Especially since it looks like all they did was use simple viewer on most of the pages...

I had the same immediate thought as Leigh

on the about caulfield page, the head "about caulfield" isn't aligned with the text underneath (I would also make those headers smaller)
and maybe use a white instead of a rather flat grey background for the simpleviewer
i like your drawings btw

yeah grey might be a bit much. And point taken re - large 'designed by' banner!
I also need to re-upload the quicktimes so they'll give a progress bar, and possibly make them smaller files to download. At the moment I don't think most people will take the time!
How long are you guys waiting for those? I'm on a slow connection here so it's hard to tell.

thanks for the comments, by the way! Do you think overall the site passes the test? I'll make the changes soon once I upload to my own domain.

Sorry, should have said that I like the work! Just got irritated by the 'designed by' bit!
Good show!

fun fun work. i really like the style and the way you play with it (especially in the first video). that being said, there are a couple of things that bug me about the site.
1. i don't care much for the way the site vertically centers itself. if all of the pages were the same height, i wouldn't mind, but i don't like the way the header and nav bar moves between pages.
2. poor quality preview images. the thumbnails are fine, but when i click on one the quality of the work sample is horrible. i'm figuring it's because you're having flash scale the images. you should really consider resizing the images yourself and having flash display them at full size. if this is the first time you're exposing someone to your work, then you should make sure it looks as good as you can make it.

I really like your work. the site is clean and cool, I would make some minor tweaks that people have already mentioned and your set.
cool. cheers

funny I tested out the site on a mac display, and thought the flash resize issue was taken care of.
Thanks for the crits though! I'll do some more testing - haven't come across the changing vertical centering myself though.
How fast/slow are the quicktime downloads?

by the way, did you guys realise you could right click on the images for a larger version?
And i should mention that the main artowrks are for a group called 206 collaboration, also based in sydney, who 'bust out' rhymes on a regular basis with other guys like 2up and The Herd. The artwork was nominated for 'best hip-hop' cover design of the year, but lost to this
wonder why!?!? Mine had dicks in it!
