It's a tough choice between 1 and 3, but I think I would say 1 purely because it's a bit simpler. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the grass and sky concept, but it's clean and fresh with lots of space around the design.

I like how you've given a big space for the portfolio images (design 1) and I can't really see much that you could improve on with it. Maybe try an image of grass instead of an illustration?

And don't forget to stick some text near the top somewhere explaining what the website is and who you are. A logo and a tagline would do the job perfectly.

I likw the first one too but I also like the idea of the third one.

Is it meant to be like folder dividers? I think I'd like it better if you used bolder colours though.

Yes, its folder dividers with text and an image. This is a simple idea but I dont think it says professional to me, it says more student looking at it again and that’s not what I want peoples first impressions to be.

I decided to go for a Zen garden earthy design with the first one, but this is the first iteration and I like the layout of the first one too. I think I will change the theme of this design and make it more modern looking in the final design.

I think the first design is definitely your strongest. I like how you have given the emphasis to the work which has got to be our primary aim.

I like the feature at the bottom of the page too where you can scroll through other examples of work.

I think I favour no.1 out of the 3 choices, you could incorporate the outdoor design style you have used as a theme for the co-id for your site.

Blue Sky, green grass, grass roots etc. I think it needs some form of logo to tie the look together.

I agree with Ben that the scroll feature along the bottom is a really good idea to show off your work.
