Under graphics, the 1,2,3 choices don't come up very clearly on the yellow car background.
Text on interactive page is hard to read with the building background. Logo page; the crowd.
For the photos page, when I put my mouse over the thumbnails near the center, the photo comes in under the mouse cursor. When I try and remove the mouse from obstructing the view, the RollOut kicks in and the photo disappears. 14th photo is also stretched. 13th photo's thumbnail and picture don't match up... but it's interesting.
You did the top and bottom line sweep for every page except the about page... seems a bit odd.
Don't hate me.

I like the smoothness of everything that moves, but I'm sorry to say that it's about the only positive thing I see. Don't take it in a bad way, Ico. I can't tell whether or not your work is any good, because there's very little of it, and because you've hidden it under useless stuff.
The way you present your works is problematic. The numbered squares are difficult to see over some of the backgrounds -- it's hard to tell which ones are numbered and which are not.
In the photo section, your photos are way too small to tell if they're any good.
On your contact page, I suggest you make all your contact information selectable. This ensures that if anyone needs to get your info, they can simply copy and paste it.
Finally, your image compression is too high, and I think your work will benefit from less compression (especially the illustration stuff). Your site is so clean -- make sure your images are too! Compression artifacts are ugly!
Good luck.

it takes along time for your animations to complete your splash screen is a little large and splash screens kinda suck in general speed up the anis and put the whole site at your domain so it starts instantly
and why do i see a shockwave loader couldn't you have used something a little more personalized
- spongebob0
oh yeah... why shockwave when you can flash it?
- ivan_cook0
ok; first off i like a lot of your work, but the site can be much better :)
i'm not sure why this is in shockwave....
peter saville's site has the same problem IMO; so i guess you're in good company, but the level of interactivity you have here does not seem to justify the use of Shockwave. One person here has already had a problem loading it. The requirement of a shockwave plugin is just another barrier between users and you work.
It maybe wants to be in flash.
That said, all of the sqaures read as buttons, but only some of the (the ones with numbers inside) function. If no project is associated with one square, just remove it to avoid confusion.
Also try to make the menu at the upper right "pop" more. I want to see it stand out a bit more.
Hope this helps.
Cheers & keep up the good work.

the first responses were kinda quick no? take your time before crit peoples work that way you might have some good things to say aswell. if your not up to exploring the whole thing don't bother :) am i right?
- mevsthem0
ivan cook nice layout.
- cloned0
mevs, i didnt fully explore the site no and ico this is not meant to put you down but part of the product is its packaging so if your favorite soda had a pile of shit on the side would you be as apt to drink it i think not. his work is solid and speaks for itself which is why i only made comments regarding the slow animations [takes longer to SEE work] and the spash to popup screen. [i personally dont like splash screens or popups] to me a turn off

Cloned, I want to introduce you to my friends "comma" and "period". They let you know when it's ok to breathe. Try them sometime!
Ico, it's really not acceptable to design a 1 load site anymore. Learn to load external content and seperate your site into sections that can be loaded when the user decides to visit each.

thank you
:-)vs THEM; i support ME (uh, i mean YOU)

use flash.

As far as design goes, I'm really not digging it. It feels too much like a powerpoint presentation. I click and then I stare while lines move and the next navigation fills the screen. The type treatment is not that great...many times I have a hard time reading it. The design seems very dependent on the large photos in the background. Take those out and you're left with almost nothing.

i do agree with alot of whats said.
np ivan.
