Jon, the subject heading was indeed a bit cringeworthy. The website was really weird too. I agree with most of the comments made…HOWEVER, please do not let this side of your personality fade too much, and show at least a little bit of it in your presentations. It is very refreshing in an industry full of designers who take themselves way too seriously. Also, you write very well, so I think the idea of integrating this into your portfolio tastefully is a great idea.
Keep in mind the average industrial designer’s personality is restrained, shy, and introverted. They’re the art kids who were picked on in high school. Not all, of course, but that’s just the average designer that I’ve come across. For this reason, you can dial back the ridiculousness factor by like 80% and still REALLY stand out among the ‘designer archetype’.
I agree with everyone’s ideas about your portfolio work itself, though. It needs a lot of help. Just don’t lose all of that unique personality.
