Hey Jun,

I just went through your portfolio. It's good but it can be Great!

Some points to be considered:

1) Fonts:
The primary and secondary font doesn't feel even. Guess portfolio would be better if you iterate over the Primary font.

2) Color:
There's too much white typography.

3) Background:
The leafy background with that black overlay, kinda making the website look dull.

4) Uneven spacing:
Look where the section title "About" and "Project" is. Both should be on the distance from the left. (I feel)

5) Images:
The project thumbnails are of different dimensions, guess they all should have the same dimensions.

6) Specialties Section:
The spacing from left and right should be the same.

Thank you so much, Juned! Will work on to these 😀Do you recommend using sans-serif or serif fonts for a personal website?

Hey Jun,
Sorry for the late reply.
As far as the fonts are concerned, I'd recommend using a combination of both Serif and Sans Serif. You can check the following websites for inspiration:

kustard.io
kustard.design

Also, for font combinations, you can make use of this website.
fontpair.co

Thank You :)
