Hi, I am new to QBN - what do you guys think of my work >>> http://www.chrisdarmon.com/

Hi Obey,
The work itself is pretty good in my opinion, but the 3D rendering is overpowering it, if you could render it with better lighting, that would help. Alternatively find another way to display it?
Thats my 2 cents.
- Thanks man, appreciate that.obey_pdx
- Looks good, man.PepeTheFrog
- It's refreshing to see people like Kiko give valuable feedback. +1happybananas
- Yes.makeqbngreatagain

I have worked at shitty places like Nike, Adidas and Microsoft... I like patents, I like big butts and I cannot lie... All you other brother can't deny...

Since QBN banned me:
1.) I got Adidas to produce my shoebox and made a tiny bit of money
2.) I worked at Microsoft
3.) Partnered with two former NBA players on a design business
4.) Signed a three year deal with Mindstyle and the NBA only to never have any of my toys or products made that I worked 6+ months on and developed from scratch
5.) Became very humble, older and more serious... yawn.
6.) Played alot of destiny on PS4- Cool story broset

It's like QBN is stuck in a timewarp... It's exactly the same as it was 2 years ago. That's kinda sad... I was hoping for some sort of evolution... Like a tiny kitten with laser eyes, only there are no laser eyes - it's still just a tiny kitten.
- were you hoping for more constructive criticism?Kiko
- Evidently QBN will never be what you want it to be, young sonny jim.set
- CD! Aww shit. I know u. Glad you're still around.bezoar
- There was a complete redesign last year. Surely you noticed that.monospaced

this is too funny.
I honestly was just thinking about this guy the other day...
saw some shoeboxes at a local store and got wondering about that dude that kept posting about shoeboxes here...and whadaya know...he posts again :)
congrats about Adidas producing your shoebox dude...well done :)
and same goes for the partnership with the NBA guys...sorry to hear about them not producing your work after 6months... is there anything in the contract where you can take the work back and sell it to others or something along those lines?

None of your logos of strong. Maybe take those off.

All the Nike installations are great, do you work for them?
- feel1
yes, i don't like the typeface that appears right when you enter the site, looks like some old ass photoshop effects
but the packaging looks great, i like the portfolio site overall
keep it up

Chris, I always enjoyed your crazy ideas and enthusiasm and creativity.
Like I've told you before, after seeing your ideas I gave myself "permission" to really go out on a limb creatively.
Did wonders for my career.

Some nice work.
Polygonal stuff - terrible. Why lead with it?
The Kenny Dobbs thing is straight psychosis to air dirty laundry on a portfolio site. I would remove that immediately.
- AndI really dislike how the projects are organized and mashed together.Hayoth
- What is so terrible with the Polygonal stuff?utopian
- It just seems off to me. I think it's the type i really dislike.Hayoth
- The technique is actuallycalled the delaney triangulation.Hayoth
- And maybe change the background VB of the site from white to black since so many projects sit on black.Hayoth
- The type is horrific I agree, the images and styling on the other hand are rather nice.utopian
