I was looking at this a little bit earlier and a few things struck me for some reason.

1. I dont like how the prince of persia shots contain the main character, that sort of annoyed me (nitpick)

2. Comparatively, that "Studio" TF2 map is leagues below the rest of your work, take it out.

3. I've played Might and Magic and I have no idea why you took such boring shots of a game with such cool environments!

4. The "other work" section in personal work doesnt contain anything interesting, I would say get rid of it entirely.

Other than that I do like it and the work inside it. Also, its fast, and thats a big plus

Another thing I might add is not all your images have your name, etc on them. Those M&M have crappy IGN on it.

I also agree with what was said above.

Yep, I really like your folio. It's the pure example when simplicity does the job right.

I think it could benefit if you used that typical javascript image viewer some people have been using, like Pomperi's folio. And, you can still open the pic on a new tab with middle click anyway.

Oh and yeah, definitely get new screens for Dark Messiah, even if you didn't worked on art at all!

The portfolio does the job very well. Easy to access, no unneccsarry or distracting stuff in the way, no confusing navigation.

Only thing you could do to further impoove it is to add watermarks with your name and email adress to the pictures.

nice portfolio, does everything it should and looks professional ... there becomes a time when dabbling on minor things beccomes a waste of time. The titles you've worked on says enough about your work for an interview without question, enough said

I would personally request you NOT get an interview based on this level alone:

I hated trying to get the last few .. pearls or balls of light or whatever the fuck it was we were collecting. Drove me insane and I never played the game beyond that point.

Anyway

I mean I loved the game. From what I saw of it. But holy poop I couldn't get past those levels P:

They cant seriously expect you to 1) purchase MS Word or 2) download a pirated copy and copy paste your CV into a word document, just so they can read your CV.

Well, you could always get Open Office and save as .doc, but I agree with both of you, PDF are safe and sound while there are multiple versions of .doc and depending on the version you saved in and the Word version they use to open it, it can be messed up (large spaces pushing your content onto an additional page, etc). Plus PDF includes the fonts in it so I really don't get why use .doc. Maybe it's because they want to be able to add comments on the resume before passing it to somebody else or something?

PDF can be modified too if they have professional acrobat installed. In any case I think its bs to refuse a pdf and ask for a doc. It probably has to do with doc being the standard file type for them and they don't want several types of files in their system or whatever.

Quote from Furyo

Which brings me to the real reason I posted about this: I was asked twice lately to provide a Word version of my CV.

Every place I've applied to so far has asked for .doc

If you want to go for a non pdf type .rtf can be opened by almost anything.
