Let me know what you think of my site and how I can improve it. I am using my site as a way for employers to view my work.

Thank you

in your resume, no period at the end of the objective? - "as a Digital Artist"? - are there other jobs in the field that you're looking for? - either BFA or B.F.A.? - I'd eliminate the Graduation Date line and put December 2000 on the same line as the degree (or just 2000 if that's all that would fit) - I'd think about changing the table structure to avoid the right-aligned cell - that info is separated pretty far right at 1024×768 - hyphenate "texture mapping"? - either pluralize "building" or, better I'd say, "These include..." - I'd look to drop these periods - they're not sentences - "handling" instead of "offload and upload"? - "positioning planes"? - I assume that's Field Artillery, might wanna spell that out, soldier Wink - no need to drop anything on my head Roll eyes - should ya call html a "computer" language rather than "programming"? - closing the containing table on your front page will give you a display in Netscape Wink - I'd say 2dart.htm and 2dart_old.htm work VERY WELL - is that an extra space in the caption of "club vinyl"? - ya see why people don't like me? Wink - the navigation is a little confusing but no big deal - in IE, clicking on "contact" seems to minimize the window - I've seen this before - no big deal, but... - overall, I'd say the site does the job pretty well - it has a nice relaxed look and your artwork is attractive - if you can straighten out a few details, I'd say you have an excellent platform for display - I participate in another forum at http://www.javascriptcity.com/forums/ - one of the members there (gzazJim) is a web designer that I think started out as a graphic artist - he's a terrific guy (real helpful) and lives in AZ - his site is http://www.gzaz.com/ - it might be worth your while to contact him for ideas/advice in your career development - GOOD LUCK!!

Your splash page is too big for an 800 x 600 monitor. There's a horizontal scroll and the whole thing doesn't fit on the page. You should probably try to make it fit a 8x6 since that's the most common resolution. Also set it so that if you click anywhere on the graphic it takes you into the site - I was a little confused about why I had to click on the three pictures to get in.

Once again, you should try to reduce the amount of space around the content area so it will fit better at 8 x 6. Put your resume into the main template and then link to your printable version. I think that would look much better.

Not a bad design overall. I don't know if the black and white colour scheme really works here though. Your content tends to be very colourful and that doesn't balance well with the black and greys I don't think.

Looks great. I love all the work you've done too. Just you might want to brighten up the colors a bit because it looks kinda dark and dreary.
