Hey guys,
Long time follower of this section and i’d like to say thanks to everyone on here for the great feedback and portfolios you guys present, helped me learn a lot on what an ID portfolio should be.
Below is a link to my pdf portfolio on issuu, i’d love some feedback if possible
Thanks in advance

Layout is strong, but almost seems to much like a magazine or a story book. Which can be good or bad. I feel like a lot of the project information is in the text descriptions, the portfolio would be more successful if you did a better job telling the story of each project with just the images.
The drawings are interesting, but showing so many so small makes them hard to focus on and leaves a lack of hierarchy for the eye to focus on.
all projects aside from the chair have a lack of people. People show context to the products and make them much easier to understand.
Hi Hamish,
Had a quick look this morning and this is my initial view:
Would agree with the points from Drawstreet, not sure the catalogue layout really works - but you do lay it out well in this format.
Also I would look to re-scan in your sketches, there is some good ideation here but lost in faded scans/reproductions.
thanks guys, Drawstreet, thanks for the point about context, as soon as i read it i realized, completely slipped my mind. I’m definitely working on learning to tell the story with my images rather than my copy and would appreciate some more feedback when i finish touching up from the points you guys raised
