Looking to get some feedback on my portfolio site. I'm moving to Denver soon, and I want to have my site ready to help land a job. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks

in your resume, you may want to update under software from macromedia to adobe - since dreamweaver and flash are now adobe

You have some nice work there, nice site.

Its really nice stuff.
Always find it interesting how a lot of American graphic design has a certain feel to it - I could have guessed it was American with no copy or clues... Don't really get that look in the UK.Only thing I don't like is the term Graphic Art - doesn't sound right to me these days. But I may be talking crap.

^ I agree - Graphic Art sounds more like an unprofessional term IMO. Graphic Design seems to be a more accepted in the field.
But it's the work that counts... (a rose by any other name...)
Nice work, good luck in Denver.

the work is great - I think the site itself could be cleaned up a little bit. Maybe lowering the font size a notch and reducing the distressed BG on titles...not sure...but the work is so nice that it should be the sole focus. nice job

First off, fantastic stuff overall. I just have a few minor notes:
The section below the Allman branding is not loading for me. Anyone else having that issue?
Logos - Good start, but I would be interested in seeing more. It'd be nice to see them in both black and color, as well as on some surfaces or other applications.
Digital Art - This is not a descriptive enough title for this section. First off, my question is "as opposed to...?" All of your work appears to be digital. Further, unless you open it up to other items (which I assume is your intent), make it more specific to the project (Wearable Design, for example). Can this be incorporated into your T-shirt Design section?
Page Layout - Good snapshots. But it'd be nice to be able to see a spread without the camera angles. Mix that up with your other shots, and it's nice.
Like I said, you're off to a solid start. Keep pushing the design of the site, as well as your work, and you'll keep excelling. Nice job.
- I have a button to view spreads in page layout. I guess its not noticeable enough?halfempty

thanks for all the great feedback... one question I have is I know luckyorphan mentioned being able to see spreads without camera angles and well I have a button to view spreads in the info for page layout. Should I make the buttons more obvious? Is anyone else having problems noticing them? thanks.

I like the work itself... but the website feels...
half empty or half full? What's up with the width?
- ********0
the work is alright. but the site feels dated (diagonal stripes, small width).

Hey Matt,
Yeh I missed those buttons, sorry. Of course, in the end, you don't want your potential gigs to miss 'em either. I'd reconsider that design/functionality. Is there a way to make each main area clickable that would launch your previews?
Good stuff, tho.
- Yeah I am trying to figure that out now. Might try a rollover for the main images.halfempty
