Hello Craig -
Love your site and really love the work. Really cool it'd be ace to get you to do something!
Only comment is I'd lose the scrollbars. You could keep the work list to an optimum length and just croll down the whole page for the bigger stuff.
Cheers.

the menu font is little too small. a pitch bigger would be good.

i agree with the type size being a tad too small especially grey on white, it's not easy for everyone to read. You might also consider changing the colours of your text highlights to be more clearer.

Sorry dude not a fan, infact I really don't like all this ironic illustratione is it your style to draw bad on purpose?! It just looks kind of childish and talentless IMHO unless that is what it is trying to communicate?!, However the kind of illustration I'm into is very different, and you've had a book published sowho am I...

Well done Mojo

i really like the simple, un-obtrusive style of the portfolio. why the frames though? waaaaaaay old display style that is just not fun anymore. ;)
otherwise, i am w/ mojo- nicely understated presentation.

you could you customise the scroll bar using css, apart from that silly idea - very think looks good :)

When you first land on the page you should have the news showing, or even your work. One less click for your users. Also (and I understand you have just finished) get some more work out there, I feel that with your style a deep portfolio is called for.

You know, I totally missed the fact that you can scroll through the images by clicking on them. It's a pretty confusing way to navigate through the site. I would either a) list out every image as a separate link in the left hand nav or b) have thumbs within each section for each image. Otherwise, I think a lot of people will totally miss 90% of your work.

Also on a few of the pages it says this at the top of the page:
Not sure if that is a bug or part of the style lol.
- ukit0
Oops, I was trying to paste in what it said but it didn't work. It's a string of Javascript code or something.
- Dublao70
ukit,
I didn't even know you could click through more work!
something to think about
- craigatkinson0
Does anyone else find this a problem...clicking through the images?
- de4k0
yep I didnt realise immediately so yeah just indicate 1/10 or whatever or 'click image' etc
- craigatkinson0
even though it says it in red already?! Ok I'll do something
- kelpie0
remember people rarely read instructions for sites, make it really obvious where it counts...
nice site btw
- de4k0
I see it now but I missed it initially, could you not have something under the images?
- kelpie0
see what I mean?
