Good work first of all.
Now... it drives me insane that I can't see any colour. It's kinda uninviting. Makes me feel like the brightness of my monitor is screwed up. It's a lil of a let down that I can't see any previews of the colour palettes used for each piece.
The other thing is that the actual work is way way better as a whole then the thumbnails. The way they are cropped is not that great imo.
my 2 ameros...
- I agree with all except the crops, I think the crops are done quite well.adamrobertson
- Im really going for a neutral look, because my work is often driven by color. I like the contrast between the two. maybe its too sparse, thoughbaseline_shift
- sparse though... i'll look at some different options.baseline_shift

Worked in some suggestions. Lightened it a bit, simplified some type, etc. Tried to make the thumbs more 'enticing'....
Thoughts?

excellent work in your portfolio!

I like Cargofolio template much better than the Indexhibit template.

Previous and Next links are overrated. Just stack things vertically. Also, is this merely a portfolio or do you do freelance regularly? If the former, I'd loose the logo all together. Branding a portfolio pisses me right off. Otherwise, really nice work.
- Both, really. Im starting a job hunt soon, but I do freelance semi-regularly. (And Im pushing to do more.)baseline_shift
- oh, and thanks!baseline_shift

problem with this cargofile template is... that many people don´t get that they are able to click on next/previous image.. they just click on the thumbs.
me as well
- Riiiight. Prob should make the "previous, next" part bolder or darkerbaseline_shift

The only thing I would change is your name. I don't like your name. Other than that, I like your layout.
- hahaha. Hows Gerald Lee Phibbins strike you?baseline_shift

I like that you included a mechanical to accompany one of your signage projects.
- Thanks. I should add one to the other EGD package.baseline_shift

I thought it was very nice. The description text seems so small to me though, but I guess that's cargfolio. THe lines behind make hard to read. Overall it's nice though.

loose the diagaonal lines
the green is a bit too dark
the grey looks not so convenient
why resize the menu point?
Headlines are to big for my taste (would it not look better in black?)
resume & elswhere is brighter, why? place it a bit more away from the rest and in the same styleI would rethink your logo... 3 lines doesn´t work
- i will consider all of these. care to elaborate on the inconvenient grey?baseline_shift
- I would make it much brighter, but first you need the loose the white parts, otherwise it will become unreadableMau
- right. Part of what i was going for here was "large bold type" ...baseline_shift
- ...that was still light due to low contrast. DOesnt work for ya?baseline_shift
- you should try it.. I would´t you that much diff. type sizes- 2 are enough. 1 for the menu and 1 for headlines,Mau
- for the rest I would work with boldMau
- for next/previous for active menu pointMau
- word. Ill look into this. thnxbaseline_shift

Some of you obviously don't know the effects of color
- or kolor?baseline_shift
- cheersKolor
- or colourliveforever
- Kolor is better, less letters, less is more, minimalism, zen, art by subtractionKolor
- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...liveforever
- now that's rudeKolor
- haha only kidding
you will prob understand why in the near future :)liveforever - color has less lines than kolor. colour has more class.Amicus
