Hello chaps and chapesses(!) my portfolio is now live and bar some minor bugs (and tons more photos to add) is just about finished.
Would appreciate any comments to make it better, or major bugs i have missed. (Also any job offers paying fat loads of wonga).
Many thanks!

very nice, I like the color scheme and the fonts you've chosen but the illy looks like it was done with the pencil tool in Flash and you can see blurry marks, etc. Myabe think about that part of it, but it's nice functionally speaking.

looks pretty good to me, i like the idea of the picture viewer...

im not a big fan of the "badly drawn" figures as the nav tho...

I don't mind the badly drawn figures. the colours work well.
good work. If you have loads more photography you might need to edit it well to make sure you are just putting up your best stuff.

Looks cool. And the 'badly drawn figures' look fine. You guys don't knock Presstube for that do you?
The only thing that bugs me is the super common gradients that fill the viewing boxes after you open a section. They don't really fit with the info in the top left or the creepy little guys waiting for a bus.

wait, your comparing this to Presstube...what are you nuts?

Thanks for the comments guys, it's much appreciated - all useful.
Anymore for anymore?

The content viewer is really slow to reveal (I'm on Mac, it might be quicker on PC), is it actually loading anything at that point? Doesn't look like it as you have a preloader appear after it has done the reveal. Makes getting to see the work pretty slow.
The navigation text label doesn't work if you move over the people quickly then stop on one.

Oooo - that's weird, on some Macs with the very latest flash player it blazes along. You're right in that it's not loading anything. Might also be a ram thing. I'll try and investigate... cheers!

Of course I'm not comparing it to Presstube. I was making the point (or trying to) that 'badly drawn figures' can work when executed well. So although the drawn figures might not be on the Presstube level, they certainly can work with revision and enhancement.
Sheesh. Chill.
