very nice start phil, my site wasn\'t that good when i was a sophomore.  that kicks ass that they\'re teaching you table-less design right off the bat, they sure didn\'t do that when I was in college!

I would add some depth to your header (make the text "pop out" more) and clean up the lines (the angled sides need anti-aliasing).

You can check my old-school site here for resume ideas: http://scottydesigns.bluesurfdesigns.com

it is out of date since I got my job but I pretty much based my site & resume around what others have done, so take a look at what\'s out there.

Add more content as others have said.  It doesn\'t even have to be that great, just lets people know that you\'re busy and have some experience.  Good luck with your internship, they are pretty much the only way to get a job in this industry.



Thanks for the site.

Issue I have with adding more content is that I hear the exact opposite from the professors.  Unless its spectacular don\'t add it.  As they put it, its better to look like you do A work 100% of the time then to have a lot of work that is hit or miss.  I\'ll be getting some feedback from my prof today so I\'ll probably be making some changes by the end of the day.

I dig it. I would move the main header in off the left edge of the screen. The letter P is cut off. I\'d put the black background all the way to the left of the screen too for readability.
 
I might try to re design it a bit so you don\'t have to scroll from side to side, but other than that I dig it. Cool drawings, too. Like the photo of the building too.

I know it doesn\'t work at all in IE and I haven\'t gotten around to figuring out why.

Well it\'s an issue and since most people still use IE, it would be a good idea to fix the design.

No, I didn\'t use the transform option, I just got stingy with how many colors the .gif was allowed to use. Bad idea.  Its next on my list of things to fix.  I got a lot of feedback from my classmates and professor so things will be changing shortly.

First off, you need to learn how to spell Photography.


I like the style of your resume, but it sure is white.  Under serving assistant, you don\'t need to say you bussed tables.  What does that mean?  Took care of any other needs?  Like say the chef needs more beens, you go and get him beens?  

Always remember, it\'s not what you did, it\'s what you say you did.  Until of course you\'ve done something.

To be honest, what job would you be going for that you would be needing a resume?  

I really don\'t know much about you from the resume.  Usually a resume is used to quickly see if someone is worth meeting.  To give the interviewer things to ask you questions about.

Since you don\'t have much to say, why don\'t you tell me what you excelled in during your Architecture classes?  Or your design classes.

I haven\'t used mine in forever, but you can see how I gave the interviewer plenty of things that he could ask me about

That would be "beans"...

And it looks like he spelled "Photography" right on his page. Don\'t know what you mean.

Its an internship to be a webmonkey :shy:.  At least until I have more I can talk about in the field.  Unfortunately I only have two quarters worth of work in my major.  I can bullshit, but the firms will call me out on it.  My college requires that we co-op (intern) every other quarter.  They basically spoon feed us a job the first go around but I\'d still like something that I can show and not necessarily be stuck writing HTML/CSS all day.  By our senior year we start taking jobs at design firms doing more than just the grunt work but I have to start somewhere.

Oh and where did I spell photography wrong on my site?  It elludes me and I\'m sure I\'m just staring at it too hard.

You have great artwork and yet you talk about giving bread to customers at Magianos.

Have you been in any art shows?

Just fyi, it looks fine in IE7.  IE6 down has a broken rendering engine.  7 ain\'t perfect but it handles basic CSS much better
