    Review my portfolio work

    Don't much like the voice speaking soon as you get to the site. While with some testing it might prove to be a good way to get people to stay a little longer the first time they come to the site, they are not going to want to here that every time they go; in fact it might stop them going!

    Looking for logo critique

    The spacing between the PC look tight compared to the other letters, the spacing between them looks big this could be because of the shape of the e. I am not sure about eh 3D box, it does not sit right for me; maybe the box and the question mark need to be separated from the rest of the logo!?

    How do i get a job in design?

    Best thing to do is take an internship with the best design company you can get into. They wont pay (so you need to have money stashed away) you but you will get so much from it. Also at the end if they like you then they might offer you a job.

    15" or 17"

    Get the 15" the 17" is way to big to carry around. In fact you will find if you take the 15" every where you will wish you went for the 13". Just get the 24" monitors at all office and home locations. Dell monitors are good value for money.

    Is Design respected?

    It is an issue. But it must be one of education. To play with your example, people now use plumbers because they know if they don’t their house will get flooded. They use a sparky because if they try to do it themselves they could die. But that is something they have learned in time. With...

    Codes and Design

    @ graphicrabbitstudios, If you are serious about learning to code then I strongly suggest you get yourself on a beginners course at a local collage. Find out what courses your local college has and post links back here. I can tell you which one sounds best. I tried to learn on my own back...

    Worst design site ever!

    What a site, there is sure to be a country were you can get shot for having such a site. I am not sure about his price? Pricing starting from £40 including everything sounds like a money spinner. "Everything you need to get started on the web from only £40 this includes domain & hosting...

    iPad as a graphics portfolio? Am I crazy?

    Nice idea, but are you buying an ipad just for that reason? I just use the laptop, yes its not as nice as an ipad but does the job and I don't have to fork out £500.
