Could you do the RFA reacting to goth MC? Like, one day they actually visit her house and she's all ready go on a date in her gothic attire and her house is decked with homunculus and specimen jars? Skulls littering the house and coffin shaped everything around them? (If you wanna do different subcategories of goth, that would be awesome! But i understand if you just want to stick to one ^^) thank you, even if you don't do this one! I'm asking a lot tonight, haha!

I tried to write about different types of goth but the only two I’m completely familiar with are normal goth and pastel goth. I also tried to write about cyber goth for Seven as I thought it would be interesting, so I hope it’s ok :)

Yoosung - goth

Yoosung is so excited to meet you for the first time

He’s wearing the cutest little waistcoat and has a bouquet of flowers in his hands

This boy has come so prepared for the date

He knocks on the door and he’s really nervous

You open the door in full goth clothing and he’s taken aback

There’s so much black!

You invite him inside while you find a vase for the flowers and he stands awkwardly, waiting for you to come back

He can’t help but look around at the dark wood sideboard and shelves filled with skulls, black crosses and jars filled with…. things?

The jars actually draw Yoosung’s attention and when you come back into the room, he’s examining them closely

This boy wants to be a vet, things like this interest him

‘I didn’t know you collected things like this, MC.’

You’re actually surprised that you haven’t already told him about your gothic lifestyle before

Yoosung finds it intriguing and asks you loads of questions about it on your date

He wants to know why you like it and how long you’ve been goth for

After you’ve been dating Yoosung for a while, you start to notice his wardrobe turning slightly goth

Is that a skull on his desk wearing his headphones?

Sure, he still usually wears colourful clothes and has his room painted bright colours but you’ve influenced a slight change

When you move in together, the house becomes a mismatch of orange shelves with specimen jars on; bright blue walls with black furniture and LOLOL figures with a coffin shaped candle holders next to them

Zen - pastel goth

Zen has wanted to visit your home for a while now but every time he suggests going to yours before a date, you come up with some excuse to meet him elsewhere

This time, he’s persuaded you to let him visit you at home

Little does he know, that you’ve not allowed him to come to your home because of the pastel gothic interior

You’ve been worried that Zen won’t understand your lifestyle choices and you’ve even dressed slightly differently when you’ve met up with him before

This time when he knocks at your pastel blue door, he’s met with the real you

And he absolutely loves it

You look so cute

He loves the pastel lilacs and pinks that you’re wearing and he really wants to see the inside of your house

This boy loves it all so much

He loves the contrast between the adorable pastel aesthetic and the edgy dark goth style

Ok, so maybe the skulls and specimen jars are a bit much for him but he totally accepts it

This is what you like so he’ll accept it 100%

The gothic parts of the room make him reminiscent of his days in the biker gang (although they aren’t really all that similar)

Zen tells you how much he loves your home and your clothes and you become much more confident about wearing them around him

Zen starts to adapt his wardrobe to include a lot of pastel colours but also wears biker leathers again

ZEN WEARING PASTEL PINK

You and him wear matching pastel goth outfits sometimes and his fans go crazy every time it happens

He has so many cute nicknames for you based on your love of pastel goth (I tried to think of some but the best I could come up with was ‘Goth Bunny’. I’m sure Zen could do better)

Jaehee - pastel goth

Jaehee does not know what she’s walked into when she visits your home

She’s came over to talk to you over a cup of coffee and now she’s walked into a whole new world

Sure, she’d seen some of your pastel goth clothes before but there’s a difference between having some clothes in a different style and having your home decorated like it!

She’s thought it was just a fashion statement

She feels like Alice and she’s fallen into wonderland and she’s not sure whether she likes it or hates it.

There’s a strange mix of fear, awe and confusion in Jaehee’s mind

The homunculus and specimen jars are causing the fear

They may just be worse than Jumin’s obsession with Elizabeth the 3rd

Jaehee’s always been a very practical woman and she doesn’t see the purpose of extravagant clothes or quirky interior design

So, what’s the purpose of the skulls on your dresser or the elaborate black chandelier above her head?

Jaehee doesn’t hate it, but she doesn’t really like it

It all feels a little too strange for her and she’s much happier when you offer to go out to a cafe with her

After you’ve known Jaehee for a while, she starts to get used to it

She doesn’t embrace it like some of the other members do, but she learns to love you for your unique qualities

Jumin - goth

Jumin is so excited to see you at your own home

He really wants to know what the home his princess lives in looks like

When you open the door wearing gothic attire, he takes a step back

He’s even more shocked when he catches a glance at your home behind you

Can someone please explain to Jumin what’s happening?

This guy just thinks you’re really religious at first

Just look at all those crucifix and crosses

And skulls

Ok, why does his girlfriend live in a mausoleum?

