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.

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

www.designchapel.com
When Swedish designer Robert Lindström started working on his personal portfolio site, he struggled to come up with a concept that would be new and fresh. Eventually he hit upon the idea of a Design Chapel, where edgy, illustrated nuns take you on a tour of his work. In essence, design is their religion, and the site is their chapel. A muted color palette—with lots of gray, black, and red—creates a somewhat somber tone while background music adds intrigue.

Lindström is cofounder of North Kingdom, and he looks at his personal site as a way to make connections with both clients and colleagues. In the first two years of business, nearly every international job the studio retained came through Design Chapel.

“It is incredible to see how easily you can get connections from all over the world,” Lindström says. “You can sit in your home and make a portfolio one day and the next you can have a project with an agency from the other side of the Earth.”
