Taking the net to another dimensionWeve been trawling the web looking for the most interesting and well-designed portfolios - of designers, photographers, artists, illustrators, and motion graphic pros - to profile the creators working behind the scenes. The focus is not so much the work presented, but the way the portfolios are designed. Presentation, elegance, and style are key, and the individuals and studios featured in this guide represent the best the web has to offer. Entries include screenshots, designers contacts, tools and content used (HTML, Flash, XML, music, video, etc.), awards received, and cost in hours per website for creation and maintenance. With designers hailing from 33 countries, from the United States to Croatia to Japan, this selection of portfolios demonstrates how todays best designers are pushing the limits and experimenting with innovative ways of navigation outside of corporate contexts.The editor: Julius Wiedemann was born and raised in Brazil.
