I've been looking at my own work for far far too long... and decided to throw it the wolves (no offense, QBN'rs) and see what's left afterwards. I am going to be on the market soon enough and need to go through and sharpen everything up.
Bon appetit! http://krop.com/nicholascryder/
ps - project overviews are pending...

That intro text is really horrendous. At the very, very least add some commas to help your readers a little.
The work is fairly nice... although I read the 'Griz' logo as 'Ghiz'.

when exactly will you be on the market, and i know this may be in your krop. but what are your focuses?
- May 15th. I am ICD, and like doing integrated work for just about any brand willing to be brave.UKV

great work, I would re-arrange the products
projects 3,4,5,6 then 1,2 - they seem to have a bigger impact

Some really nice work there :)
Also good to see a digital dude kicking around some print work too! These days so many people are one or the other and the strength is in an integrated approach..

Lovely work, I was admiring your portfolio a few weeks ago.
I think you've got a bit too much in it now, or maybe the format is working against you. Some of your projects are presented a bit blandly and with too many pieces. The Mountain Madness website for example has too many variations on the same page, and they are all straight on flat images. You'd be better off cropping in on some key features, and editing down the number of images in the stack. Carry this line of thinking through to your other projects.
If you're interested in integrated work, consider putting that at the top of the page. The Lifewise, First Ascent, Wetsely Richards and SAM projects all really jump out at me. I think the other stuff may even be a bit of a distraction (though it's all quality).
Love that cartoon of the bears, funny stuff!
- great feedback, thanks. funny how the details slip away when you look at stuff too long.UKV

Great work totally let down by you introductory words, please rewrite and do your work justice!

jesus christ.. seriously, it cannot be echoed enough, change that intro, at least try and hide how shallow the work is by eluding to the fact that you may not be equally as shallow...
- < wolf in wolves clothing..neue75_bold
- Nah... I'd rather be honest about my shallowness. Plenty of other folks have waxing poetic about themselves down pat.UKV

I would put the Life Wise stuff first. It's your best, in my opinion, and I really really love it.
- agree. the first thing was not as impressive as a lot of other stuff in thereProjectile
- dMullins0
I agreeāget rid of the intro, or make it better.
