You know, I’ve started trying to get a job now after University is finished and at the same time I’ve been looking at other designer’s portfolio and showcase. Some of them are really amazing, but I noticed a flaw in the system.

How can employers judge weather to hire you because you have a “nice looking” portfolio or to hire someone else who has an “average” looking portfolio but the someone else has much better knowledge and builds much better standards and accessible website?

This thought came to me as I was looking at some web designer’s portfolio in comparison to web developer’s portfolio. Where one has better graphics talent than the other but the other has better knowledge in accessibility and to my surprise there are many web designers who still chooses to build pages that does not pass standards validation tests but the graphics talent makes their personal site so much more pleasing and amazing that I would assume make anyone forget about standards . You know what I’m saying?

Well, it’s just as well I have confidence in my design as well as programming. Oh, I just submitted a new deviation to deviantart , I’ve also been checking my profile and it seems I’m building up quite a lot of interest from people, 3 submissions and plenty of page views. Well I guess I’m trying to push in this far-eastern post-modernist style into my art which isn’t something you see everyday.
