Creative Self Promotion: Humorous, Ingeniously Written About Pages

It is no secret that writing an effective ‘About’ page is not easy! For some, well, they just don’t like talking about themselves and find it difficult to convey their message in the way they want to. This is just one reason why some turn to humor for their About page. For those of us reading these pages it can be a great uplift in the working day to come across a humorous text or graphic display.

Something that can make you smile is one of the best tonics known to man. Hopefully you will find some of these About page texts amusing enough to raise a smile or even a chuckle!

I have included the text for most of the examples below the screenshot to prevent eye-strain!

  • Marcela is a Web Designer based in Orlando, FL. Originally, she is from Colombia, so she has that Latin flavor going on.
  • She loves design.
  • Her fingers can type 65 words per minute, so she can program as fast as the speed of light! (ahem…not really).
  • She wears converse because they are so comfy and look so cool!

Yup, you’re here alright. The hairy thing on the left is my virtual persona. His name is Garphee and he rules this website. He’s like the king of my portfolio. He will make you view my works, read a couple of things about me and maybe buy some sh*t. Enjoy him!

Do you accept demos?
 
We don’t really accept demos. It’s not like we don’t want to hear your music, it’s just that we don’t release a lot of records. But, if you like saving trees and want to email us a link where we can hear a song, we will probably give it a listen…. if it is good, or bad, or both. That said, it is conceivable that we may not respond because we are either crocheting small animals, playing hockey, or going to communist party meetings.

I was like any normal gal… single gal… working gal… gal whose friends were always getting married! I was the gal who would race to the mailbox on any given day and pass quickly over the seemingly never-ending bills and dig for whatever social mail had my name on it. Some of the bills even outsmarted me – and managed to address my name in a beautiful script typeface, on an invitation-sized envelope, confusing me for a moment and making me think maybe, just maybe American Express wanted to invite me to some fabulous fete! and more…. 2 pages of text in this style!

Jared works hard and tries not to take himself too seriously. He is also tall, and is a terrible basketball player. What a useless stump.
 
What Jared lacks in dribbling and free-throw skills he more than makes up for in internet skills. A career Visual Designer, Jared has spent the last 10 years slam-dunking design work for clients big and small.

Odds & Ends

You Are?
The name is Zhixin Lim, which I’ve to admit, doesn’t quite have the Bond-James-Bond ring to it. As to who I am, I could tell you but then I would have to kill you.
 
Do people find your name weird?
Well, I hope not! People do have a hard time pronouncing my name though.
 
So, how do I pronounce your name?
Here’s yours truly giving you a martian-like greeting while pronouncing own name (over indistinguishable snippets of Star Wars theme for theatrical effect). If all things fail, just call me Zach.
 
Hmm, so Zach, how old are you?
I’m at an age that would raise eyebrows if said age is divulged. FYI, I celebrate my birthday on October 24. No, I don’t mind anonymous birthday gifts.

Fitz Fitzpatrick
Fitz Fitzpatrick

Alright. My name is Fitz. I’m an Australian freelance illustrator and designer based in Sydney. I love to draw and design nice things, and that’s pretty much it really.
 
I’m currently working as a freelancer, which is rad because I can work wearing nothing but a pair of undies worn with holes for a bit of fresh air. Sometimes I mix it up and wear nothing at all. Now, if that fantastic mental image hasn’t put you off hiring me, then feel free to contact me to say hello, or preferably, if you think we can do some rad work together. You can get in touch by shooting me an email or giving me a ring. Either or, I’m not fussed.
 
Anyway, have a look around my site to see the sort of rubbish I can produce, or if you’re the reading type, you can check out my resume.

  • Oh yeah… have you heard about Legwork?
  • I hear they drive pink Corvettes and their eyes sparkle like the stars.
  • Damn right, not to mention they’ve got powerful skills when it comes to websites, mobile and web applications, print, illustration and motion design.
  • Dude that sounds like the most righteous gig since We’re Stars, tell me more.
  • Legwork is just a small company.
  • Maybe it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the…
  • What he means is, because they’re small they can better meet the individual demands of each client in terms of creativity, flexibility, spontaneity and general face-slapping ability.
  • Well, it sounds like the founders of Legwork were all conceived in the magical womb of creative talent.
  • Yeah girl – you got that right!
  • I’m a boy.
  • They also slap the shit out of deadlines, bring a fresh perspective to any project and they have a fun way of doing it. Now, if that don’t rock, I don’t know what does!
  • Yeah, dude, that totally rocks!

I was born in ’86. 86 million years ago that is.. So this one day me and my homeboys were just chilling out and out of nowhere this asteroid appeared that started doing a drive-by-shooting. That damn asteroid killed everyone on earth but me. For the next few million years my diet existed out of stones and dirt. With some salt those limestones are pretty tasty!
 
So, last week I used the bus to get to work. I was just minding my own business and all of the sudden this guy behind me demanded that I had to move to the backseat of the bus, complaining that my tail was in his face. Isn’t that the exact same thing that happened to that Rosa Parks? Someone stood up for her.. not for me though. Where’s Martia when you need him.
