Filter the sections by removing the school projects....and maybe you could group all the projects on the frontpage?
- SigDesign0
I think I need the most help with filtering work, frankly... you know how when you've been staring at the same thing for so long you don't know what to think of it?

spacing between projects is rather tight - maybe a rule or something to break them apart from eachother outside of the small bit of copy? Even some more white space may work...
I think you could get away with putting everything on one-page (ala one-pager). There's not enough work in the other sections that requires you break it apart.
The bars to the left of the nav feel awkward and clunky... and yes, the letterspacing is funky as well. The nav feels pretty insignificant as well... and if you group everything it will eliminate a need for it altogether. I would reconsider your navigation altogether.
The work itself is nice but none of it is really set up to 'sing' - consider your presentation as well as relationship and proximity to other projects.

i think u really need to prune your web section (ie definitely remove the 4 free isues thing) and maybe put print as first page it seems stronger

still widdling, but added some jquery stuff and made it one page...

Hmm. Your first project is unreadable, your second features a predominant swoosh. Your site's interaction is flawed and sterile.
Need I continue?

I really do hate these minimal websites, I can understand if you are not a web designer but for fuck sake put some effort into the design and layout, your personal website is properly the only time you are going to get to do any design you like, use it.
- The argument can also be made that a minimalist folio site keeps the focus on the work being presented.Continuity
- Week argument if you ask me.pillhead
