Hello HN. I am trying to put together an about.me page so i can take advantage of its numerous benefits and ease. However I have no design skills or knowledge and therefore don't really no how to make it look good. Any advice or suggestions on colors, fonts, layout, etc. from people who have used about.me would be amazing.<p>here is the link to my page for reference: http://about.me/adamorshan
If you're going to make your webpage a photo of yourself, make sure it's a good photo. Neither the red-eye nor the dusky kitchenette with vertical blinds are really helping you out.<p>Those 37 signals pages that everyone raves about or really any other website that uses full-bleed photography use <i>really good photography.</i><p>The photo doesn't have to be of you, but if it is, i'd seriously consider having a friend take a photo of you during golden hour (or at least during the day) with a sharp lens. Expect to do a bit of touching up anyway and make sure everything feels decadent.<p>If you've got a good photo, it's pretty hard to muck it up with type. Case in point: look at almost all album art (or fashion magazines) for proof of this.
