@fate_:
I appreciate and respect your observations. As some designers may be familiar, often times contracts will include a section that states you are unable to publicly display the work you've done for that company. That's the case in the current brands I've been working for. The work I've done for Nike, on the other hand, won't be released for quite some time and they request that you don't display it until a month before its release. The link below the work allows me to show my work in a private setting, which is more acceptable/allowed.
In response to your "no one cares..." comment, I feel it is important to allow potential clients/employers to get a little insight as to who you are as a person instead of just having a cold, unemotional website. It gives you a small degree of separation when they are sifting through heaps of résumés and portfolio sites. It may just give you enough separation to let that employer know that you have the personality that fits perfect in their agency, or the complete opposite, in which case you probably wouldn't want to work there anyway. As far as the "daily cup", if it does nothing more than provide a few links that fellow designers may be interested in, that's all I really care about. In any case, it'll give someone an idea of what I'm interested in and that's its intended purpose.
Thanks for checking out the site!
