Hi

I've re-made my Portfolio with CSS and some PHP. Feedback would be great!

Looks decent to me. Code isn't bad, but you could do without so many <br />s.

I would add some alt tags to your button images if I was you.
Just good practice.

Why does Benjamin smoke children?

Megaton Cat · 26-05-2006, 17:26

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm currently 16, and am planning on going into graphic design at college once I'm out of highschool. Is my current level of work good enough for what they're generally looking for? Let alone be able to support myself in the industry?

Thanks again for the feedback, more would be appriciated as always.

To get into a decent college? Yes. Trust me, you'd be surprised at the people that get into art schools (hell, you'd be surprised at some of the people that graduate!).

Why even bother worrying about that at 16? Start asking at 26.

Megaton Cat · 26-05-2006, 18:39

It's never too early to start worrying. Especially when you graduate in 7 months and need to start doing something with your life.

(If not just working freelance and earning abit of income on the side)

To be honest, I dunno how I will be able to stand another 3 bloody years of graphic design school and living with my folks. But if it means it'll get me a job in the field someday, then I guess it's worth it.

I agree, I also dislike the font used in the menu, just my opinion.

The mark-up is decent enough, although as said, its full of br tags :p

About the college thing.....

Yeah, at this level you probably definently would be, you want to see some of the numpties at my college

pgo · 26-05-2006, 19:45

You're 16. You're too young to worry about that stuff. Graduate. Go to college and get a degree. Don't think twice.

b v · 26-05-2006, 20:06

Good job on your step-up to CSS! Some comments: add rollovers to your menu items and such. even something subtle would enhance the feel. GJ on the whole cat theme

Speaking of, what would you recommend as a major/minor? I feel I'm proficient at AS 2.0 and flash design so I'm thinking Interactive/Multimedia Design.

Redge · 26-05-2006, 20:10

Your code doesn't validate on the main page.

Megaton Cat · 26-05-2006, 20:14

Yeah, it validated, but then I edited something, now it doesn't, and I don't really give a damn anymore.

I think its because there is no "alt" tag within the banner.png image tag.

While validation isn't the end-all be-all of anything, it's an excellent tool. And it tells you (usually) just what's wrong with your code.

@b v - It really depends on your interests. If you're into the design side of things, an interactive/multimedia degree or graphic design degree would do you well. GD tends to focus on print-based work, but that doesn't mean you won't learn what you need.

If you're more interested in the development side of things, consider Computer Science maybe.
