I think almost anyone would have a hard time getting a position at any serious design company without going to some art college, competition is pretty fierce these days, unless they had some seriously outstanding credentials to make up for it

You know, I put that little reflection thing under it and thought to myself, that isn't really good but I felt it was so empty alone I wasn't sure. I did that last, it was late and I probably put less effort into it than I should have. Thanks for your advice.
In reference to the college thing:
I couldn't really afford college back when I got out of school.
I was a bit of a douche in school regarding schoolwork, in hindsight I should have tried but I was a dumb teenager who thought he knew about life.
That being said, I wasn't getting any scholarships.
I went to a vocational school for a couple of years and took commercial art and web design. The way things are now, I couldn't really afford to pay for classes. I really need to work full time, too many bills, problems. I would love to if I could though.
I didn't post this to be like hey I am the shit right?!?! I honestly just wanted to know if you guys thought this would look ok in a portfolio. I have a lot of respect for everyone here. A lot of you are successful and treat me very well on the boards. I knew you guys are knowledgeable and would be honest. If you ask your real life friends they will just say hey it looks good, great job, etc., they don't really tell you what you need to hear.
Overall, I got some good and bad reviews towards it and have a lot to think about. Maybe I shouldn't make a set but just try to make something completely different. I will probably focus on beefing up that text for now.
Thanks again.