He truly doesn’t understand it

He’s lived such a shielded life that he doesn’t know about different types of people, such as goths.

He’s so conservative that he’s actually speechless for once

He is inquisitive though and wants to learn more

‘MC, your home is rather unique.’

He doesn’t want to offend you but this is out of his comfort zone

After Jumin learns more about you being a goth, he becomes accustomed to it

He doesn’t love the goth decor nor does he hate it

This man loves every single part of you, whether it’s unusual or not, so he’ll accept it into his life.

Secretly, it still confuses him

He has to admit you look stunning in your gothic clothes and adores helping you pick them out

Seven- Cyber goth/ industrial goth

Seven’s come to your house to take you out on your first date together

Of course, he’s seen pictures of you from your social media when he was doing the background check but nothing prepared him for what he saw

As soon as he sees the mixture of neon colours, dark gothic features and leather, he’s fallen head over heels in love

THE PICTURES ON YOUR FACEBOOK WEREN’T LIKE THIS

Your outfit is the hottest thing he’s ever see

All the leather, fishnets and revealing clothes are turning him on

He’s so flustered

You invite him inside while he regains his composure

Your house is so cool, in his opinion

He loves the mixture of vintage feeling gothic pieces with the futuristic neon colours

He’s reminded of aliens and thinks he’s in some kind of cool spaceship

He’d ask you about everything, studying all the interesting specimen jars and neon lights on the shelves

He wants to see more of your wardrobe, but doesn’t ask as that would sound very weird on your first date (and he doesn’t want you to kick him out now)

This boy would make things that would suite the decor of your house like a computer with neon lights or a tv in the shape of a coffin.

You can bet he invests in some really cool cyber goth clothes so that he can match with you

No matter how long you’ve been dating Seven, he still finds your cyber goth clothes incredibly sexy

Constantly wants to make out with you and tear off your tight fitted clothes before you’ve even left the house ;)

You are fulfilling Seven’s wildest fantasies

When you move in together, he is more than happy to allow you to redecorate the bunker in cyber goth style

Just keep the glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, his computers in the right place and Honey Buddha Chips in the kitchen and he’ll be happy

20 Best New Portfolios, May 2018

Welcome back, readers. It’s May, and that means the weather’s getting hotter. Stay inside, away from the evil, evil sunshine. Relax, grab a lemonade, and browse through this month’s collection of portfolios. This time around, we have a whole lot of grid-based minimalism with black borders, and some other stuff, too.

Note: I’m judging these sites by how good they look to me. If they’re creative and original, or classic but really well-done, it’s all good to me. Sometimes, UX and accessibility suffer. For example, many of these sites depend on JavaScript to display their content at all; this is a Bad Idea, kids. If you find an idea you like and want to adapt to your own site, remember to implement it responsibly.

Frank Chimero

We’ve actually featured a previous version of Frank Chimero’s portfolio once before, back in February 2016. Where the previous iteration was mainly focused on selling his writing, this version includes portfolios for his design and illustration as well.

It’s still pretty simple and modern, but there’s now a definite tendency toward using more images. Also, those pencil strokes in the background are a very nice touch, and fit thematically with all of the work he does.

Platform: Static Site

Jacqui Nguyen

Jacqui Nguyen is an architect, and her one-page portfolio pulls off something I didn’t expect to see this month: an accordion-based layout that I actually kind of like. It doesn’t hurt, mind you, that it’s styled to look vaguely like a file drawer.

I have a weird love for office supplies I never use. Anyway, that slight touch of skeuomorphism is just enough to set her site apart without delving into the realm of leather textures and other abominations. Above all, it is functional. That feels appropriate for an architect.

Platform: WordPress

Tej Chauhan

Tej Chauhan combines the presentation style website with pseudo-brutalism (read: minimalism with monospaced type) in a way that I find interesting. On the one hand, you have the presentation-style layout and handling of images for the portfolio, plus the nigh-unusable navigation so prevalent in presentation sites. (The red dot is the menu button.) On the other, every other element is near-brutalist in its aesthetic.

I wouldn’t adopt Tej’s approach to navigation, but the rest of the design presents some interesting contrast in style.

Platform: WordPress

A Friend of Mine

A Friend of Mine is a design agency that took on an interesting challenge when designing their portfolio: limiting the sense of style and personality as much as possible. Their whole shtick is that they tackle every problem differently, according to the situation. They don’t have a “house style”.

In execution, this means that their site is as simple as possible, taking minimalism to its practical extreme. I like to think that the constantly changing background color on the first part of their home page is a symbol of their commitment to doing everything differently as-needed.

Platform: Static Site

Studio Six

Studio Six’s agency portfolio is basically a study in what you might call corporate elegance. It has some of the hallmarks of artsy work, some fantastic typography, and the some of the restraint of your average corporate site. It manages to strike a balance between all of the elements that you don’t see to often.

