Nice work.
The blog style design of the website is so over, redesign the site.

lots of great work. I'd pair it back significantly though. Keep your portfolio short and sweet with the absolute best work across a range of styles an clients. If you're worried that it's not going to show all of your dimensions, you can always show extra at a meeting. (or hide other stuff under a 'more like this' sort of link) Pulling out a bunch of solid work that's fresh for the viewer can be a good strategy to keep a meeting exciting.

wow..for such diversity it seems to flow quite well...
are you freelance?
I'm a photographer who is new to SF....always down for a collaboration- Hey Welcome to SF. I just moved here last June. So far it's good but kind of cold. no full time. yeah i love to do some collab work too. I am aiming to do more arts related work rather than agency.
Thanks. i try to have a style but not everything works out. haha

EDVIN! Nice update, really dig the Nike stuff. I'd lose some of your older stuff at the bottom, the work you've done in the last couple years has far exceeded it!
I emailed you back the other day. Still thinking about moving to Europe/UK?
- hey Andrew. Yeah maybe next year. Cool thanks! Yeah i got your email. been busy working on this haha.piperboytoy

I like it. Good site, good work, and you're from Canada.

Great diversity of work. I agree with most of the comments previous. Wish some of the appeal of the header would make its way through the site.
Curious, did you actually complete the Jostens work 0107? My company worked with them in late 07 and we never heard mention of previous work.
- thanks. maybe i'll tweak the typography a bit to carry the consistancy. Hmm. the josten work was done at blast. I had no idea what happened. They just asked for designs. but i didn't know what happened afterwards.piperboytoy
- we were asked to give them designs but i never found out what happened. where you guys asked to design? I kept checking the jostens site and it never seemed to changed.piperboytoy
- We also were given the highschool segment to design, but project got canned do to internal mumbo.ChankD

Like neue says, that header section is gorgeous.
Like Jersey says - less work might be more.
Like Ian says - links might be a bit inscrutableLike Nairn says - I dislike the "Have done branding.." sub header text - that doesn't read well - "who or what have?". Also, I find the "made in Canada" thing distracting - you're based in California, right? Where are your clients expecting you to be from? I wish there was a bit more to the footer - even if it is just a duplication, content-wise, of what you have at the top. I'd drop those Nike concept visuals as well - sorry, I think they look quite amateur and don't (at first glance) appear to bear any relation to the site itself. You don't have a photo of the Visa Signature lounge snow thing to use? It's a bit hard to appreciate in its flat, illustrated form.
Good job, man.
- great feedback, thanks. i'll definitely make some changes.
I don't have any shots of the visa thing. i went home for xmas and never go to see it at westfield. i do have a few shots of it in our office but they were taken with my crappy iiphone camera. :(piperboytoy - Disagree about the Nike comment. Leave it in, CD's shit themselves over anything Nike.Andrew_D
- great feedback, thanks. i'll definitely make some changes.

v. nice site structure/design... the dot letterforms look slightly awkward to me... such a variety of work it's hard to make it hold together as a graphic artifact without looking sloppy...
- but I always think that about portfolios with websiteshallelujah

I like the work, but you need a photo. It could put people off.
- I see what you did there :)fodcj
- I know, I'm very sharp.cosmicEntity

The site could use a lot of trimming. On top of that, I've never enjoyed one page portfolios. Basically I get bored and close the window before I finish viewing the work.
Why is your client list set in such large type? I'm happy you've worked with all these people, but man, at the same time I don't care that much...
- This from the guy who's site is right aligned and basically functions quite similar.Andrew_D
- I'm not really seeing the similarities. Sorry...skwiotsmith
