Recently, i have done some updates in my portfolio. And I would like to have some reviews and comments from you concerning the layout design, theme and consistency of the components inside in terms of presentation styles and graphics used.

Waiting for your comments :)

Can you explain who the target audience is? Schools, prospective employers, etc.

Actually I want to apply for an internship, so I am targeting employers.

my quick thoughts:

-change the front image.. needs to be something with better craft if it is going to be a model (i.e. something without hot glue hanging off of it.)

-initial read is that your graphics are overpowering your work. they're a bit much. tone them down a bit and let the work stand out more.

- i like the sketches. if i were you i would show more work like that; it begins to get at your personality more than all the digital work.

-the pages are over crowded. the sketches, for example: feature one to two per page, not four. i found the portfolio overall disorienting.

-first black spread doesn't fit, but i think it does speak successfully to what i said above^

-don't quote yourself. it's arrogant and strange (first pages). i would also remove your bio.. you already have a resume. let your experience speak for itself. the bio again feels arrogant; you're looking for an internship, i would assume you're not quote-worthy or have that interesting of a story yet.
