Subtract some work. Put only your best stuff up. I didn't know what you wanted me to look at the way it is now. By breaking it down to 5 or 6 projects on that main page and then having a list for the rest, you will get people looking at what you want them to look at.

Also the commacomma thing is kind of weird to me, but only in the sense that it seems tacked on. If you really want to use that, go all out.

hey, thanks, but i just meant to take a look and see what you think of the portfolio (the first pdf link) for some advice.

the website is just a catalogue of projects, small or big, not really for portfolio use, just a continuous record, not really essential for portfolio purposes. but thanks for the advice on that!

Looking at your portfolio, you aren't going to have any problems getting in somewhere. There is some very nice work and its laid out very nicely. The only thing that caught me is that you have alluded to a journey or path on both covers, but don't continue that motif inside. Some sort of graphical cue of a path would completely tie it together. The portfolio definitely shows your interests in pathways/sequences and that would push it over the top.

Question: Why isn't your website designed to be more like your portfolio? It is two completely different styles. Judging from my website stats over the past few weeks in my search for an internship in Norway, people will look at it just as much as your portfolio, maybe even before.

Your portfolio looks really good to me. Specially the graphics part of it, well done. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!

@joshuamings good point on that. I am into the procession and the experiential sequences lately, and it isn't showing inside as much as out. I'll think on how to put that in and weave that together better. and as for the webpage, maybe it does require an overhaul....

oh, and i made an issuu...seems like the preferred intake medium here :D

Very nice clean portfolio, but don't be mad at me if I say you are better graphic / visual artist than an architectural designer. Your visual skill is very impressive, I think you should still consider whether you want to be an architect or a graphic / visual / concept artist.

I totally second that zen maker. Dionysus u still in school, have u been hired yet? You're visual/graphic skills are nice and I like where you're head is at the "cannibal hoodie" is a good look. You just need more technical dwg's. Good luck

Waterloo, meet Carleton.

hey carleton...:p how's ottawa?

@zen maker no worries, no hurt feelings...thanks for the comments! I was originally going towards graphics/visual arts when I was heading to uni...but..parental VETO!! So I wasn't very much into architecture when I began, but my interest in it has been picking up steadily through undergrad..and I am excited to go further now! architecture as an art seems broader than graphics or visuals...I do like the concepts more than reality at the moment, so I am gearing towards theoretical schools...AA, Bartlett, Sci-Arc...

@noneother3 I am heading off to intern in LA for the winter...but I am stuck in Canada waiting visa clearance. Thanks for the feedback...and I have a huge toy collection...lol. and good call on the technicals, I will try and add some more to balance it out!

again. stronger visual artist. photoshoping etc.
there doesn't seem to be the 'rigour' or an architect in the work.
the folio looks quite playful / fun. but lacks a clean, orderliness that architectural work often is.
i wonder whether you lighten up the weight of your body copy text and give it a bit more leading the text doesn't feel as 'tense.' i wonder whether you can have a look at the layout to maybe bring out, or hero better some of the fantastic visual work in there.
and finally, have a look at the alignment consistency of your font and the column width. the bottom right columns are left aligned and the thin left columns are almost justified. i feel the left column is almost a little too narrow in order for the eye to read comfortably.
good luck.

i love the masking you used for the renderings/vignettes/drawings. nice.

i might be experimenting with that sort of presentation on my next project if you don't mind :)

and also, I really like the INK Chapel project, I almost wish there was more information on it

@hematophobia im working on tweaking a new version for print, so i will keep in mind your tips to get it a little more rigorous; I think I been having too much fun! i think you're definitely right on the text columns...was having a lil battle over how much text i can fit. i'll post up again later and see if it's any more convincing.

@seiji331 sure thing...just try and not make it better than mine, okay?
