Doombrain: those red x's were supposed to represent loss/damage. You can see them next to the birds, ice caps etc..

Dave: nope, but thats exactly what I intend to do next week before I put it up "properly" live. I have shitloads more stuff I could put in and theres a few i'm unsure about. If you have any doubts about any of them, let me know... if I agree, i'll put them in the firing line.

I'm with Doombrain on the GP ads... I like the idea, but they're not the strongest pieces you put up. I do like the first one because the Xs over the birds are really clear, but not the second so much. I think having choices for a client liked someone mentioned is ideal, but you should only include the absolute strongest works you've created in your portfolio.

The color photo at the end doesn't fit with the otherwise black and white pieces you included. I suppose it fits next to the last piece with the gnarled wires and mesh, but not so well in between two black and white photos. With photography you want to create some kind of transition between photos in a sequence, but that one is really abrupt (which is good, but not when mixing bw/color). You might want to consider nuking the color all together or throwing in a few more to balance it out.

My two cents on editing \o/

Yep I agree with the colour photo thing. I like the photo, but its a little out of place.. i'll think of a workaround for that.

The GP ads stay though. All my uni tutors + design friends dug those, plus I like the aesthetic myself :)

I think i'm gonna drop the 4 Designers one though. It looks a bit dated to me now. Maybe the flyers too.
