Minimal Design, Nice. Clean simple straight to the point. Love the logo. The attitude says fun and young. As for the overall look and feel of the site I have issues.
Home Page, Header image great!Home Page:
Hide banner button? Is it Necessary I am forced to work for very little payback. I hide the banner, and I am able to see all the content on my 21 inch cinema, however the content has very little interest to me, and serves as a distraction, or is presented in an uninteresting way, it's almost like an afterthought and can be placed in other areas of the site. Publications and Awards can be in about section, Twitter can be placed in contact section, and as for videos I am not sure what relevance it has and if it's important maybe it could play as a first thing in the header or if not, it could be taken out.Home page design, I am confused and agitated by the use of the arrows. They are leading me away from relevant content "Coming soon, latest work, News and Blog" And into About that I do not want to read, with an arrow indicating to go further down to the video section, that I do not want to see, and that is where I am stuck. I am stuck in the bottom right corner having to work my way up. And I haven't even looked at anything yet. And here is my frustration as the end user with the home Page.
What is relevant, can we assign proper real-estate to those sections and move the rest of the content to the inner pages. I am sure the feeling is everything is relevant, but if everything is relevant than there is no real scale, and so the information overwhelms and competes, frustrating the end user.
Navigation, there is hover state, in each of the home page sections, but the only are that is clickable is the image box itself, frustrating and confusing.
The next row of information has not click states, so I am looking at this tiny image that has very little interest to me.
The look and feel, twitter logo, looks like it was slapped in there, it sits, somewhere between light gray, and dark gray bars, and not where it should be right under the tweet.
Work, the small thumbnails have very little interest to me, I was not sure if I wanted to invest time reading clicking on them, and I did not read the copy, that space could be used to show me a compelling image promoting me to click, and see the beautiful work you guys done. And by the way the work is beautiful. The space there is big enough for me to see the work, and read the copy.
About section bored me, more copy to read very little to look at, I like white space, but here I am looking at wasted space, and the grid layout provides plenty of space to include the entire bottom row content from the home page.
Contact section looks fine however the text are in directions could use a bit of organizing.
