I think you're work is nice, but a lot of these responses are on point. The thing which could be a problem is the first job that appears in your folio, that chiiky logo. Its nice and all but it is the very first thing people see, and when i closed the window thats all i could really remember. It puts you in the niche market and out of the corporate. Try changing the order of things, put a corporate logo first or something. Also i've found that London agencies and companies place more importance on CV's than ive ever seen before. You need a nice looking CV with a few of your strongest work samples. I made about 5-7 different cv's as some places require 2 work samples, some 5, some none. Also cover letters are important. Back in Aus places never even cared about cv's and they only wanted to see portfolio. London is much different.....i also found that barely any places i sent my cv to even clicked the link to my website to see the rest of my work. That's why a good CV is so important. in order of priority to getting a job in london:
1. Nice professional CV
2. Nice Printed portfolio
3. Website.Thats in my experience anyways.
