Designer/Illustrator:  Andy Quick

As you know my job is portfolios. I eat and sleep design portfolios all day, every day. Sounds boring? Not in the least. I love seeing new portfolios and exploring a new designer's creativity. But there is a catch - I have an ulterior motive.

I look for things that are effective portfolio design. Effective from a usability and marketing perspective. I mean at the end of the day isn't it all about getting new clients? My routine is that when new designers sign up on Styleapple I do a quick once over of their portfolio on the site as well as their external portfolio. Make a decision fairly quickly whether or not I'm a fan.

I am by no means absolute judge and jury when it comes to portfolio design but I'm no different than the next guy. Some I'll like and some I won't.  So let's get to it. Andy Quick is an illustrator from the UK. I like the way his portfolio summarizes.

Thumbnails with description... cool. Thumbnail opens up seamlessly into a larger image of the project... very cool. All projects place on one page for easy scrolling and quick viewing... sexy. Quick previews of the projects cycling through on top.... very sexy. Great job Andy and welcome to Styleapple.

As far as my blog title goes... after finishing my post I realized that maybe what I do is not that random and maybe I wasn't looking for something else. But hated to get rid of it... so there I said it. Oh I also wanted to piss off the SEO voice in my head who kept telling me that the title was way too long... Sometimes you just gotta live a little :)

Some time later, she decided to room and board at Real AIR JORDAN 1,Real AIR JORDAN 2,Real AIR JORDAN 3 my place. We were a room apart, and often held lively discussions Real AIR JORDAN 4,Real AIR JORDAN 5,Real AIR JORDAN 6 after dinner. Sometimes I jumped onto her bed and we watched Friends together. Sometimes she dropped by Real AIR JORDAN 7,Real AIR JORDAN 8,Real AIR JORDAN 9,Real AIR JORDAN 10 to see how I was doing with my assignments. One night, I was awakened by Real AIR JORDAN 11,Real AIR JORDAN 12,Real AIR JORDAN 13 a shrill cry and there she was, at my door, looking ghastly Real AIR JORDAN 14,Real AIR JORDAN 16,Real AIR JORDAN 17,Real AIR JORDAN 21 she had a nightmare and was seeking protection. She asked me to check Real AIR JORDAN 22,Real AIR JORDAN spike,Real Nike air Jordan 12 air fore 1whether there was a snake in her bed. There was not. By that time she had calmed down and begun Real AIR JORDAN 23,Real Nike air Jordan 5 air force 1,Real AIR JORDAN 23 mix with air fore 1 to apologize. I said: you wouldn’t apologize to a family member, Real Air fore mix with jordan III,Real AIR JORDAN 18,Real AIR JORDAN 9.5,Real size 14 and 15 jordan shoes would you? – A familCome the following semester, we were taking Real AIR JORDAN 15,Real Air fore 1 air jordan 1,Real Air fore 1 air jordan 7,Real AIR JORDAN 6 rings four courses together and became study partners. She helped me with Math and I helped her Real AIR JORDAN 13 + air jordan 23,Real Air fore 1 air jordan 8,Real AIR JORDAN 19 with programming. When we pulled an all nighter, we took turns napping. Late nights were customary in Real Air force 1 air jordan 3,Real Air fore 1 air jordan 9,Real Air fore 1 jordan 20 those days, and there was a time that was particularly stressful for us. One night, while studying for Real Air fore 1 air jordan 6,Real Air fore 1 jordan 9+air jordan 23,Real AIR JORDAN 7.5 a midterm, a fever overcame me. That night, she took care of me. She borrowed medication from a Real air fore1 air jordan 11,Real Air force 1 air jordan 2.5,Real AIR JORDAN 10.5,Real Jordan true flight neighbor and wringed a cold towel to calm the fever. The next morning, she prepared us breakfast, and we went to write Real air force 1 air jordan 25,Real Jordan 2 5 Team,Real AIR JORDAN 1.5,Real AIR JORDAN 3+Air jordan 5 the midterm. We then had another midterm, and then there Real AIR JORDAN 25,Real AIR JORDAN 11+Air jordan 12,Real Nike Air force 1 air jordan 23+air jordan 24,Real Jordan 6 Rings Air were the assignments. During that stretch of time, she held me up. y member, Real AIR JORDAN Fusion 4,<a href="http://www.fadeaway23.com/Air-Jordan/Air-Jordan-6-Rings&AF1">Real AIR JORDAN 6 Rings&amp;AF1,Real AIR JORDAN Fusion 13 that is what you have become.Around that time, we ended up in graduate school one after another. Early in Real Nike air Jordan Flight 45,Real Air Flight Condor Basketball Shoes,Real aj11+nike sharkley my graduate studies, there was a time when I was confronted with issues that were Real Air force 1 Air jordan 14,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 22,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 17.5,Real Jordan 60+Jordan 1257 becoming overwhelming, and I contemplated giving up. She told me of her life story Real AIR JORDAN Flight 45+Jordan 12,Real Jordan Trunner Q4,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 3.5,Real Jordan Q4 + Jordan 16.5 in graduate school, and those of others, and helped me realize that many students Real Jordan OL School 3+ Air Force 1,Real Nike air Jordan Flight 45+Air Force 1,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 10,Real AIR JORDAN Retro go through tough times in the graduate system, some with experiences far more difficult. She also told me that she Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 2,Real AIR JORDAN 20+Air Jordan 10.5,Real Jordan b%27loyal,Real AIR JORDAN 16.5 had faith in God, and believed that life is fair. She said, hard work will reap Real AIR JORDAN 3.5,Real AIR JORDAN 6 Rings+Air Jordan 13,Real AIR JORDAN True Flight+Air Jordan 7.5,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 4.5 its rewards, and renewed me with energy to overcome the toughest period in my Real AIR JORDAN 24,Real Air Force 1+Air Jordan 6.5,Real Jordan Pro Classic,Real AIR JORDAN 3+Air Jordan 9 graduate career.When I was sick, she cared for me. When I was hungry, Real Air Yeezy + Air Jordan 6,Real AIR JORDAN 25+Air Jordan 6,Real AIR JORDAN Casual Shoes,Real AIR JORDAN 22+Air Jordan 8 she cooked for me. When I was down, she spoke with patient encouragement. In more ways than one, Real AIR JORDAN Motor Shoes,Real AIR JORDAN 2010 Shoes,Real AIR JORDAN 28 she had been my guardian angel, and over the years, I learned from her many simple gestures to care Real AIR JORDAN Fusion 5,Real AIR JORDAN 12+Air Jordan 13,Real AIR JORDAN CP3+Air Jordan 8,Real AIR JORDAN 25+Air Jordan 13 for friends in need – sometimes it meant doing their dishes, sometimes a back Real 2010 Jordan NIKE Portfolio,Real AIR JORDAN 21.5+Air Jordan 13,Real Air jordan message, and sometimes, just by being there and talking. She has Authentic Air Jordan 1,Authentic Air Jordan 2,Authentic Air Jordan 3 given me much and influenced me much.
