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

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

jesus, edvin, tis been years!
- barbara0
yay cdn! well, good work. (i'm looking towards making a move to europe next year as well.)
- Andrew_D0
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

piperboytoy nice web work. I especially like the site for arthur.

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.

sorry i was getting ready for bed. :(
i wonder if i should take out stuff? i like my old work more but trying to show newer work.
- neue75_bold0
love the overall structure.. the top of the page is beautiful, nice type, grid, etc.. the work is not totally my thing, but it is well done.. Agree that it might be too much..
what about having a nav that gives you the ability to only show either 'web' 'identity' or 'illustration' at one time?
- piperboytoy0
thanks. I usually put my illustrations on my other site. http://www.piperboy.com. i think I might just take the illustrations out and put only web related stuff there.
I am going to redo this eventually but still keeping the one page thing and i will try to separate the work with a nav. thanks for your feedback- that's right, I thought you had another site..neue75_bold
- yeah i need to change that too. kind of oldpiperboytoy
- Leigh0
i think some projects could be presented little better... for example Nokia experience center, it's all a bit too small to see maybe show just one or two larger screens?.
Overall though a good solid mixture of work.
- do you not have a better image of CANADAGOES WILD ??
Leigh - yeah it links to the site. but the link is a tiny txt link. i will probably like with the image. thankspiperboytoy
- do you not have a better image of CANADAGOES WILD ??
- piperboytoy0
thanks leigh. yeah i might add a javascript to show a bigger screen.

I like the work, some good stuff in there. I would consider changing the identites section though, looks like you've added your own identity to pad it out, put another one in there to show some range.
The links to the active sites are very subtle, took me ages to realise that you could click through to them, perhaps make the images link to the sites too, I tried clicking on them several times and thought maybe it was all just concept work or unfinished until I saw the wee red link.
Also, you start with a list of companies rather than work, perhaps move it or link up the company name with work you've done for them so when you click it brings you to the relevant work?
All minor quibbles mind, so feel free to tell me to bugger off.
- thanks for your suggestion. i'll probably link the work to the site. and put the client names on the work as well. those are small easy fixes, it'll do for now until i have time to redo the entire thing. thanks againpiperboytoy

I like the work, but you need a photo. It could put people off.
