Forums: Design:

I've put most of my graphic designs from the time here in the battle dome up on my website
M44's Graphics. I'm a bit biased though and not sure if there's any that are really crappy and should be taken off. Also one job I'm applying for wants me to send 5 best so was also wondering some opinions on which 5 those should be. That particular job is for an advertising firm.

This is more of an html crit, but you really ought to define your bg color.
Also, why do you have scrolling content? I'd like to see all the thumbnails at once, and you've got lots of real estate wide open...

That said, I'd include 3 just because it's client work.

and 13, 19, 22, 25, as they seem the most commercially viable.

*my 2 cents

I like a lot of your images, but I feel the typography lets them down

fwiw - I like 2, 7, 13, 23, & 25 the most, but I would polish them before sending

good luck =]

I've been caught out by that background color thing myself; if somebody's got a non-white background defined in Windows it can really fark with the look of your page.

the scrollbar acts wonky in FF on a mac, it shows through the images when i perusing through the larger versions.

thanks and yeah the sites not much i always want to take more time with it but also am always looking for work and just need something decent enough to send out. i'm thinking im gonna do a flash page at some point but who knows. right now i just need 5 graphics i can send out. i posted about the scrollbar and got a respone from Jerkstore but it still didnt work so I dont know why, it seems to work everywhere except FF for Mac. And I'll add a background color.

Why do you guys like 13 for this purpose just curious cause it was one of the two I was thinking were pretty bad and should be taken out completely let alone one of the 5 best.

19: Disobedience
25: Even Flow
3: ArtCenter (cause its client)
13: Dialogue (Not sure why but cause you both said it I'll take your words)

then cause my three favorites are
25: even flow
16: genius comes in many forms
4: drifting away
I'll probably send either 4 or 16 in that last spot

//edit
Just sent with 16 for that last spot... still curious though why 13

Because it's a good, clean layout & composition that shows nice use of text combined with graphics.
