Still dead for me, could be my odd connection, it's stopped me from going back to one of my old forums a while back.

You can host websites on dropbox? Interesting, but if you want something better but still free, I used to use 000webhost, worked well then.

As for the site, looks nice, I'll take a better look when I get back to my computer.

I love the design. The theme has a really nice line through the whole website! I don´t think you should change anything, maybe ad some other patterns to the background, but it´s still good.
As for you mapping work those are really neat to, pl borax is unique and cosy :P
I can´t find any negative really... For me it seems pretty much perfekt as it is very similar to how I have planned a portfolio, though I will never make on :)

The only thing I would suggest is getting someone who speaks English fluently to proof read your actual resume. It has a couple errors from what I saw in my quick look.

Also when I went to the resume page I couldnt use the links to get back to any other page.

Other than that it looks great.

Actually before you do that,Let me just add a little something...

Technically a resume is a list f accomplishments, jobs, education, etc. What you have on the site is more of a "bio"; telling the story of what got you started and what you enjoy doing. Resumes are really brief with no real sentence structure aside from the opening which is normally called the "objective". So there are two options I would look at.

1. Keep what you have written (edited as stated above) and chance the home page link title to "Bio"
2. Write what is a more traditional resume and keep the current link title.

For me the first option makes the most sense. Most people looking at a level design website/portfolio do not want to read about your accomplishments, they want to see them. Thus eliminating the need for a resume in the traditional sense.

Ok now that I have that out of the way, the design is nice and clean and overall looks really good. You obviously have an eye for design. I would say it is strong and effective.

Im thinking of perhaps just changing the title for now perhaps cause I dont really have any accomplishments or jobs and I just started my education a few months ago.

I think it would make more sense to perhaps change it back later when I got more real field experience?

I agree with you completely. But honestly, your work showcases your ability far more than a list of things. People can pad a resume to make themselves look good, but if you have no skill in what you are doing, you can't fake it. You obviously have skill so no worries there...

Thanks, but there must be something that can be improved? Or any ideas to what I can add?

Fewer, slightly larger, screens. Use your three or four best screens from each and either to 2 columns by 2 rows or 3 rows by 1 column. Make it so clicking on "level design" or "art" will take you tyo the link. Put your DOB in a real format, not a format that only your country uses. I have no idea if you were born in october or august (not that I really care).

Do not put your picture or bio on your resume page, create a seperate "about me" that uses that info liek a resume's cover letter would. There are some blogs I rad that have had good tips for writing resumes I'll look em up later.
