Hello all, I have a rough draft version of my new portfolio up.
Let me know what you think.Mostly I need to re-do my Reel(its super old) and the photographs of the work are just FPO.
Thanks.

hmmm. okay.
you better loose that real till you have a new one.the popups of your work are blocked by my browser, so loose that too.

dude, you really need to learn to code for the web.
each page is an area map over one gigantic image. holy hell.

what part did you not get qruise?
- Timson0
stay away from the popups. otherwise, looks good.

i really would like to laugh, not that agreeing with qruise is an everyday thing, but seriously, why make an image and image map it five times, upload it and post it? half the work you've done so far is scrapped come code time, i hope you don't waste client time like that as well

Maybe he's not a web designer and is just trying his hand at making his own site...
I know a few graphic/motion designers that don't know the first thing about web design apart from what this guy has done.
but yeah, go ahead and laugh then.

Ok big-papes, Ive just gotten help from people on a site Im workin on so Im gonna offer some constructive criticism, hope its not too harsh.
First of all, I like the work, especially the decks, very cool colours in there. And some nice type.
While I like the logo and colours, I think the nav is a bit too big and you're losing a lot of space up top.
Im not diggin the bgs I think the gray dots on the white need to be faded back and the same on the diagonal desk logo on the orange, I love the bright colour but it could be more subtle.
Im not enthusiastic about the popups, you've got a lot of space on the page so either utilise that or bring the viewer to a new page.
I like the work, some of it is very si scott, which isnt a bad thing, but you could preview it better. Small thumbnails would work better than the rectangles I think.
Lose the illos of the hoodies or t-shirts or just refine the images, they're a little clunky.
And Id re-take the last couple of photographs, think about what the person holding the pics is wearing, cos its clashing with the work so either more neutral clothing colours or pin them to the wall and take em.
I know this seems like a lot to take in and feel free to disregard any of what Ive said, but you want to show your work as best you can.

igonre them babies, they are all jealous.
work - good
build - shite.Concentrate on learning a bit of basics on web coding. there is nothing there that cannot be built in css so steer towards that curve.
and don't bother posting the site here again until YOU are happy with both the design and build of the site.

I agree that the work is pretty good.
The site, though, I'd have to say some serious rethinking is in order.
That you did the whole thing as one image is completely unneccesary. That you use pop-ups so extensively is unneccessary.
As for being a rough draft, I'm not sure what you mean. You made a fully functional site - albeit with image maps... - but it's a site 100%. It's not a jpg that you've posted.
For the popups, lightbox is a great alternative - but obviously we're not really sure about how extensive your web skills are.
But good work inside.

are you a banner designer? Or do you just love that format for your work.
