Hmmm? Don't know what's bothering these guys. I can see lots of content and it doesn't look disjointed. Nice video stuff too.

Anyone who can't see the link, look up

Hmmm. Just to prepare anyone else before they check out the link: it's a portfolio site. It's got design work in it.

What is the fucking point of making your website designs dance around with After Effects magic? That's called polishing a turd. How retarded.

I'm referring to your "Timber Press" project, in which you use all these 3d effects and smooth tweens for...a fucking html website?
Seriously, what's the matter with you? Yeah it looks slick, but it's completely dishonest and not at all what the project was about.
- The video must have taken longer than the actual site design!Nostradamus
- was that maybe a promotional tool for the site ?traut
- Yeah, but this is his site and he's showing off what he can do.monospaced

Nostradamus, kind of dishonest you taking credit for http://www.google.com/, no?

Lol. The purpose is to make each project look as nice as possible. Agreed, the video is a dishonest representation of a working website – a serious misrepresentation, but who cares? The skill required to make the video is what I'm attempting to showcase.
As for the banners. We all know banner work is nasty - but I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not taking credit for the photo imagery. I'm not trying to get people to believe that I had a photo-shoot with Keanu. That's generally the way it works with banner stuff. You're given photo assets and you use them. I'm showcasing the fact that I can build the things. Nothing more.

You're 27. Matrix came out in '99. Were you 17 at the time?
Serious question.

"We all know banner work is nasty - but I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not taking credit for the photo imagery."
Sorry, no. I really have to disagree with you here. It is not obvious at all. You show me something on your folio, I assume you did it. You can't backpedal and tell me that you didn't.
If I need to hire a freelancer in a pinch and I'm skooting through the work and then realize that you;re not what I thought you were, that pisses me off.- Haha. Sorry you're "pissed off"!Malleus_Maleficarum
- "You're not who I thought you were" Jesus it's a potfolio!Malleus_Maleficarum

Nah. It's pretty clear I think. Your criticism is noted though.
