Portfolio Concepts

I have been doing a lot of thinking about the design of my portfolio since week 1 and have been stuck on two very similar designs. Both feature slide shows with different categories (landscape, architecture, portraits and abandoned) a section for contact information and a section with my resume. The other design is based off Cam De Leon's site style using a lot of his art in a flash site, i know i don't know enough flash at the moment to build a site like that so i don't think this will be the portfolio design i pick for class due to time constraints but eventually would like to build an in depth flash site maybe with two sides, my art work on one side and my photography on the other. Most of my practical ideas relate this these two basic designs mainly differing in color but i think a very monochromatic color palette with my color images on the page to act as accents is a good idea.
