And I say don't use flash because not every browser supports it, and you are going to have issues showing your portfolio on the move (iPhones)

Not sure I'd want to work for someone that used the iPhone to look at portfolios. I mean honestly, what the shit.

lol, that is bullshit and you all know it!

Theres no reason to take the chance. Your main focus should be the images, not how the images are shown

The HR woman looked up my contact details via my website on her iphone when she needed to call me outside office hours.

your contact information is embedded in flash?

That's pretty inventive!

... and a shot in the dark!

Looks like a valuable read, just though I would post it incase anyone else is interested.

That's interesting, thank you!

Seems like it could have been a lot better had they not focused it on a console.

Thingz I am told at Uni

Do most level designers have to keep dev diary's detailing the entire process "so that someone else could pick it up and make the same level from their notes". Know for a fact some of the stuff we have do to is just paper work to keep them happy, but there is always lots of planning to a level at the same time, so trying to work out what the actual facts are on this. Clearly paper layout's etc etc.

Cheers. Good to know.

Don't use fancy flash scrollers to display pictures on your portfolio, it's really annoying. You want potential employers to see how amazing you are in the shortest possible time. They don't want to wait for pictures to open - same goes for not allowing multiple images to be opened in the tabs. Keep it simple.

You don't need to be a jack of all trades. Find one or two things you're really good at (scripting or art or whatever) and really focus on that. By all means learn new things (that's never a bad thing) but keep your skill level high on the things you enjoy doing the most.
