A selection of some of my favourite portfolio website examples. Showcasing a broad range of portfolio website styles for inspiration and reference.
Bruno Simon
A very impressive, different, and fun portfolio website by Bruno Simon, created using three.js for the 3D and cannon.js for the physics. (My students really enjoyed finding the hidden Easter-eggs).
Jonathan Yuen
This portfolio website is quite old now but it is still an example of a great portfolio website that is atmospheric and interactive with a unique style. – It is a Flash website though, so it may be tricky to view these days depending on your browser. At the time of writing I was able to run it smoothly in Firefox.
Open Jonathan Yuen – Flash website.
Marta Cerda
I like to show this website to my students as a great example of a masonry layout. Marta’s design work is also brilliant. I really like the way this website overviews her work on the home page with short descriptions of the projects.
Acko – Steven Wittens
I really like the unique interface and intro animation on Steven Witten’s Acko site. I think it is a good example of a blend between 3D (using three.js) and your more traditional, easy to navigate website structure.
Song Kang
As far as artists’ websites go I think this site is one of the most elegant I have come across.
Neave Interactive
I have been a big fan of Paul Neave’s work for years. A nice clean portfolio website with some cool subtle effects.
Blu Blu
*Update: Unfortunately this site has been updated, however the original site for Blu Blu featured a fantastic book concept, – a somewhat clunky but refreshing take on a portfolio website. You should be able to find it on the Internet Archive prior to 2020.
Resn
Atmospheric, interactive and unique. (Also using three.js)
SFCD
A nice modern site with a clean layout and subtle parallax and animation effects.
Martin Sati
I really like this site as a great example of the use of images. You really get a feel of stepping into the world of Martin Sati’s amazing work.
Bruno Quintela
Another relatively different website that showcases the 3D art really well. The 3D view is awesome if you happen to have a pair of the old school 3D glasses handy.
If you would like to stay in the loop when I publish new content your best bet is to join my mailing list, as I don't tend to post my tutorials and articles to social media. Otherwise you can always follow my work on Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Artstation, LinkedIn, and Behance.
