nice work, although the spreads are a bit small – hard to get into the details.
and remove/reword this copy under your logos:
"Recent logos designed. Some successful, some not"
no need to shoot yourself down – if you're proud of the work, talk them up. don't be apologetic! if some of them weren't approved, just say 'recent logo projects', and talk through why they did or didn't make the cut if you're asked at an interview.

thanks :)
im not so sure I want my work any larger size in there, then it makes the interview a bit boring - seeing the same stuff, thought this would be better just giving a preview first etc.

yeah, I wouldn't say it's critical, but it may be the difference between getting the interview in the first place or not – you have so few chances to make an impression. anyway, I wouldn't worry about it – just something to consider.

"Various Logos & Identities
Recent logos designed. Some successful, some not. "Save that part for the interview to talk about unsucessful work if they ask, otherwise keep your good work up, never feel obligated to show anything.

Definitely make the layout of the work more interesting or maybe even switch up the order, the first 5 of 6 pieces are all similar then the stuff at the bottom is pretty dope. I understand grouping but they are boring but thats just my opinion... good luck dude

Was this posted here before? Because I remember the last version if it was, and this is GREATLY improved on how it used to be.

Your title images are displaying at a slightly smaller size than they are created at.
ie. anthonyearp.gif is created at 182 x 35 and is written to display at 173 x 33

I'd make the entire background black or have the borders white.

i really dont like how your images dont fill out the maximum room in the black areas.
the fonts are really tiny and you have more room to play with so make it bigger.
ill look at it more but that just first glance.

"facet" ~ "fluid" atthe bottom are the most dominant visuals that stand out on the page more than everything cept 1 thing...
your horizontal white lines are the utmost dominant anything on the page. my eyes are leaning toward the lines over the work.
the fonts fail in comparison to the sheer brightness of the horizontl lines that it get to be distracting making me close the page almost instantly and not ever even finishing reading the verbage or clicking the links.
not to say that how it happened, but it did happen.
i say make the lines a lower hue from bright white or raise the balance of the colour and boldness of the fonts to adjust that and thus keep the user on your page and click over closing and leaving and not going back.
good luck.

i wish i could see the images larger or that i could click on them for a larger view. i understand that you do not want to show it larger, but a lot of info is lost when the image is shrunk down to that sizing.
in the very top you state that you will show new work, but your images are so small that i havent really seen the current work to now see new work.
blast the visitor with visuals of your work, keep them excitied to see "what's next" "the holy wow factor!!!"
instead of keeping the images so tiny, show them full size but crop them to fit the box area you have, keep the visitor guessing, make them think...
good luck!!
