Hello,
As part of my education I'll need to do an internship period. Before I start contacting companies, I thought I'd better get some critique about my website so I can fix any problems there might be (spelling, images, user friendliness etc).
Haven't uploaded that many projects yet, but I'll add more when I get time.
Let me know what you think.

Great stuff, loving the print job for the game.

solid work, you do have some missing or broken links.

overall, pretty nice work. Agree with some of the above comments about grammar.
I would reconsider the way the sub-navigation for the 'work' section is organized. The different job titles seem to run together into an awkward sentence. Maybe try putting a little one of your redcell marks between each as a visual divider.

'CV Stuff: All the boring info thats only usefull for employers or stalkers... in case you are a stalker please don’t look at it, unless you’re an unusually hot stalker, then by all means please do.'
This made me chuckle.
- I would take that out. what if a woman is involved in hiring you? likely will look at that dimly.....twokids

Get rid of the "Multiwinia' project. It hurts your portfolio to have it in there.
"The Vault" stuff probably doesn't belong in there either.

Nice work good site.
I would look at the subnavigation though, The vault should appear on a separate line or in separate space to show its an archive, looks too much like a single project.
And while I am the last person lecture anyone about this, I don't think the tone of copy suits the slickness of the site. I like the tone of it but I don't think it suits this design.
Again though overall really nice, happy intern hunting.

I would disagree with kaonashi here... it shows excellent ability to apply related imagery and rhetorical design elements across multiple applications, both screen and print. I hope he is joking.
Some issues with grammer, the danske reklame has a broken image/weird display issue (not sure which).
Outside of that your portfolio is excellent! Keep it up.

Thanks for all the comments and encouraging words.
Jamal_Jenkins - Sometimes some images doesn't load as they should, I've been looking into this but haven't found a reason why yet. Refresh and they should appear.
baseline_shift - I think you're right about the menu, I'll try adding some kind of divider to make the different projects more clear.
harmsie - I wanted the text not to be too slick and show a little bit of personality as the actual design isn't very personal. Not sure if it works as intended though. You're right about the "The Vault" so I think I'll rename it to "Archive", hopefully that should make it more clear.
Thanks for all the comments, its really helpful. Just a quick question: is it clear enough that you can click the different images to view the next, or does that need to be more clear?
- I didnt notice that you could click for the next image. But the scrolling worked just fine, so i didnt need to.baseline_shift

Jolly Cola is a fucking brilliant project You need to send that to a couple companies and sell it that shit would be perfectly marketable.

I'm not sure what's so "brilliant" about it? He just retraced the old logo. For the packaging, he's taken what Heinz and Molson's have been doing for a few years now.
Nothing original or "brilliant" about it.
- dude, student work. relax. he has a pretty nice folio.baseline_shift
- Its not his mark? That changes things. I thought this was non existing creative.Iggyboo
- not as I wrote its based on their old logo. You can see it here : http://farm3.static.…Nutter
