nice site. I think you should change the section title "company identity" to "corporate identity" as that's how it's usually refered to. Or you could just say simply "identity"

thanks Baskerville, i'll change that

get rid of those '+' !
your portfolio is of a much higher standard than the website. it looks to me like the site was designed by a teenager, the portfolio the work of a professional.
+ i don't think listing 'apps' used is of any relevance (unless you're sponsored by Adobe)
i'm giving you a B-, could do better.

good to know you like the work Bluejam

I would lose the random background image and the full width lines with the plus signs.
I would also bring the title and nav out of the corner a bit. It seems a bit cramped up there.
Other than that, it's quite nice. Although a little bit, um, tech? for me.

nice job. its easy to navigate and good execution.
i agree thou to nix the applications used. its just a little too amaturish "i know photoshop so im cool".

i like it lots, it moves very smoothly. i don't know how i feel about the background and the random background button. i kinda feel it's not neccesary and may distract from the clean presentation layer on top... maybe there is a better alternative.

just the name jeftel makes me shudder :D
I like the full width bars, and the plus/minus bits, I'm not massively keen on the background but I've seen a lot worse.
Just wondering, the background says 2006 but the portfolio title is 2004/5 is that intentional?

i'll echo what everyone has said and say get rid of the background image, the dotted blue line leading from the project name to the description, list of Apps used etc..
Out of curiosity, what exactly are you doing with image-ready in regards to the identity work you've done. It seemed kinda odd to me.

top work but next time you do work for eye candy, let me know.
no I don't know any of them, i just want to hang around the photo shoot!

I like the random background, but I think it should be random everytime you visit the site, rather than pushing a button. The description text is a little small and the kerning is too tight. It's hard to read. Other than that, good job!

Good work overall in the portfolio, I'd take all the subjective criticism with a grain of salt...
I agree about the background, it would be nice if it would change every time a visitor comes to your site, though being able to switch it up is a nice option. I'd think up something a bit more textural for the background and maybe less distracting.
Also agree about the apps used, seems superfluous. Overall quite nice tho.

alos check your spelling again. noticed a few typos:
'they needed a idividual look'... etc.

Can't help but see the Joshua Davis/Praystation influence. Not sure if that's good or bad. No one else seemed to notice....great work, tho.

in your website design section when you select the url to view it live it should be _blank not _self.
Techy look is fine with me and yes the randomiser for the background would better if it was not optional but occured every time you visit the site maybe with some more neutral colors. Otherwise excellent job and I would love to know how you did your work section as in source file. If you can email me...
- mightyj0
yes that random composition did remind me of joshuas work as well. Nice work all together though and it's very easy to move around in your site. My only comment is that the random composition seems unconnected to the rest of the site.

thanks for all the response, you've all made some valid points that i've taken on board.
i will drop all the mentions of apps used - seemed a good at time... daft now.
the background IS random on load, the buttons there to re-shuffle the background again, maybe a bit confusing
thanks again
