As someone who got only distinctions in my Graphic Design course and is now studying Visual Communications for two years, I think that's pretty cool.
The choice of colors, the layout and the type are all well done. Don't quite understand what the pink heart is meant to communicate, but I suppose it is just a symbol of funkiness? It also uses the colors used in the "web design" type. overall I like it, but I think you could do better.
but.. things I don't like about the heart:
it jumps positions from page to page
the splatters look bitmapped whereas the heart looks vector-ish.
See the splatter running down from the very bottom of it? now look at the one to the right of that. it doesn't quite connect.
Maybe I bit too prominent? it is pretty big on every page, it makes me think it's your logo.
I really want to hear the reasoning behind it, because I'm sure you could come up with a logo that communicates a lot more effectively and does not call your character into question- at least, for some people. What's really important is that your potential clients like it.
Personally, I would have made the world, letter and phone symbols much less complicated- just simplified line drawings. They look like you poached them from google images. And so what if you really can create a detailed, shaded illustration of one of those fax/phone machines? It's way too small to show the detail anyway. Oh yeah, and I saw that letter illustration on one of your web designs, you re-user!
It's funny that I recently designed my site and I used very similar diagonal bars with type on them for the links, only they were on the side. Speaking of diagonal.. why is the diagonal type in the main site on a different angle than the links? That really annoyed me.
How come one can't return to the front page once you click on any of the other links? (once again, funnily enough this is the same on my page, but there is a lot less on my front page) why not make the "funk" type at the top a link back to the front?
The email link at the bottom of the first page isn't linked. the "funk new media" also looks like something you can click on, but you can't.
Your portfolio of work is really impressive. Kudos to you
All the above bitching is pretty insignificant compared to the biggest problem here. Which is that only once I got to the testimonials page did I know for sure what you actually _do_, and this is something that needs to be INSTANTLY clear on the front page.
