50 Creative and Inspirational Personal Portfolio Websites

July 7, 2009 by Paul Andrew Design Style Series, Inspiration, Web Inspiration

Creating your own personal portfolio website will probably be the most difficult design project you will do. We are our own worst critics, and no matter what, we could have always done something better or changed something. Have a look at these portfolio designs for some inspiration, they range from web design and developers (these, as expected, are pixel perfect), graphic designers (always colorful and bright) and photographers.
