Hi folks,

I have a fair amount of work on my portfolio site. Too much work, in fact. I'd like to edit out any portfolio pieces that aren't consistent with the general quality.

The problem is that I'm having a really tough time being objective and figuring out which pieces are weaker. I would be super appreciative to anyone who doesn't mind spend a bit of time roughing it out and going through all of my work, and then letting me know which work they advise I pull.

Muchos gracious,

Ivan

What's with the street art. If it isn't yours, why is it in the portfolio?

I like most of the rest, so I don't see why take them down, maybe a better navigation than lightbox would be fine, but the rest is okay. It's okay to be prolific, I think. Plus it shows a variety of skills.

...the street art "isn't mine"... AKA I don't want to get in any legal trouble so I'm covering my arese.... if you follow.

Just what I thought. If you had the balls to disfigure private property, have the balls to take responsibility for it. Don't put it in the portfolio if you don't want people to associate it with your name.

I have nothing against graffiti, mind.

You allow yourself five photos or illustrations MAX in each category. No more than five. Now pick the ones you know are the best. Problem solved!

A lot of your stuff looks good so you can have an additional category labeled "Other work". The rest of your favorites goes in there.

one of my professor's always told me that no one will care enough to go through all of your portfolio pieces. just take a small range of work.
