STEP INSIDE
As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

Best of web 2005: PERSONAL PORTFOLIOS (cont'd)

www.imagefed.com
Designer and illustrator Matthew Curry named his personal portfolio site Imagefed after what he does: “All my life I’ve been obsessed with visual stuff.” It’s a statement that’s easily backed up by the diverse body of work on his site. A few clicks reveal everything from editorial illustrations and identity pieces to personal artwork. Curry has a full-time position as an interactive designer and takes on freelance projects that pique his interest, mostly illustrations and pieces for art shows.

While his work is very bold, Curry’s site design is intentionally toned down. The samples speak for themselves against neutral backgrounds coupled with simple text navigation. There’s no extraneous Flash, and Curry created templates that make the site easy to update. He originally put up Imagefed as a way to differentiate himself from other designers and create a portfolio that’s easy to share. Today the site is still a great self-promotional tool, and the rotating home page photo even gives a glimpse into Curry’s personal life, featuring everything from his turntables to his dog.
