Hi all,
I have finally updated my web site for all to see.
http://www.vinneywhite.co.uk
Mixed with some ego boosting pics from my world trip, this site is aimed at one thing: getting me more work. Will it work? Feedback apprecaited.

i don't like it when ppl talk about themself like they're someone else:
"Vinney White is a professionally qualified and experienced graphic designer"
at least the website has to reflect the so called "Brilliant design skills with a particular flair for typography"
but i don't know what possible clients you're targetting.

you wanna look at that on a mac, os9.. all over the place.
The sites not up to much in my opinion, poor typography, cheesy styling, powerpoint downloads (wtf?!) 1998 flash folio - whats with the 'whoosh' sound? why popups? no back to main site button.. sorry dude, not impressed.
- Vinney20
Point taken on the angle of writing. It's a tricky one... do you think "I am a professioanly qual..." would be better?
As for your second point, I like the look of it, and it's simplicity. I am targeting
1 other designers with overflow work
2 design agencies that take on freelancers.
3 Small companies that need web and printing projects looked after.

yeah, what's with the thrid person tone of voice, that's a bit wank, and the stolen apple.com nav buttons with bad type on top.
imo, it's pants
PS, the javascript clock at the bottom is shit, you are the KING of COPY and PASTE

damn pixlebreaker beat me to it
- pixelbreaker0
maybe along with your national pride that you left in brazil, you left your design talent, and originality
- pixelbreaker0
Sorry BeachBoy!
- Vinney20
well this is going well.
- stewart0
hahahaaa!
if you're the king of copy and paste, rip my website http://www.vormgeversassociatie.…, add your own background image and you'll have your "look and simplicity".

sorry Vinney2 i'm not one to normal give bad comments but i'm not really diggin the site i don't think you have spent that much time on detail and i don't think you have put alot of thought before starting this site.
just what i think ; )
- stewart0
here, look what you can do with 1 hour sketching and 3 hours building (most of the time was editing the photographs)
- stewart0
oh yeah, and delete the
"© 2004 Vinney White Design"
in the footers.

you have got to be taking the p1ss stu. Everyone has a point but you I feel
- BeachBoy0
stewart, you're hired!
It takes something for a recruitment consultant to be able to "crit" your site. I usually stay away, as I have no credibility or history of design so don't feel I am worthy of being able to crit peoples work...
but...
you even managed to get me to make a negative comment.
I dont mean to be mean mate - but that site looks too familiar to a site that is probably bookmarked to thousands and thousands of your peers and potential employers out there.
- stewart0
i don't get it BeachBoy (because my english, sorry)
was that negative comment for me or for our friend Vinney?
- stewart0
Thanks for explaining MR_T.
So BeachBoy. Where am i hired now? I was looking for a new job anyway and in the UK is OK so i can learn some good english.
