Hello QBN's. I know I'm sticking my neck out around these parts but I just updated my portfolio for the first time in 10 years. Kindly check out my work and let me know your thoughts.

Hey Rod, what type of design and or direction do you do?
Is it primarily fashion?
- hotroddy0
I do everything, but for the last 6 years I was doing a lot of fashion related stuff at my old place of work.

Work looks good man. The site is nice and clean but looks a little too much like a blog IMHO for a portfolio site. You might consider removing the comments and the sidebar on the detail page.
- You're right! I'm just lazy about looking through wordpress code. I'll remove though since it doesn't workhotroddy
- my thought exactlydbloc
- well, i kinda like it, its simple, has lots of info and looks good, the works looks good therefeel
- maybe just remove tags and comments, don't see why it would be usefull, and yes, wp coding is boringfeel

too bloggy. get rid of anything that makes it look like a blog,... comments/sidebar/tags/search, etc..

work is solid though

In IE (at least metro IE) the titles on the index page are wrapping after each word. Also check your floats as the second line only displays 2 items with an empty space in the first column. I can hardly see your logotype on my tablet. You might want a bit more contrast.

'Links' link doesn't work and 'Search' seems pointless?
The header is nice, but a little big.
What's the point of permalinks?
I would make the background white instead of off-white. The white on off-white makes it look more like a template.
Not sure if that logo is portfolio worthy.

I like how you combined the word 'design' with 'lasagne'!

Your work is solid but all this blog shit surrounding it looks cheap and ephemeral.
You should keep the descriptions more uniform (some are too long, some are missing).
Some images seem blurry / pixelated, first one on the boardgame page for example.- Ephemeral was definitely a word in 2014. I hope it dies in 2015.meffid

Great start.
The text under the thumbnails should be either centred or aligned, not both.
Some information about you would be great.
Get rid of "Latest Posts By admin" on work page.
As said above, looks too much like blog template.

I agree about it looking bloggy.
I want to get into fashion, but all of the job postings say "MUST HAVE FASHION EXPERIENCE OMG LIKE FOR SERIOUS!!!"
Nice work!