Platform: Static Site and/or JS App

Katie Shillingford

Katie Shillingford is a fashion stylist, and her site goes for that magazine feel without trying to completely copy magazine layouts. It’s actually one of the better examples I’ve seen of adapting a print medium’s aesthetic to the web, even if it is loaded down with slideshows galore.

Platform: Static Site

daji studio

daji studio is the portfolio of Kenji Yoshida, a sound designer. You might expect, then, to be blasted by audio the second you open the page.

But lo and behold, Kenji is polite. No audio plays until you click one of the many “play” buttons scattered around the pleasing grid-based design. Be like Kenji.

And the site looks cool, too. The audio visualizations that take over the whole screen when you click a play button can be jarring at first, but overall, I like them.

Platform: WordPress

Hiatus

Hiatus is a team of video editors, and their site is deliciously creative. From making their branding look kind of like a pause button, to the rustic style of their site, to the layout that literally keeps the branding front and center at all times, this thing just… well it made me look.

Plus, unlike most video studios, they don’t hit you with a bunch of auto-playing video. You have to actually click on a project and then click play, so you’ve got plenty of time to set up your headphones first, and it won’t hurt your data caps unless you want it to.

Platform: Static Site

Under After

Under After is another minimalist portfolio that spices things up with just a hint of an illustrator’s touch, here and there. The site’s strongest point is really its typography, but the general layout is pretty snazzy as well.

I actually really like the way they designed those testimonials, and it might be the first time I’ve ever said that. Or not. I just know I don’t say it that often.

Platform: Static Site

Base

Base is a branding studio, and they’ve gone with a website design that forgoes any real fancy touches, and gets straight to showing off their work. It’s simple, it’s clean, it looks good.

Platform: WordPress

Mathilde Serra

Mathilde Serra is an art director with a strong emphasis on type. Combined with the strong colors, and a penchant for illustration, her portfolio looks classy and creative.

It’s so good, it’s almost worth the pre-loader. No but really, go look through the case studies. They’re beautiful.

Platform: Static Site

Johanne Roten

Johanne Roten is a Swiss graphic designer, and the Swiss style definitely shows in her work. It’s got that feeling of near-extreme-minimalism we’ve come to associate with our favorite some of our favorite designers from there. It’s also maybe one of the more well-organized one-page portfolios I’ve ever seen.

Platform: Static Site

Make Architects

Make Architects is an interesting portfolio, and not just for its design, which looks darn good. It takes that asymmetry-focused minimalism that got so popular last year, and combines it with a more business-friendly aesthetic.

It also spends half of its home page showing off not just their work, but advertising how they work. ie. it’s an employee-owned company, etc. They put just as much effort into letting you know what to expect from their business practices as anything else. It’s an approach I’ve seen before, but these people do it right from the get-go.

Platform: WordPress

Studio Thomas

Studio Thomas is one of those studios that has, with some mild animation aside, chosen the dead-simple look for their site. I am rather partial, though, to the header/navigation. It takes an interesting approach to telling the user where they are on the site at all times, putting the page title right up top with the site’s name.

It’s like they think telling you what page you’re on is equal in importance to telling you who they are. And I can’t say I disagree.

Platform: Vue.js / Nuxt

MAD

MAD has also gone for a dead-simple look, but they’ve given their type and visual flair a distinctly playful look through very small touches. It’s a subtle kind of full-site branding, but it gets the message across while keeping the site usable and readable. I can get behind that.

Platform: Static Site

Artomatic

Artomatic is bringing us yet more of that minimalism with lots of black borders that is this month’s theme. Well, there’s also a sense of carefully-imposed order, and one of the nicer approached to video that I’ve seen.

Platform: Static Site (probably)

Creative Media Design

Creative Media Design is a German design studio with a style that you might call simple, professional, efficient, and quintessentially German. True to the ambitions stated in their name, though, the site is livened up with the excellent use of accent colors, and a few small touched of handwriting-style type.

Platform: WordPress

MD is yet another site on this list competing for “most minimalist thing since blank paper”. I mean, portfolio slideshows aside, it has a one-column layout. And yet, it still looks good.

Platform: Static Site

Drexler

Drexler’s studio portfolio spices things up by going back to the old asmymmetry. I mean, what’s old is new again, right? Or at least what’s old is a refreshing change of pace in a sea of grid-heavy aesthetics.

Platform: WordPress

Josh Sender

And lastly, Josh Sender has introduced me to the beautiful Romana BT family of typefaces. Just look at those headings. I mean, the rest of the site is good, but those headings are beautiful.

I also rather like the approach to the navigation used on this one-page portfolio. It’s simple, efficient, and mostly stays out of your way, while never being exactly hidden.

Platform: WordPress
