This blog was originally created to connect with different creatives around the world.
In order to stay true to this, I decided to develop this page for you to introduce yourself, promote your portfolio and interact with other creatives who also share the same desire to learn something new.
Wow… that sounds pretty corny.
Promote Your Portfolio
Simply type your details into the comment section below. This includes your name, your portfolio/ website URL and your email address. Also be sure to mention in the comments what you do and what kind of creative field you specialise in.
If you’re interested in expanding your portfolio, I recommend that you read the book “80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills” & “How to Create a Portfolio & Get Hired”. These are two great books that can help you develop and improve your portfolio.

Hi, there!
My name is Christa Raleva and I’m a co-founder of High Names (http://highnames.com/) – an international naming agency. I am the copywriter of the agency and am writing all sorts of naming-related articles for our naming blog. Our case portfolio is not long because High Names is a recently created naming portfolio of our main company – the Ralev.com (http://ralev.com/) brand identity studio. Since branding includes all sorts of design, we decided to separate them in sub-portfolios and hence the High Names agency appeared due to the need for naming when creating a new brand identity.
If you’re in need for naming services for your company, brand, product etc, feel free to contact us : )
Thanks for getting in touch, Rahat!
No problem Christa, great to have you here

Greetings!
I’m Paul Harrison, a doctor of archaeology/Egyptology. I’m currently involved in a number of projects which examine the history and impact of archaeology and colonial activity.
First up is a documentary, Eye on the Needle (www.eyeontheneedle.com), which tracks the history and conservation of one of our nation’s most beloved gifted monuments, Cleopatra’s Needle on the Thames Embankment, which I’m co-producing and presenting.
Next is my forthcoming book, Profane Egyptologists. This examines the development of Egyptology as a ‘Western scientific discipline’, and explores alternative approaches to pharaonic material in the West, with a focus on contemporary religious groups, esoterica and so-called ‘alternative’ approaches to Egypt.
There are others, but these are all works in progress. Please feel welcome to visit http://www.eyeontheneedle.com for updates about our shoot, crowd-funding campaign, and crew-work opportunities!
Thanks for reading!
Paul
Wow! You got my attention by saying you’re an Egyptologist. I actually did a BSc Archaeology at the University of Reading and graduated last year. Sadly, according to your WP page, the blog you mentioned is under construction but I will be looking forward to see the results of your projects!
Best regards,
Christa
It’s great to see everyone interacting with each other. I’m glad this post is serving it’s purpose.
Hey! Thanks, Christa, appreciate the feedback and interest! I know somebody who teaches archaeology at Reading… quite a career shift for you then!
There is some background info on the ‘about’ page (I think we need to make that button bigger), and on my own site http://www.drpaulharrison.com. Most updates will be forthcoming from my tweets, however, @Doc_Harrison. Feel free to hit me up. Interesting site you have there, I’ll be sure to pass my entrepreneurial friends your way for all their naming needs!
Best!
Paul
Thanks for the links! I am actually doing a Masters in Archaeometry and am planning to go into Underwater Archaeology as well, so definitely haven’t changed my field of study – hence the interest in your project. However, I like the challenge of learning new languages and wordplay and naming have become some sort of a second field of interest. Looking forward to the updates on your upcoming film and book!
Christa

Name is Kieron, I am a web designer and developer from Glastonbury, I have just launched a new portfolio. any useful feedback would be great.
Hey Kieron, You have a great website that’s very minimal and easy to navigate through. One thing I suggest you do is have actual links to the websites you have created. Another thing you should do is show different pages of the websites that you have created. This will show clients what you can do and what you’re capable of.
I agree with Rahat – your website is easy on the eyes, which is good. However, adding links to your projects will be good, as well as adding some extra visualisations (printscreens) which would give further idea of your skills as designer and developer
Also, the contact panel seems to me to be a bit gigantic and plain white – if you resize it a bit you can add a photo or map or something to colour up the space a bit : )
A great platform provided by you…thank u so much

Hi Rahat,
I’ve just discovered your website. Lots of good info here.
I’m a freelance graphic designer and recently launched my website – http://www.designhandyman.com
There is a sea of very talented creatives out there.
How can we market our services to gain more visibility (and customers)? Any idea?
Hi Filipe,
One of the best ways to market yourself is by creating a blog and start writing content about your niche. If you’ve subscribed to my mailing list, then you’ll be getting regular updates on how to do this.
Hi Rahat,
Blogging is something I’m aiming to achieve in a near future. For the moment, my goal is to get my services visible to more people, because I’m totally confident I can satisfy 100% any request I’m given.

Hello,
My name is Lyndon and I would say I am first and foremost a writer. I am also a glazier by trade (commercial, residential, auto). Definitely one of those types whose been drawing since he/she was in diapers. Recently, I have taught myself how to use CAD and discovered shapeways.com, which has been pretty outstanding to say the least. I am 1000% more concerned with making cool designs than with making ca$h. Ideas aren’t even allowed to evacuate the brain unless I think they are at least half-decent. Most of all, I like to use make-shift to make sh*t happen. Pardon my francais.
*There is some AMAZING artists who have posted on this thread, good stuff!
