Not such a great idea to repeat the logo on the book. It's only 2 niches away from the actual logo!
And it'd be nice to have the option on the last spread to go back to the first spread.
Perhaps you could try to link all the items on the content's spread to their respective spreads.

Enquiries or Inquiries?

get rid of the click here. redundant. looks cheap because you're using the stock flash flip through a book procedure.

ye was thinkin that about the logo on the book, and the contents will have to be done, will be much cooler, nice one

oh...and I always find it funny when people state that a particular piece of work was done in not CS, nor CS2! BUT CS3!!!!!!!!!!

Please kill the page turn noise its horrible.
Not sure Im feeling the tie and shirt as a logo.
I also think you should line up all the items against the white part of the page on the left and not the black border which is barely visable. Same with the copyright watermark on the right.
Not a huge fan of page turn sites but overall I think its good.

1. It is too small. Use all of the space available for 1024x768 resolution. As is, it is just slightly larger than 800x600.
2. That flash page-flip book is a little tired. I'm sure the rest of the world hasn't seen it as many times as I have but still... Just look pretty uncreative to me. I looked at the first item in your portfolio and it seems decent and original - why go with stock stuff for your own portfolio?

so it's a launch page for launch pages?

kill that pageturn sound effect, for a portfolio useless!
and like above, its too small, you have show your WORK and not the fancy flash-book... if you called it a portfolio!

Indeed , the flip book is so over done. and your work is all so horribly cramped. The carbon fiber effect says all the wrong things. Remake. bigger fresher and better use of space. also not sure what the logo is trying to say. all i can think of his uncreative things for the use of a tie and a square. hehe, but thats just all up to interpretation i guess. Your work you have done fresh, simple and clean. I am sure it will not take you long at all to do your self something along the same lines.

it looks cheap and tired i'm afraid. the page turn gimmick was only interesting on the first few sites that used it 3 or more years ago.
a portfolio really should just be a means to display the work within, keep it simple.

It's smaller than my manhood on a freezing cold day

Loose the page turn. Maybe just add thumbs. Under your description change "software" to "role" and explan your role in each project. I do not think most people care about what software you are using. my 2 cents.

ye i guess, but then i think boring html portfolio sites are cheap... each to there own. back to the drawing board

it's not like you only have a choice of doing a boring html site or a flash page turn one though is it?

I would try to focus more on what the user finds interesting (which probably means samples of your work). Bring the most important content up front, you don't want the user to loose attention.
I'd drop the splash screen and the page turn effect, and present some real content immediately. I'm not really into entire sites build with Flash, but if it represents your work and your style, just go with it.
Good luck.

Are you showing off your site or your work? Everyone has seen this Flash page-turn style a hundred times but very few have seen your work...
