Helv thinks that writing in the third person is rubbish, also the justification looks terrible, rivers!!!!!!!

The hierachy's odd - and why don't those buttons at the top work ('info', 'accolades..' etc)?
Onmy laptop here, your main nav and content is below the fold, so when I scroll down to include all your text - the top dynamic content area disappears. This leaves me clicking your buttons with nothing happening.. until, of course, I scroll back up and see the loader kick in. What I mean is - there's maybe too much vertical distribution? Could you not split it over pages, or reduce the header height or something?
At first, I thought 'whoa - Liz Hurley and Shaun Rider as clients, eh?' - maybe split out your personal and professional a little more?
Looks nice and clean other wise - just a bit fiddly at the moment.

think all the channel4 stuff looks fake
dnt believe for a second that they would just get rid of their side navigation as well as their unique grids for your microsites

one thing i dont like is that there is no indication of how much content is in your horizontal portfolio scrollers, no idea of progress through it.
will i be here all day clicking the right button? do you have 20 projects in there or do you have 50,000 projects in this scroller, might i be here all day?
we had a scroller like this on a site for a client and thats what everyone complained about - they didnt know how much content was in the scroller. some indication is always a good thing
- this is a really good point, thanks for your feedback. ill try and remedy this.warwicka

nice work, site is a bit odd but beyond all, fully justified type?
- Bluejam0
the profile copy shouldn't be justified, it looks awful especially the first line.. "Andrew Warwick is an award winning"

thanks for the comments, sorry to be pedantic but what's the actually problem with the justifcation of the type? i thought it looked tidy.

You should move the horizontal portfolio navigation up, and make some kind of indication of how many entries it has. Don't expect users to use your scroll function - put the important stuff first.
The header is definately too high for a 1024*768 res, but works fine in higher (less distributed) resolutions.
I don't understand the navigation in the top of the header. I don't know if I'm just stupid, but I see no reason to click on any of those buttons. I would consider changing the text to something more intuitive.
Your gradient background has banding in it. Doesn't look very good. I like the idea of having the black fade into that brownish color though, so just make the gradient smoother.
Oh, and don't use justified type for the web. It never works out (well, almost never anyway).
Let us know if you make changes to the design, I'd look forward to see it. :)

Unless you manually adjust the letter and word spacing of each and every word you end up with big uneven gaps between words. This affects the legibility of the paragraph. Get too many of these and it looks like there are rivers running through your text.
You have quite a few gaps in your text which makes it harder to read, especially when using type at a small size, reversed out and on screen.
