Default New Portfolio.

Just wanted to get some feed back on my new folio site as well as the pieces in it. I have been up for 36 hours straight now and i feel im going a bit mad.

Site design is nice, the work is awesome, I'd like to see it either centered or more spread across the page, love the header

My first thought was, 'why isn't it centrered' must be personal preference. Love the print work can you make the lightbox thingy go to the next one so you don't have to close the window to open the next piece. Like [work] etc.

I really like it and some great work.. Only only tiny concern is the backgrounds on the work, which it took be a minute to work out that they were. While not an issue in design, potentially clients might be put off, when you actually have some very clean work too, but the backgrounds might give the impression you only do grunge...

Just my thoughts but otherwise top notch...

To be annoying, I agree with Rich. I'd plop em on a white bg..

Love it love it, and some friends who were over saw it and thought it was "bad ass" as well. But I thought the same thing as zumo for a split second, and only because I remember having seen your work before did I know that it wasn't "grunge".

Otherwise I really like this, very cool effect.

You could do to optimise a lot of your images. I like the header though, and the artistic quality of the graphic work!

Hey, awesome work. I really like the header, and your portfolio is excellent.I did have a few comments on the website though.

I'm on dial-up, and your site loads really slowly. The background image took a long while to load (for a while I thought it was just a black background), and your images for the WORK sections could be optimized (mentioned by PR Design). I think you can probably cut the load time in half.

Also some of the text is really small. I'm 21, and usually like small fonts, but I actually preferred viewing your site with the text bumped up a size. Unfortunately, this changes the orientation of your navigation. I bring this up mainly because older people will view your site like this. Also "Stamp It" on your quote button is almost unreadable at this font size.

Just trying to throw some constructive things your way.

Nice work.

-Matt
