    I often look at other designer's and illustrator's personal sites, and more often than not, they are pretty under-par.

    Kerry Roper is a uk based graphic designer and illustrator, this is his portfolio site. The site is designed by Jeff Kim.

    This site has some seductive design considerations like interesting rollovers and cool typography. But, unsurprisingly for this kind of personal site, it lacks content and has no navigation at all.

    I think this is a classic case of me thinking 'cool website' but what I actually mean is 'cool work'. I often get these sentiments confused.

    Cool work though, so worth a look.

    retro website design

    I was talking to a friend a couple of months ago and wondering if it was time for a website to come along and be deliberately retro; using the style of Web 0.3 with the technology of Web 2.0

    He said it was still too soon. this site sort of proves it.

    But you're right: the work is cool.

    Back To 0.3

    A deliberately Web 0.3 site ... interesting idea (for our peer group only i.e. design-savvy, technology-literate, jobs in media etc etc).
