What Portfolio Designs Would We Continue to See in 2010?
Spread it!
There are a lot of web design trends were published somewhere over web design community to help us predict what is next in 2010 about web design. Each trend has especial idea, each trend tells us something interesting about web design in the past and help us continue to go forward to future. This one is not a trend. It’s just a small preview that works on the new, fresh, and never-seen-before portfolios some web designers prepare for their portfolio in 2010.
The idea of this post comes out from the researches around the biggest art community website DeviantArt where web designers like to post their art-works to. Although, the number of new pre-designs for 2010 is not much, it shows us something will change or not in the next year.
Beautiful background portfolio will continue
The only one page portfolios with awesome and beautiful background are really attractive to visitors or your customers. This kind of portfolio known as the full page backgrounds. It usually takes long time to complete the work. The most time your spend for it would be in drawing programs suchs as: Photoshop, Corel, Illustrator… The advantage is it shows customers your skill clearly. Who doesn’t want a beautiful design? The more beautiful and attractive by your art, the more impression on the clients. However, the disadvantage is it’s hard to find a space to show up your works. In 2010, this kind of portfolio still continue by some talent designers with great drawing skill.
Portfolio with creative design
The huge images like these would have taken forever to load just 5-6 years ago and would not have been piratical. Thanks technology that today, the internet speed has changed, the minimum speed people is using is 512kbs/s now and they can load any web page with any size (not too much !!!). People love to put their awesome art-works with creative ideas and a lot of nice and beautiful icons on their design. These image and creative arts will invite people in. This kind of portfolio will stay for further works in 2010.
Minimalist and clean portfolio design will get changes
The year 2009 was a golden-age of clean design because it doesn’t require to much drawing skills or techniques. It was designed base on the simplification of needs. Most of them shows the small number of colors in used, long long text in typography, but this kind of design highlights the services and social activities on your portfolio. In the next year, hope see more alternative minimalist and clean portfolio design with some different backgrounds, colors and typography.
What’s a perfect portfolio?
In an individual opinion, there is no perfect portfolio, but still have the best one that provides clients the most completed and interesting information. Some web design companies give to the visitors the fully content of their works, prices, life streams… the good one should talk more and put their services – what you do best – in the front of visitors. The modern style portfolio will stay alive with corporation model in the next year.
Colorful portfolio design
In 2009, besides the minimalist and clean design, people still step forward to 2010 with colorful style. You can realize that there are a lot of designers are following webdesignerdepot style in their design. The advantage of this style is it show clearly a great job of incorporating color and creating an attractive appearance. However, design a colorful web page is not easy as we can see. The strongest problem is blending a lot of colors in one design. If you don’t have the ideas or at least the aesthetic eyes, your design will be terrible. Anyway, people are doing well and still continue in 2010.

These are some beautiful portfolio designs, really nice list! I ran into your article on DZone and gave it a vote up, I hope to see more great content in the future here.
Thank you! Off course I will
I love colourful design trends. I agree there is a great risk element involved in colourful portfolios, because it is difficult to get several colours to harmonize well. But to me, it’s a risk worth taking, to be “different” in a highly competitive industry. Great article Lam. Loving the work you have here.
Thanks Josh!
I love colorful design, too but it’s still “expensive” for me
The colorful design trends definitely attract my attention. All these designs look great, I especially like that one design where they have the Iceberg site in the Latest Work section, looks like a good one. Some good inspiration for me, which is what I’m all about.
very inspiraring compilation. 2010 i gonna be the start of another design change especially with CSS3.
thanks very inspirational collection…..
An inspiring collection of sites. It will be interesting to see design trends progress in 2010. I’m hoping for more in the way of colour too!
Our portfolio is a little like the CP one – I’ve made my name a link…
We’re .net developers by trade, and it’s amazing how important jQuery has become… and now it’s going to be included in ASP.net 4.0 we’ll be doing lots more of it
Really it was cool going through the stuff and I am sure its definitely going to help me as I am looking for relevant stuff that I can use for my reference purpose, thank you.
Nice Article Lam.
I think there will always be room in any yearly trend for simplistic design portfolios. The real asset these stripped back designs have is the POF is on the work not the actual site. They’re flexible, they’re classic and IMO sidestep any move in trend.
Thanks for your comment, guys!
@Frog: Thank you! And I believe so.
I hope to see more of the creative designs, though they are very costly. It’s quite awesome to see what some people can do, but as a web designer you would have to know Photoshop, Illustrator and also get a unique idea.
Nice article. I think the more beautiful and creative, the better!
Nice article Lam, thanks for sharing.
bravo good post Lam
awesome…..applause
Hi Lam,

I made the design, so now i’m working to release it.
What are the changes you think might improve the site?
Relay good post!
Hi Jonatan,
Your design, it’s great, and that’s why I put it on the perfect one. Everything on your design I would like to say, that’s the best!
Really thanks for your feedback!
