    Hi,

    Yes, good work. Here is my mudslinging:

    Less of each piece please - i can barely fit all of each piece onto the screen, much less the descriptive text that goes with it. For example, the first piece you have six spreads for the south america brochure - I can get the gist of your design with two or three spreads.

    Also... you could make the images of your print pieces bigger. Since you're a print designer I'd love to see the type and spacing you use, but at the tiny size you have them, I can't make it out at all. If you don't make the image size bigger, at least include a detail image.

    I agree that you could cut down on the # of projects - your travel brochures do look pretty similar. Perhaps present an image of stacked copies of all of them, followed by interior spreads of one of them, if you want to show that you did more than one?

    Finally, I like the collage of all your work at the top. It would be even better if I could click each one and the page would scroll to the project in question. No fancy script needed here, you can do this in dreamweaver.

    Extra-finally, I agree with Orbit in that your about text needs to be nicely laid out - you're a designer, this is your chance to show off (:
