I was born on the same date the first man went to space. I was an aspiring astronaut up until the age of 4, but because of an unfortunate accident involving a blind donkey and a motorized cabbage cultivator I became a creative developer instead.
I did time in a top-secret high-security soviet-union design facility, learned how to build a weapon out of a hard-boiled egg, escaped, but got captured again on the British Isles where I did more time in a notorious mental institution, also known as Central Saint Martins college of Art and Design.
Over the past 18 years, without getting caught, I’ve successfully managed to pass myself off as a serious designer and a web developer working with multiple respectable organizations.

Use F12 to learn their magic :) Really, you can just take these things apart from the front end and wind up learning a lot of the tricks people used to make these. Then, you can tinker with the effect, change things around & experiment, then make something new out of the building blocks. It's not as prohibitive as you might think, and it can give you general knowledge that's useful even in totally unrelated projects!
#1 got the perfect balance between creativity and simplicity, other ones were way too creative to the point you can't see the content, as it's overshadowed by the design, #5 was also good
Yes, it might be my favourite too actually. I also like #3. While it might not seem as original it does an amazing job with typography and white space.
4:30 I had seen Kurita's site before and I had the EXACT same reaction to you here lol. I too started around the same time and I'm nowhere close to that.
There should be a proper balance of creativity and functionality. Some of the designs are very creative but does not clearly showcases the works or have too much animations and lacks clarity which clients need for their users.
Thats a valid point, but you could also argue, especially given the crazy competition, that sites that seem "too creative" are good for drawing attention, making a visitor remember you and want to start a conversation.
Hello sir, all the websites on this video are insane. Can you find some anime-type websites for us? I am working on an anime-type website and want to find something unique like the one on your video mentioned.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind :) I don't recall a lot of sites using the anime style though, so you could be onto something unique there, keep going! The only thing that comes to mind so far is this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HqFcFQDmFrI.htmlsi=neomvFKSzQptRi2i&t=33 I'll reply with more if I remember or come across some.
To be honest, these are not even the craziest ones from the ones I've looked at on the channel so far 😅 HOWEVER, like I already said in the comments below, the most important thing is a good idea, which does not necessarily mean advanced execution.
I feel like you might benefit from learning UI/UX and working with design tools, if your designs don’t end up like this. It’s easier to recreate an existing design with code, than to code on a blank canvas directly.
@@Sanguine830 trueeee, but atm im still trying to master react and next js So ill definitely be picking up some skill in ui ux once im more comfortable in my skills with react xD
These sites are essentially the "demoscene" of modern web development. Even in the 80s, people spent money on games and software applications, not tech demos that have no UX whatsoever.
Oh but don’t let it discourage you. It might seem like some developers are extraordinary and you’ll never be able to catch up or compete with them, but in reality, they’re all just standing on the shoulders of giants. Very few sites are coded from scratch, nor is there really a need for that. Having a good original idea is important and is probably the only thing that you should really do yourself. The rest comes down to finding a good js library to use, copying and pasting from stack overflow, or even using AI. For instance portfolio #3 mariosmaselli.com/ uses matter.js and Portfolio #4 silviasguotti.design uses Swiper API
In the real world of web development, you'd soon learn that many of these portfolio sites have bad UX, and wouldn't have to waste time tweaking animations and other JavaScript-heavy Disney slideshows.
@@TokyoXtreme Yeah as someone who only worked on low end PCs while learning coding, I've noticed my optimization is better than average just because the bar is so low
Usually they tend to do well. I got lazy and stopped checking, but usually, with that attention to detail and a level of design, mobile is also not left behind.
