    More original

    Well it's a very gridlike, minimalistic site. I really don't see your quirky personality in this other than the text the art of awesome which is cute.

    Since you have the slider, perhaps showcase the best work first instead of the more utility belt, less tights and maybe add the section calling it featured works so people know what they're looking at.

    I hope that the user would be able to hover over the image in the slider to get more information if they want or click on it to get taken to the page of the work itself.

    I am not too fond of the underline highlighting what section you're on. It's nice, but perhaps a more zing is in order to really spice it up unless minimalism is your design style, which seems to be my conclusion based on the works you featured.

    Quirky?

    Hey there,

    I like you're way of exposing, and style but If it would point out a quirky personality I would have serious doubts.

    My first impression is a serious encounter with NASA, or maybe even better; a serious explenation page from CERN explaining in plain english where the antimatter has gone.

    Readability is okay. The text is nice, though at me it brings the idea of you're able of doing something genious. Though I can't see what. A Highly Skilled Media Ninja? Show me some skills !

    Make the labels over the images more apparent.

    Very nice design; I like the minimal approach. I'm however confused by where the content starts and ends. I'm also not seeing the labels over the images that well. I'd experiment more with some space! Nice job though!

    Hey there i like your site logo works looks nice and clean and i like your type, however i feel the site is straight up and down and very "blocky" which i guess is kinda the opposite feel i get from your text.

    when i design a site i all ways ask my self why would someone visit this site and what i want them to get out of the visit. The site says what you do but what should i do now i have looked at it ?

    Slider in the head might be slightly to large

    AIDA attention interest desire action is nice to try and follow

    Nice work

    Be more professional and confident.

    Love the grid style layout. Here are my concerns

    1. I like the idea you have for the header, but having your featured work there might be best. Most people wont see the entire image first thing.

    2. Your client list seems a little light. The two on the end are a good opacity, but the middle ones seem to get lost in the white.

    3. I feel the layout makes you look and feel very clean and professional before reading your description. The "silliness" doesn't really work with this layout or your work. A straight to the point, confident description would suite this best.

    Overall, great concept and work.

    Too much

    Posted on Apr 04, 2010 at 10:04 PM

    Unfortunately I feel like there is too much going on in this site. There is a lot of images all with the same level of hierarchy and focal importance. I think you need to simplify this design.

      Hey Nate thanks for the feedback! do you think you could clarify exactly why you feel it's is too much going on?

      It's the number of images you have. They all look like header images and have the same amount of focal hierarchy.
