Looking for some input on my portfolio

[rodekill]

Hey all,
I was recently forced to run away from my last employment screaming, because of lack of getting paid, so I now find myself in the scary position of having bills to pay and -700$ in my bank account.
Anyways, I spent a good portion of the weekend fixing up my portfolio (I'm a graphic designer, if you didn't know) and now I'd like to get some outside points of view.
There was some stuff I wanted to put in, but haven't had a chance yet, and there's some stuff in there that may not make the cut in the long run (the game screens, for example, which are there because I just sent this off to UBI soft. Cross your fingers on that one guys.), but I think it gives a good overall impression of what I'm capable of.

PS: Rode Kill stuff most of you have never seen! Whee!

Looks strong, I have an ND in Graphics, and theres some solid stuff there, your web design is particularly good. I would recommend adding some more 'organic' art (sketches, illustrations etc) as well as some hand drawn work, just to balance it out.

Really nice stuff in that one, especially those Rode Kill screens! :o ( <--- ugly smiley )

Overall it's very professional and clean looking, hope you'll get a job with it

Looks realy good, I think I found a typo, just thought you might like to know since noone else noticed...

I noticed, but it's a bit too late for him to correct it if he's already sent it off...

Hey, good luck man. It's hard to get a solid footing in the graphic design industry I'm told because of the massive amount of people who talk up their mediocre photoshopping skills. Your portfolio shows clearly that you aren't one of those people.

The only thing I would suggest would be to not include so much of your game art, since it's aimed at advertising. Organic additions would be a nice compliment to your other pieces too.

Thanks everyone.
I've just received an offer for a small job. Doesn't pay much, but it's enough to cover the bills, and I made the guy fully aware that I'm going to keep looking in the meantime.

Speaking of Graphic Design, i'm awaiting an interview for a course. I'm pretty sure i'll get in, although apparently there have been a laods of applications for it. So good luck to me too!

Haven't seen the portfolio yet, (though I'd like to) because I have an old version of Acrobat that can't support any PDF's made by Shawno.

But I'll try it on the other PC asap.

Best of luck with the job offers, Rodey!
