no links to your online works - just still by the looks of things
would have been nice to have a link to the rocknrolla site without having to search for it myself- "still a few things to do,links to sites..."********
- and they have fucked rocknrolla up over the weekend by the looks of things, fun for tomorrow.********
- lol

Well holy shit, think you could be opening up a can o worms here skt!
Overall the site seems very 'gentle' no whizz-bang distractions, just very simple. Really like some of the identity work on there. For me the text is a wee bit small, it looks a little fuzzy, FF3 on OSX 10.4.
Are you going to change the image that appears on load or will that remain the same all the time?

Is it important for you to point out that you are a 'Scottish designer'?
Guess it could be if you're going America-way. If it is aimed at our US cousins, I'd ditch the No Talent Cunt thing - I can't see them getting that. I also hope you're going to populate that are with more content - if I'm an employer looking at your site, I probably already know your name and that you're a designer.I like the intro fade, colours, logo, basic structure - but I don't like the wee text you've gone for - it's, well, a bit wee, and it feels like a half-arsed choice to accompany your logo. imho, obviously, I have no quantifiable data to back up my opinion.
YOUR LOGO IS FUCKING BRILLIANT, BY THE WAY.
- i fucking hate about sections, and 'scottish' was for line length only.********
- font choice matches the card. just flash is shit at rendering them.********
- ha ha, fair enough. One smll thing - I might appreciate an underline to remind me which section I'm on. I'm stupid, see?detritus
- tried it, threw it out. fucked up my base line init.********
- brilliant logo? waa?********

skt, nice upgrade:) what pixel font are you using for your body copy?
- i'm just going to assume you are taking the piss and trying to suggest that if i was using a
pixel font i wouldn't know...******** - ...how to place it properly.********

nice work... lol @ no talent cunt
I prefer bigger fonts but i guess them being small does not detract from the work. you have a good eye for colour
- kelpie0
see by "more content" do you mean more screens of each project?
- neue75_bold0
overall I quite like it... Initially I thought maybe you could do without the heavy red [at the bottom, outside the content area] but then it might look too empty?!
- such0
Text seems a bit blurry to me.
- moamoa0
very nice work
decent nice intro
I see it like neue75, I think it would be better without the red at the botton .. or much thiner
no talent cunt logo... hmmm I wouldn´t show it
- detritus0
'without the red at the bottom'? I don't see that my end.
Also - I've just noticed that I have a vertical scrollbar (on my laptop here, 800px high) when the content seems not to require it?
- your screen res is too small prob to see the red at the bottom...neue75_bold
- Yet I have a scrollbar?
I fears.detritus - yeah, it doesn't show at that res.Jnr_Madison

Nice, simple, like it. Will feel more complete once you add the click through of the work.

Looks like great work. Only one small crit...the first project - Realtime has too much archiving in the image, bump up the quality!
Otherwise spot on.
- Mishga0
you need a preloader for the work, i mean..i don´t have a clue if it is loading or stuck...

i dig it.
the red is quite bold and a departure from your last site.
very simple and minimal which looks very elegant here, nice grid. i am for shit at minimalism, so i always appreciate it when some one does it well.my one concern is that red may be too bold. i remember seeing some redesigned business cards awhile back and they matched this design. i think i just may be used to the white page you had before.
love the logotype. i am currently redoing mine and i'm stuck on font selection. again yours is simple and elegant. well done.
and i agree about the "about" sections. never know what the fuck to write in there.
over all very nice.
