If you can spare a little time, please give me some of your quick impressions of my portfolio.
I've posted my work on here in the past, but I don't mean to bore you. I've redone my portfolio, and this version is more or less what I'll be sending off digitally and bringing to interviews.
Overall, it's very clean and well composed. Could you potentially compress the staircase project into two pages? The blank filler page kills the continuity you've created throughout. Another idea would be to make use of the blank page (p. 19) by increasing the size of the exploded diagram (p.17) and moving the details over to the next two pages. The park bench could also be reduced to two pages. All of the images you include are nice, but they don't seem to add anything of value (in my opinion). Pick three (one perspective, and maybe two details) and move on to the next project. You could also reduce the amount of images included w/ The Vermeer Art Gallery project and eliminate last two pages altogether (pp. 38-39). Remember, one good image, is better than several similar ones.
Good Luck
