can somebody please tell me which of these people are working for a big name company? or are they all still trying to get their names heard? because some of those are amazing. I read in Ryan’s that he was offered a full time job in JB, but decided to be a freelancer. Anyone else was offered a job? Thanks

I am also wondering, are you working for Nike or JB right now Yo?

my resume is on my site. I have been at JB for a little over a year. First products just hitting the stores now, more will be coming throughout the summer.

This is New Level Design’s site. Found through founder Tobin Dorn’s coroflot portfolio. Incredible stuff.

This is a high fashion footwear site but her navigation and use of 3D imagery etc is really nice. You can squint your eyes and imagine amazing kicks splashed all over the page. A bit girly i admit but I like it

Good portfolio by a guy who has worked for a lot of brands:

Thought this would be of interest for those of you who have thought about putting your own work into production:

We knew Portland had sophisticated and creative talent. We also knew that Portland lacked a support system that entrepreneurs and small to mid-sized businesses could tap into.
Until now, that is.
You might have a great idea that you manage to get linked to a Cool-Hunter site, but when the orders start pouring in, you’re scrambling to find a manufacturer, and tapping your uncle for start-up cash. We can help. And it doesn’t matter if you’re generating ideas from Portland or Hong Kong. The Center of Excellence is a broad system that spans the globe.
We draw together Portland’s deep creative culture to provide the infrastructure, access and the resource network required to jumpstart your new or existing venture. Emerging businesses in the footwear, active wear, outdoor gear and cycling industries, to name a few, need look no further.

do you know these guys/company? I’ve never heard of them but looks pretty interesting. will check it out.

I read about them in the local paper!
