Concept Description

Website:: www.castlepictures.co.nz

Objective:: Clean and simple design to showcase videos

Target Market:: My clients

Categories:: film, tv, web

Tags:: simple, portfolio, video, not-for-profit clients, documentary, music video

This is my first attempt at creating my own website and I've spent ages trying to figure it out. I guess I'd like some non-bias feedback. It's really just an alternative to a showreel but with a blog that identifies who I am and what I care about. Any suggestions would be great.

I love mint, so don't tell me to get rid of it, but if you think it could be used in a better way?

This is based on a Theme Trust site called "reveal".

Minor Problem
	Font in the image thumbnail labels seems to be chopped Hey Nikki, On thing I noticed is as you hover over the images on the home page, it seems the labels are getting a little chopped at the top. You may want to try a crisper font.
Critical Problem
	Menu Item size You may want to make you menu items larger. All the focus is on the images, which is esthetically nice, but causes some usability issues as the person who skips by the menu may not really get a clue about what they are looking at as the title of the images is very specific.
