Good stuff. The only suggestion I can make is watch the nav hierachy. Your print pieces loading on the far left makes it look like that is primary nav and print:identity:web etc is secondary. Your current layout may also get a little tricky if you want to add more packaging pieces at a later date. All that aside youre beyond the level of skill I had at your age so best of luck.

I havent read through the other posts, so here is my 2 cents...
I would get rid of the photography section.
No offence or anything. I like pics, but it seems to be more of a hobby. So i'd drop it. Just stick with your print work, that is were your strenght is.
If you're presenting a portfolio show your strongest work.
I see to many people with strong graphic design skills, and then for some reason they throw in a photography section and it just throws everything out of wack because it is not their area of expertise.
that's about it, otherwise the site is pretty good, it shows the work well enough.

great work aframe, nice clean site too.
Check the kerning on your mouse over graphics, there seems to be a difference.
I would chnage the sub menu navigation to text as per your name in the Contact section. It'll be easier to update your folio at a later date.
And remove item with ocoming soon as there no point in having them there wasting clicks and anoying users..
I agree with the removal of the photography section.
I love your print work, this rocks;
Great work

stick to relevant experience in your resume. We've all been busboys or other jobby jobs. It's clear you've been a student so the other stuff isn't important.
your print stuff rocks.

I don't always agree with ditching the stuff on your resume...If you worked your way through college its something to be admired. However if it was high school jobs id probably ditch them.

Work experience is work experience.
It's not such a bad thing to have on there (bus boy or whatever), if it is a transferable skill.
I remember interviews that I had out of school, and on my resume I didnt have anywork experience because I was applying to deisgn jobs. And the interviewer would ask, "so what did you do while at school before etc." they know you're out of school so put down the jobs that you did. Again it could be a transfarable skill, ie. if your worked some kind of sales job it may show you know how to deal with people etc. etc. don't worry about the title work is work.
Now if you you are putting down the paper route that you did when you were in grade 9 then obviously you can scratch that.
Think about the job and the skill that may be relevant for what you are applying to.

do you guys think that the "note:" before the aframe brochure is appropriate. or are there ohtre ways of approaching it that you find more appropriate. I just wanted something there because its not my photography, but my professor let me use it sense there was no way of getting the photographs I needed, and I didn't have near enough money to pay masterfile or corbis. you guys' thoughts?
