    no links to your online works - just still by the looks of things
    would have been nice to have a link to the rocknrolla site without having to search for it myself

    Well holy shit, think you could be opening up a can o worms here skt!

    Overall the site seems very 'gentle' no whizz-bang distractions, just very simple. Really like some of the identity work on there. For me the text is a wee bit small, it looks a little fuzzy, FF3 on OSX 10.4.

    Are you going to change the image that appears on load or will that remain the same all the time?

    • i was going to make that a little slide show, or maybe just one randomly loaded image.. not sure yet.– skt1/4
      ps, simple is good.– ian2/4
      Yeah, at first I thought it was a random image so tried to refresh a few times. Slides could be good either, give it …– ian3/4
      … a bit of a sneak preview.– ian4/4

    Is it important for you to point out that you are a 'Scottish designer'?
    Guess it could be if you're going America-way. If it is aimed at our US cousins, I'd ditch the No Talent Cunt thing - I can't see them getting that. I also hope you're going to populate that are with more content - if I'm an employer looking at your site, I probably already know your name and that you're a designer.

    I like the intro fade, colours, logo, basic structure - but I don't like the wee text you've gone for - it's, well, a bit wee, and it feels like a half-arsed choice to accompany your logo. imho, obviously, I have no quantifiable data to back up my opinion.

    YOUR LOGO IS FUCKING BRILLIANT, BY THE WAY.

    • i fucking hate about sections, and 'scottish' was for line length only.– skt1/5
      font choice matches the card. just flash is shit at rendering them.– skt2/5
      ha ha, fair enough. One smll thing - I might appreciate an underline to remind me which section I'm on. I'm stupid, see?– detritus3/5
      tried it, threw it out. fucked up my base line init.– skt4/5
      brilliant logo? waa?– epete225/5

    nice work... lol @ no talent cunt

    I prefer bigger fonts but i guess them being small does not detract from the work. you have a good eye for colour

    see by "more content" do you mean more screens of each project?

  • neue75_bold

    overall I quite like it... Initially I thought maybe you could do without the heavy red [at the bottom, outside the content area] but then it might look too empty?!

    'without the red at the bottom'? I don't see that my end.

    Also - I've just noticed that I have a vertical scrollbar (on my laptop here, 800px high) when the content seems not to require it?

    • your screen res is too small prob to see the red at the bottom...– neue75_bold1/3
      Yet I have a scrollbar?

      I fears.      – detritus2/3
      yeah, it doesn't show at that res.– Jnr_Madison3/3

    Looks like great work. Only one small crit...the first project - Realtime has too much archiving in the image, bump up the quality!

    Otherwise spot on.

    i dig it.

    the red is quite bold and a departure from your last site.
    very simple and minimal which looks very elegant here, nice grid. i am for shit at minimalism, so i always appreciate it when some one does it well.

    my one concern is that red may be too bold. i remember seeing some redesigned business cards awhile back and they matched this design. i think i just may be used to the white page you had before.

    love the logotype. i am currently redoing mine and i'm stuck on font selection. again yours is simple and elegant. well done.

    and i agree about the "about" sections. never know what the fuck to write in there.

    over all very nice.
