good stuff in there man. just one suggestion about the big red box at the top.. why not just make a one pixel wide..
it took me less time to make it than explain it

check the source. that way you arent loading a bunch of images

in said box,
beef up the text (your name) so it isn't so broken up, faint.
Otherwise its all good, great really.

a quick note about the web portfolio.. the top headers you designed are great, but the content blow looks recycled and in need of typography help. and a little layout management
:)
you know what i mean.
good identity designs too

i know, i know. but honestly, they are too small

i'm also interested in - The 3 Most Fatal Mistakes Web Designers Make and how to avoid them.

help me avoid them

bon....LOL
funny shit there at the end.
my biggest probelm is getting a job now....
it seems like the websites i've done dont reflect my ablity and the people want to see more corporate work....
it sucks, cause i'm telling them that i have to pay the bills and thats the work that i have.....
i tell them that they can see the skill and quality of the print work, and obviously from the fact that i'm able to do the websites that i'm skilled enough....
its frustrating man.....i know i am good..no where near great, but i'm good...and i cant get a fuckin job.
its bullshit.

i like the boards and the identity, did you do the logo for that hosting company, i forgot the name of the hosting company, or maybe its hosting rocket, not sure though

The one page is more direct, you could say. maybe expand the site and show that your skills are as good as you say they are.
Its your prsonal web space, So I would say do mad shit, crazy ass design.
Other than that your site works well! +_=

I like the fact it's all on one page,
the work looks good, a bit too small yes.
a small bio would be nice
clear and colorful stuff!

thanks for the tips guys...I've been reworking the site based on all of your feedback....just making sure I have enough feedback to make the needed changes.
got 2 emails back re: jobs.....one place told me that the starting salary is 25K i replyed back saying I cant live on that....sorry.
the other wanted to offer me an internship! I told them I'm almost 30 and cant work for free.
WTF is going on?
25K? internshiP? this is fuckin MAD.
i'm getting so fuckin pissed off.
- DigitalMe0
yeah, it's too bad it's not 1998. With your design skills you would have been able to walk into a much better deal.
Sign of the times I guess.
- crapmeister0
if u are pissed off: there's a thread called what pisses u off
right up your alley!
- dconstrukt0
digtial: Yeah..i suppose you're right....
it fuckin sucks. I went back to school at 27, for 2 years for this?
fuck. I wont take a job for 25k....I had to let the guy know that....and the internship...HA.
crap: yeah...i'll be ranting on that post shortly.
