Showcase of Inspiring “About Me” Pages

Showcase of Inspiring “About Me” Pages

on Jun 29th 2011 with 33 comments

A creative about me page will attract a reader’s attention, and, more importantly, provide them with a quick sampling of what you or your company represents. Are you playful, stylish, corporate? All of this should be conveyed to your web site’s visitors.

I have collected some of the best creative and unique “about me” pages available.

    OK, thanks – good list. Not really a tutorial though!

      dude, Nettuts is not all about tutorials.. Most of it are.. But a post like this one helps a lot in sharing information among designers and developers alike.. You can also learn technical stuff by reading this kind of posts..

    Not really the purpose of this website, but it’s a good read.

    You seem to have Grandpeople and StruckAxiom backwards.

    StruckAxiom and Grandpeople are switched ;)… and indeed, it’s not really a tutorial so wouldn’t it be better if this would be put on webdesign.tutsplus or something?

    I don’t see why this is such a bad idea. Perhaps it is a tutorial telling you what NOT to do inorder to “stand out”. Rightfully so, too.

    Guys, it’s not supposed to be a tutorial. I agree that it might perhaps be better suited for webdesign.tutsplus, but look on in the earlier pages of nettuts – there’s plenty of older design-based articles/tuts here.

    Again, though – NOT a tutorial. Says right at the top: “Web Roundup”. =]

      I agree. Not every article has to be a tutorial. We need some inspiration from time to time and catch up with the new trends of web design. Great post! Thanks for collecting this.

    I guess it’s all opinion, however “Grip Limited” didn’t even make it to a “okay” spot on my list. It’s horribly ugly, not even decent!

    This is quiet an interesting article, it is quite Inspirational, Its articles like this one that help us as developers and designers define beauty. Blaine, however true that may be, at least it helps realize and set the difference in terms of standards and expectation

    Some lovely, lovely work showcased there and while I agree that it’s not explicitly a tutorial it’s definitely a truism that the best way to learn is to mix it up. Sometimes you need to slavishly follow a tut, sometimes you need to let fly and go crazy on the Wacom, sometimes you need to sit cross-legged in silence by the side of the ocean and sometimes you just need to soak in the work that others are doing. All part of the rich tapestry…

    Anyone else notice that Google Galaxy ripoff?

    There was another site that did that exact same thing (spaceship starting from bottom – localscrolls up for each section) except it’s graphics weren’t as detailed… Anyone know what I’m talking about?

    Not inspiring at all. “About” pages have been around since the 90′s, and I have seen far better than these. These seem like a bunch of crappy marketing.

    the tutorial is not only “how to make …”
    i think the inspiration above can be good trigger to make something better… :)

    No, it isn’t a tutorial, but I’m betting this isn’t the only blog to write topics outside the scope of the purpose of the website. It’s a good post, and great to read an article stepping away from tutorials for a change of scenery.
