I'm considering going to art school and going into graphic design as a career, but I'm not sure if I have potiental or not (regardless of the fact that friends and family and sometimes even strangers think I do... you know though, how friends and families can be a bit biased ) ... so any feedback or critque, or opinions on whether you think I have potiental or not, would be much appreciated!

Here is the link to my website:

If you don't feel like going to the portfolio on my site, I'll make it easy for you, and upload and give you direct links:

Thanks in advance for any feedback, I appreciate it!

P.S. Please just critique my graphic work... I realize my coding is a mess! Never was fond of coding, need to work on improving my skills!

You have the potential, but you still need to hone it. More enhancements
would help somehow.

Hey, back again after 5 weeks in NYC

Anyway, I've been thinking lately, that I might revamp my site and turn it into more of just a portfolio and nothing else... That or get domains and have one specifically for my portfolio, more just business, and one for a more personal site. What do you guys think?

Because I'm looking to find a job doing graphic design, if I can, and if I'm applying for a job, I don't want possibly employeers to be distracted by well... all the other stuff on my site! Do you think I would benefit from having my site be more strictly a portfolio?

You could split it into 2 and have a portfolio and then a blog for everything else

Thanks! But, I don't think I could fit everything else on my site, on a blog though... Cause none of it is really blog type content.

None of mine is blog content by you can manipulate the code to appear as a portfolio that can be easily updated....
