Alex's graphic design and branding portfolio have a beautiful and interactive grid-based portfolio layout if you like nice animations and aesthetic scrolling effects this would be a great example to get inspired from. The homepage is made up of one featured project on the left and grid-based projects on the right with categories and tiles under the feature images.
Once you click on any portfolio image it opens a new page with detail about the client, year, and county of origin, nice detail you can incorporate into your own portfolio website.
The logo is on the top left corner and the main navigation with social icons is on the top right, there is a very cool mouse effect where a circle follows the mouse movement giving a unique experience. This is a great graphic design portfolio example for anyone who loves the grid-based layout with nice animation effects.
