Male, Maldives (PRWEB) August 07, 2012

Atoll Paradise has launched Thailand, a new destination with the most luxurious hotels & resorts in the country, to complement its existing destinations of Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius and Indonesia. Thailand is an enchanting oriental kingdom, where ancient Buddhist temples, pristine landscapes, and bustling street markets exist in their own unique harmony.

We have carefully chosen our new resort portfolio to represent the many faces of Thailand. As well as exemplifying the very best in world class hospitality and five star luxury, each resort is beautifully integrated within its surroundings, celebrating Thailand with design, cuisine, service and style, informs Dinesh Bhaskar, the Director of Contracting and Revenue at Atoll Paradise.

Beginning in the North, the fascinating and peaceful provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai offer the appeal of authentic villages, lush vegetation, the Mae Kok River that meanders towards the mighty Me Kong, rare wildlife roaming free, and temple styles with distinct influence from bordering Burma and Laos. Stay at relaxed Anantara Golden Triangle and enjoy views over Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, or enjoy the stunning architecture and impeccable service at Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi.

Further South, the Capital Bangkok offers the charming bustle of a newly modernized Thai mega city, never ceasing to amaze with its mix of technology and tradition. The Peninsula Bangkok is one of the most iconic properties in this dynamic city, and Hotel Muse is the newest addition to the stylish hotels including stunning rooftop bars.

Phuket, just off the Southern Peninsula is a destination in itself: This is Thailands largest island province, boasting urbanized areas, mountain hinterland and stunning beaches, all within close proximity. Choose between stellar Anantara Phuket Villas and relax in its famous Anantara Spa, or stay in one of the opulent Residences of Celebrity Hideout Trisara.

Of course, the famous and ever popular beach regions have not been overlooked, offering an impressive selection of resorts in the iconic coastal Krabi, like Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, featuring a stunning Spa by ESPA, or Rayavadee, which invites to lie back in its opulent two-storey pavilion style villas, or choose to stay in Hua Hin, where Atoll Paradise offers the environmentally conscious Evason and Six Senses Hua Hin, or enjoy a colonial style holiday at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin. Some of the gems in Atoll Paradises Thailand Beach Resort collections are the Banyan Tree Samui, which invites to stay in one of their airy villas all with private pool and stunning views, or the Six Senses Samui that offers another award winning spa facility, or why not book a stay at Tongsai Bay, nestled within a secluded cove amongst ancient trees and lush jungles.

A line-up of less well trodden destinations awaits in the hidden oasis of Koh Kood island the outstanding Soneva Kiri, for example, boasts the luxuriously spacious 6-Bedroom Private Cliff Reserve, ideal to enjoy a vacation with family or a small group of friends.

GraphicDesign.com Examines Building an Online Portfolio

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

A brand new feature article on GraphicDesign.com emphasized, “Needing a professional, well-designed online portfolio is a must for graphic designers.” The piece, written by Marywood University Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Christine Medley, examines ways graphic designers can build and host online portfolios.

There are many content management systems (CMS) graphic designers can utilize for a simple or complex online portfolio. From WordPress to Tumblr to Behance to Squarespace, sites specializing in CMS exist in abundance and each has pros and cons. As long as a graphic designer has a little bit of technical know-how, Medley asserts, “WordPress is by far the most common platform to host various types of websites, including portfolio sites, with or without a blog.”

Medley includes screen shots of WordPress, Tumblr, and Behance to allow prospective portfolio builders to see the ins and outs of each.

She also outlined the benefits of Behance, saying it’s perfect for graphic designers: “The Behance Network site is very popular with the creative community, as it’s a network specifically for artists showcasing creative projects as part of a larger portfolio. It’s free, easy to build, and a good place to start getting your art seen, as you can follow and network with others and post seamlessly with Facebook and Twitter.”

Medley emphasized the importance of having a basic understanding of CSS and HTML, noting, “Graphic designers, especially ones just entering the job market, need to be able to understand basic HTML and CSS and build sites themselves through programs such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Muse.” Both pieces of software allow users to create websites from scratch, as opposed to using a CMS option.

What should graphic designers pay attention to when creating an online portfolio? According to Medley’s piece on GraphicDesign.com, content, functionality, and a simple design are three major factors to take into consideration. Overall, her editorial argues, “You can make the best looking site, but if your work isn’t good, then there’s no point in posting it. Pick the best, keep it fresh, and update often.” Content is king.

Three poll questions follow Medley’s article and allow readers of GraphicDesign.com to share their experiences with the community. The editors of GraphicDesign.com constantly seek to engage the site’s readership, so this week, readers are asked:

Which site do you use for your online portfolio?

Do you think a graphic designer should design and build a portfolio site from scratch using a program like Dreamweaver?

Do you have more than one online portfolio?

The poll will remain open until July 29. Visit GraphicDesign.com and weigh in today. The poll article can be found HERE.
