yeah i agree, problem is the majority of my work (e-marketing cr*p) is around 550x500 pixels and if it were to load in the right, the box would have to be a lot bigger (or scroll...no chance)...
didn't really want it too big...but hey...might have to use an iframe after all...boo...
What would everyone else do? iframe?

Kev, your saying that your images are to BIG, to work into that layout?
These beginnings to your site show us all you know how to use industry standard programs.
Why don't you make the images what ever size you need using Photoshop?

A key part of what Kev does and what I used to is the fact that scaling the images down will mean a lot of the time important copy will become unreadable which is part of the work as much as the graphical side.
I would perhaps consider making the left hand side narrower and the right wider in order to accommodate the full pics. I don't really think an iFrame will do anything special in this case other than keep a consistent height. Look into an overflow instead and load it in as I mentioned earlier.

I am one for large, clean, crisp images. I'm not to worried about important copy, I can display that in type if I need to.
Kev does not have to scale down the images. Just as he knows HOW to down scale, He knows how to modify (as suggested) the space to accommodate the image size (I think).

basically, i can resize the artwork, but i dont want to...i want them to viewable as i intended originally...
The only way round this is either making the right box bigger or using pop ups...so i reckon it'll be a bigger box...
will have a play and come back in a few days...
ta guys.
...and yes i can use photoshop
...just about:P

I like the colours. And I really like simple designs. However, I dislike pop-ups for portfolio work. You could also try and make it a little more interesting. It seems somewhat boring.
And I realize that my site uses pop-ups. But it's not for portfolio work and this is the first time, really.

I was a bit confused about the navigation...
I didn't relise there was an email marketing section. It looked as tho you only had three sections and not 4.
I had assumed that the first was a home button as is quite common.
I suppose this also points out that your wight txt on bright colours isn't that clear to read.
It all looks very smart tho...
Especially the Newmarket Campaign
