WEB - Your web designs seems to be very similar, both really text heavy. In this age great software and the freedom to create whatever you can imagine on the web, you'd probabally want to use some more different creative layouts, graphics, and/or photos...espically with a media company's site. Def. make a link to the finished published site.
PRINT- Only 2 projects/categories in the print section?!? This may not be what you are looking for a position in, but good and extensive print examples can demonstrate; working typography knowledge, color theory, heirachy understanding, layout/grid usage, information design, photography, and a slew of other essential design elements that employers look for.
OVERALL - Everything designed here seems to carry the same aesthetic, a grey and dark look. If this is your personal style, great, but try and leave that look where it belongs. My point, don't utilize your personal look when designing for a client. 9 times out of 10 it wont fit with their message.
(Front Page) Perhaps a direct parallel between your title typeface reflection and the title grass graphic would increase visual interest, just a quick thought.
When designing a portfolio, remember to include your best work. Let 'uncompleted pieces' go, employers don't want to see what could have been, rather works that have been pushed to completion from concept to production.
Perhaps think about including some ideation sketches, early concepts that built up to your final designs. Shows how you came to your final design decisions.
Think about personalizing your 'send message' button on your contact page. It's the little things that count. I know it's not complete yet, but these would be all things to consider when pushing this site to completion.
Nice work, can't wait to see the finished product!
