I like the simplicity. I think it could be made more simple by eliminating the superfluous "work" click

I was thinking of posting some of my work in a thread. Now I've changed my mind.

the overall view is have the list of work on the homepage?
but you guys like the work?

youd get further if you didnt keep spamming the stuff and particularly in the first case where you pretended it wasnt even your work. madness.
i like some of your work and others are liking it too. its definitely more 'illustration' than 'design' and maybe 'installation' kind of arty stuff but you're going to find it hard getting lots of jobs that allow you do 'do the whole hog' outwith london.
its only really london clients that'll throw that kind of money and projects at you
"here's £XXXXXX, do us something cool"
only happens in london mate lol.
the rest of us can only dream!The usability of your site is a bit pants in the sense that you have to first of all click "work" to see a list, then click the individual links on the list to see the work.
Why not just have some/all of the work shown on the homepage when you first come to it.
Stupido interweb users might not even realise they have to click on the word "work"WeLoveNoise mentioned there are loads of other design companies in Brum. I dont think theyve anything to fear from you guys, their a lot more "graphic design" based with tight sites and typography whereas you guys do seem to be more arty.
Maybe thats the stance yous have to take to survive, dont try compete with these companies, create your own market.

like I told you the last time you posted your site.
pleaseeeeeee remove the electrix stuff, its awful
- 23kon0
i was going to say to moamoa to stop being a bastard about the electrix stuff, but i had a look again and he is right.
that flyer really is showing off some poor typography and theres nothing much redeeming about it. definitely a lower standard than the rest of the work.

I think for once in my life I actually agree with just about everything 23Kon says.

"and we will become a name you all reconise"
nothing wrong with having dreams.
Attik started in one of the dudes grans attics- we used to live round the corner from it. that property is worth loads now aparentlyWeLoveNoise

They made it though by doing something different that made them stand out from the crowd, same with The Designers Republic.
If you seriously want to become one of the 'faces' then you's need to get your heads together and work out what makes you's different from everyone else. Create your own style and stick to it.

id love to work on my own and start something up but its competitive and when work stops coming in, then what ?
thats why i was asking rybo
- So your job isn't competitive, nice and comforatble?mimeartist
- rybo0
welovenoise im getting steady work as it is but we havent started advertising it or contacting people but when we will we will be ready and happy to send some work your way hehe
- organic_grid0
Rybo, overall nice work mate.
I believe that the reason everyone jumped all over and got pissed off at you was because they felt misled by your thread title of "Spanking *NEW* designers".
Next time start off your thread with a title like "website update, please crit" as an example.
- mimeartist0
I wouldn't say you're a spammer for a start , you're proud of what you're done and more importantly you've actually got a site rather than a holding page, which it seems half the people either on this site has, or they just set up personas...
If you're going to post it, be honest it is you, thats is the only thing to be wary of, but I rate you (not that it means much) more than most of the trolls on this site (and more importantly this thread, perhaps they should pull their fingers out and get something done, and be proud enough to actually push it)

please put this site, the work and the computer that its made on in a iron vault and buried it near the earth's crust.

organic_grid & mimeartist please clone yourselfs and make them put QBN in there favourites.
please add my site to your favourites because i wont stop till im world renound bit of ambition never hurt...did it?
- tank020
ambition is a nice thing,
but the choices you made concering type on that website
are not translating that ambition.
the way you talk about your work gives me the impression
that you are alread up there...
dont get me wrong, i'm not saying i'm up there, its a every day proces. be humble as a designer, because we are in
a way like the butler in remains of the day...
quiet, efficiant and good. we are not rockstars, so don't act like one...
- rybo0
you have a different opionion to me then! designers i aspire to be are rockstars the very very very best of the best Peter Saville, was he not a rockstar designer and far from quiet.
but all depends on what you aspire to be, a corporate knowone or a commerical 'rockstar'
- tank020
is olt aicher a corperate no-one, you knucklehead?
Though i like peter savilles work (i'm a big factory adorer)
you should really listnen to some interviews of him,
a superhumble guy who always quotes his sources
and minimalises his work, sagmeister the same.
you haven't achieved fuck but yet you act like a pompeus twat, way to go man, keep it up....
