    Advice & Oppinions

    logo… i do like the balance with the mirrored curve at each end, but for me the word design holds too much weight, try playing with colour combinations to throw the emphasis the other way. kerning… on the whole good, couple of slight holes you need to close, see if you can spot them.

    New Portfolio Website

    Not meaning to sound harsh, but this is critique… This is supposed to be your showcase of yourself to anyone that wants to view it, the very best you can do to sell your skills as a designer and as the right man for the job, It's not doing either. Take a look at Alexarts Portfolio of the...

    Character Design In illustrator

    take a look at this link, it a pic of angelina jolie scowling from the movie 'wanted'. Im guessing this is the look you were after? take notice of the shapes on her face, escpecially those of her eyes, eye brows and cheekbones, but dont over emphasise the weight of the furrows between her brows...

    New website, feedback please needed!

    First thing that struck me in one word is busy, but thats not necessarily a bad thing in this case if the message you want to get across is the free thing. As a viewer I am left a little lost wondering what I need to do on the site, you could try making it a little clearer where tenants and...

    Getting into the work place.

    why not find a local agency you like the look of and offer to work for them for free for a month if you can? Also dont always rely on an electronic portfolio, I love it when i have interviews who bring a touchy feely portfolio
