If you're going to be using this to get freelance clients I'd lose the "Random Shit" from your nav. Find something more professional.

nice work, i like the overall look the the site but the top feels somewhat imbalanced to me once you go away from the home page. I would drop the purple mouse it hurts my eyes.

drop the self testimonial from the bottom too. sort out the hierarchy in the top left of the site. the bg image ends too abruptly and it just looks kind of uhhhh. nice work in the portfolio though.

Looks good to me: The work is solid
Yes, lose the "random shit thing", add a page counter on the "newer/older" nav at the bottom the page, and possibly, select bit more the works on interactive: there's too much stuff. Maybe condense some screens into a composition.Oterwise very good.,

some good work there... the presentation should be cleaned up as noted by the comments above...
... although - I'd use more swear words... but that's just me.

i like the overall feel, but i think it could be paired back a bit and simplified. Especially in the nav/header area. That stripey stuff is really loud.

thanks, good comments all. I understand what you are saying about the sh*t section... but some part of me really wants to maintain the level of irreverence... I will definitely rethink this

Just add shit to all the other pieces, it will even out

i too, would drop the 'testimonial' and the sh*t - if it weren't on every page, that might be ok, (for instance, up until a day or two ago my 404 error page said "what the fuck just happened" - my wife thought i should edit it a bit.
- also, i realize that no one needs to type on your web, but if someone mis-pasted the address, your search and error pages need formatting.

I think how irreverent you can be depends a lot on your target. If you're simply using this to land a job at a design agency, then cursing may not hurt you. This of course depends a lot on the agency. Some will find it juvenile, to others it will imply that you're not a total bore.
If you're trying to land your own clients, I err on the side of caution and dial back on irreverence. Finding new freelance clients is hard enough as is, why make it harder by possibly turning customers off with something as trivial as cursing. Kna mean? Nobody wants to water down their work, but at the same time this is a commercial activity, you're not making a painting or zine.
- agreed, for the record i am not looking for freelance with this site. Just want to have a place to display my work.epac21
