Nice work by designer Matilda Saxow. No real website, just a downloadable PDF of her work. I hate when designers do that.
According to Ellen, Matlida has designed the latest issue of Grafik Magazine.

The site was quite disappointing. She could have at least made the page look more inviting. After all she is a designer right? The work is nice though
what’s up with designers having such bad websites (if holding a pdf is called a site).Mmm, not very courteous. Her two examples here are excellent. But I def. skip the PDF portfolios.
gray backgrounds….the new white background?
Hi
I was just reading this post, my opinion is that its always about the work, and her work is amazing.
Id rather see work like this, laid out in a PDF than some of the stuff I see floating around the web that is poorly designed and crudely laid out. Its just my personal opinion though.
the comment about having a portfolio has more than one approach:
ONE: presentation TWO:content.
She has been showcased here for her superb work (content), but the format of her work is what is being discussed as an issue for some.
I think a PDF portfolio is as good as a website. At least it’s functional. Better than an ultra self-indulgent, annoying flash site with too many bells and whistles.
Her type work is beautifully crafted. If I had any criticism then it would be that her portfolio is a little limited. Would be nice to see how she creatively deals with work where you can’t pick the typeface yourself.
