Hi, my name is Marco Jackson II. I’m a student at Georgia Piedmont Technical College majoring in Design & Media Technology looking for a mentor and feedback on my portfolio. Your feedback is much appreciated.
First, be honest. In your post above, you say you’re a student looking for a mentor and feedback. Your website says you’re a seasoned professional with 25 years of experience. So which is it? Based on your photo, I’d say you’re a student. If that is the case, be honest on your website.
The website is lacking. There are too many things to go into in detail, but, overall, it feels like something that was thrown together with little thought given to design and communication.
I think you need a new portrait. The tuxedo doesn’t work — at least in my opinion — for a creative professional.
You say you specialize in animation, but there are no animation samples on your website.
I want to end on something positive. I actually like your illustrations, but I would consider them to be more conceptual sketches than final work. The work shows some talent, but you need a portfolio fleshed out with professional, finished work.
My comments, even if they seem harsh, were meant to help. Hope they do so.
