Hmmm, there is some interesting works on there. But the standard needs a tad inmproving if you ask me. Also you should realy create a better portfolio.

I thought that you were simply looking for remarks on the site as a whole and not individual pieces. If you would like that though, here it goes...
I would say that you definitely know your way around Illustrator ( or whatever vector program you use). I really like the Illustration of the inside of the Mini, it's great. I also like the 'Echale Salsita' logo.
I am not really feeling some of the others though, for instance, I would have used a different font for the 'dj plug' logo as 'dj' looks like 'di' (unless that's how it's supposed to read, then disregard). Also, with the 'Star Wreck' logo being on the white background, the 'w' kind of gets lost.
Looking at the site overall, my previous comment still stands and you must give it a real layout. I don't know how hard they evaluate you when you submit to join the team as I have yet to do so, but I can imagine that the overall impression will matter. With that said, it might be nice to also include more than just logos. I know you have the magizine comps and the menu and the illustration but I think it could only help you to include more variety.

I dunno, haven't you won a few contests here??? IMHO, you wouldn't have too much trouble getting on the team. Your designs are pretty good. The only thing, like the others said, is maybe you should make a new portfolio. Other than that go for it, and if for some odd reason you don't make it on the team, try again sometime in the near future.

Thank you guys, that's what I was looking for!!!!
eruct:
1- Yes, I love Illustrator
2- Ok, I'll revamp the logos and submit some layout
3- Forget about the site I know is really crappy, mine is still in progress
nyxxie: Yes I have won a few contest and I guess I was too desperate to get on the team (there're so many interesting logo contests).
I used to live in the Caribbean and a tropical storm ruined my computer and physical portfolio and the stuff I could save is not "up to date". Anyways I won't give up.
As soon as I get my site up and running I'll try again for the team.
Thank you all for your constructive criticism!!

I have decided to look at your work now, I thought bad portfolio must mean bad designer. I think I may have been a bit wrong on this prospect. Some of the designs are realy nice. One thing though, I wouldn't just have logo's on there. You need a variety of stuff e.g. web design. I know you'll probably say you have a few magazine covers, they are good but you should catagorize them. I also think that in your descriptions you will need to say something about it, i.e if you made it for a contest say if you won or your position otherwise people will think they are all winning designs even though they may not be. It is better to be honest.
