I used to do Flash development at work but I've personally reached the point where I can't stand it any longer. Too many designers try to do too much with. It's become a barrier between the user and the work. James I agree about the Flash sites.

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.

In the end it's all about the work but isn't the designers website an extension of his or hers work? Daniel, you do make a good point.

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. Hi

I see it all the time and it's rather annoying. There is no reason why any designer should have a PDF portfolio instead of an actual portfolio site. Especially with <a href="http://www.indexhibit.org/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Indexhibit</strong></a> around. I’m not sure what the deal is with PDF portfolio’s.

Her two examples here are excellent. But I def. skip the PDF portfolios. what’s up with designers having such bad websites (if holding a pdf is called a site).Mmm, not very courteous.
