    Critique my portfolio

    Hello everyone

    Here is my current portfolio. It needs some updating and I have trouble deciding what are some of my best pieces, so they are changing constantly. I'm hoping to get some constructive feedback from you all on just the logo design and print design, since the website is a template. ( I need to learn web design! )

    Thanks!
    Stephanie

    Nice work! I really like the majority of your logos, especially Mafia.org, PicCrop, another, & Cronoz. Your print materials are good too, but I'd like to see even more examples/variety.

    I know you mentioned your website is from a template, but I just wanted to say that I like how your landing page offers visitors the option to view the site in Flash or HTML. I like the logo for your site, too!

    Thank you all for the feedback. Are there any suggestions of any designs to take out that aren't strong enough, or anything you think I should add to my portfolio?

    Very nice portfolio! I really love the simplicity and subtle quirkiness of your logos. You have a definite style (which I LOVE), and my only real critique would be to try and show a little more variety in your style, to open up to a broader clientele... absolutely love it, though! And, your own logo is pretty cool, too.

    I went back and looked some more - and wanted to take back my comment about variety, I see it now... so my only suggestion now would be to pepper in some of the logos from your "portfolio" section of the website into the slide show. I'm guessing other people might make the same mistake I did and just watch the slideshow, not realizing that the portfolio had different logo examples in it.

    You're a very talented designer, simple yet well-planned... good job.

    Thanks Brandy for the feedback... very nice of you! I think I do need to add a bit more variety in style in portfolio, I think you were right to begin with. I also definitely need to do more in the way of letterhead/stationary projects. Sometimes I get "stuck" when trying to creating a new and inventive stationary package that doesn't look like all the others I have already done. I'm planning on ordering a new design book for design inspiration. Anyway, thanks again for the critique. I will have to see your portfolio and review it now

    Hello glyphica,
    I really like your site, it is refreshing and delicate.

    Just one question, are all your logos for actual clients or many of them are designed just for the portfolio? btw: In any case, they are absolutly lovely ...

    Best regards,

    Some minor misalignments. Add pagelinks in your thumbview list so people can easily estimate how much there really is. Split the portfolio directly to print/logo designs and put them to navbar - it's kinda wierd to go up and then choose. Make thumbs bigger.
    ... And disabling right-click-save and bookmarking is really-really ... khm ... stupid - it's the internet, you want to be easlily accessible, right? :P

    Refreshing colours and superbly delicate company logo you have btw.

    I really liked the splash or starting page, nice color, logo is nice -reminded me of color-blinding test - some of your logos were stunning and blew me off and i see you are managing your site n a very smooth and yet pro way. learned alot from your creativity.

    note: i agree with sach about the pop up, try to think in it this way, "one browser will hold all of me much more better than throwing me to another"

    I love your style. I love the fact you focus on the name of the company more than the graphics.

    your startpage is a little bit confusing. the flash and html button is too small. and why is the logo there a button when it links to itself??
