I have a prototype of my book / portfolio at
Can you all give me your opinion?
Thank you!

nice concept but a tad bit dull. it's really bland ya know, no real contrast on the page until you get some actual work displayed.
try and dump in some lime green or pink on some of the text headlines to give it some form of color.
nice start though.

i like the mutedness.

kona, i actually wrote that before i even saw your post. just goes to show, eh? no accounting for taste!

speed it up, make it run smooth... I agree with Kona, you need A LOT more contrast than what you have.. it will give you that extra 'Zing'...
also, if it's a portfolio, then you might want to include some info about yourself in the site somewhere.

Grey tones + Random 45 degree angles reminds me of stuff that was popular in 1999/2000. I agree that a splash of color would be useful and maybe up the frame rate. Nothing wrong, per se, but nothing that makes me want to stay on your site.

Yes, it needs some info about me, but it is still a prototype...
The color thing is a helpfull tip.
Thanks!

Do you specially like any of the works inside?

don't be afraid to make your work larger

Up your framerate in flash as well, try for 20fps, really choppy animation.

the 'drop bar' stuff in print looks wicked.
the first three items in print i like best.
i think you should only show your strongest work.
some of the other stuff looks like bread and butter jobs to me. a bit boring.take inspiration from your best work for the portfolio site, looks like you can do it.

bump the framerate to 31fps - seems to be the magic number for smooth animation in flash.
Put something on your homepage that invites people to explore your site/work.
Right now it animates in, stops on the blank gray display area. Influence the user to go where you want them to. Maybe showcase your best work on the front, then have a link/promo to the rest of your stuff "see more work..."
