need some advice on my portfolio organization

[that mike guy]

so ya,

I just redid my site and I really need some advice on how to organize my portfolio section.

my problem is the examples of my work are so broad, im having difficulty grouping them.

right now if you go to my site and click on galleries, you'll see they're seperated in science/medicine, restaurant/hospitality...etc..

So does this work? or for the sections should i try something like:
advertising/marketing
illustration
fine art..etc....

I was thinking this way would be good also, but some illustration work kinda falls into advertsing/marketing....some fine art falls under illustration.....everything overlaps, so its kinda hard....

Anyone have any good ideas?

another question....anything there i should get rid of? I know i still dont have much there but think anything should be removed?

thanks....

first off, nice stuff! :) i'm loving your illustrations.

most of the portfolios i've seen present their work in one of two ways: by client or by type of work (identity, web/multimedia, print). yours seems to be a mishmash of the two.

Yah I would work on the way you have it catagorized.
Great work though.
On some pieces it gets a little repetative, I would only have your best work in there, and take out some of the things that seem to be repeating over and over.

You can always ad, is this all the work you have that would be available for your website?
I would put it in catagories that fit more
PRINT-identity, stationery,logos-brochures-advertisments,etc.
WEB-websites-largewebsites-flash-animation, etc.
MULTIMEDIA-sales presentations-educational presentations-informational, etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL-point of purchase-signs-etc.

catagories will depend more on what type of work you have, but put extra in there anyways for when you get jobs that fit that topic, or work on made up stuff to ad to your portfolio.
