in search of some company or individual who is willing to give a poor high school graduate with a hobby the chance to expand her portfolio. Until I get a couple of those chances, my portfolio consists of blank templates and half empty sites made for friends who forgot to update. Click on the thumbnail of a site to be taken to the actual page. Most recent websites come last for the time being. And now, without further ado... Tejou's Portfolio! I named my first ever completed site Jicchi, which is Japanese for practice. For a long time I was using Jicchi to practice different designs and ideas, until I decided each one deserved a site of its own. So I went back to the original Jicchi layout and kept it there. For a while Jicchi was my main site until I made Techy Tejou. 
When I started showing off a bit to friends, there were a few who wanted a site of their own. Furyou is the site of one of my writing friends, who wanted to post the history of his original character on the internet for others to read. He started with one chapter and never updated again. I keep the site for my portfolio. 
After a while my boyfriend pointed out that a lot of my sites were childish, and suggested making a more professional layout for those who didn't want cartoon characters on their sites. Being as easily insulted as I am, I took it as a challenge and created ICB Pro, short for I Can Be Professional, to prove I could be. 
I am fairly certain that Constant Motion is my favorite template. It started off as the belief that I just had to have something cutesy and floaty and bright blue in my portfolio and it came out perfect. It was the first site where I made the layout completely in Photoshop, sliced it, and pieced it together with a table. 
A little while ago I decided that if I kept keeping nasty little comments in my head I would just explode. There was situation after situation in my life where I said what was politically correct while quietly seething in my mind. So I pieced together a fancy little website--including a warning and explanation page for the erratic design--called I Think It's Safe To Say, where I wrote down what I had said in the situation on one side, and what I had been thinking on the other. Give the thumbnail below 5 seconds to show the main page. 
When we got a hold of laptops in Economics class, the first thing I did was show off to my classmates. My teacher, a very understanding soul, stroked his chin thoughtfully and commented on how he may require my services for a pony club his daughter was in. He claims to like the design, and I'm hoping to elaborate on it when his Club decides on whether to 'purchase' the site.
