapon in the low right corner (BFBC2 didn't have an option to hide hud and weapon). So I just did the thumbs for those just manually now and took points of interest as the thumbnail. So the repetition is less now. I do have another question we debated about, as the Blog is being updated a lot more than the Projects page, what do you think should be the main page of the site? Projects or Blog?

syver Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Projects. I don't see why any employer would be interested in what the blog says, at least not until they've seen the projects page. Besides, you would want to show them that projects page right away considering the quality content you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nysuatro Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 yeah projects. Blog is secundary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Tack Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Updated my projects page last weekend with final shots of all 3 Off Limits levels I did. Also did updates on my blog where I added a lot of work in progress shots and text over the years of working on Off Limits. I also created a FlickrPro account so I could have the full sized images shown on it from now on without resizing them.
