nice work. overall, the look and feel is nice. muted, clean and focuses on the work as centric.

Nice work.
It's also nice to see you've made an effort to liven up cargofolio.

Your work is lovely and Cargfolio seems to be a good choice for it.
- thanks. I was this close to using Indexhibit.baseline_shift
- how close?iCanHazQBN

what mau said
- JSK0
Its alright, nothing special. Didnt even want to click on the work cause since they have no color to entice me.
- iCanHazQBN0
JSK NEEDS to be enticed.
Entice him.

Now we are getting somewhere.
Went back and forth with the color on the thumbs, and wound up thinking they competed with the work in full color. Could be looked at as boring i suppose. Ill re-address that

Color on Rollover
- tcmmct0
Or maybe a monotone
- yeah, was just thinking bout using that green accent color for thatbaseline_shift
- Kolor0
Some of you obviously don't know the effects of color
- or kolor?baseline_shift
- cheersKolor
- or colourliveforever
- Kolor is better, less letters, less is more, minimalism, zen, art by subtractionKolor
- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...liveforever
- now that's rudeKolor
- haha only kidding
you will prob understand why in the near future :)liveforever - color has less lines than kolor. colour has more class.Amicus

loose the diagaonal lines
the green is a bit too dark
the grey looks not so convenient
why resize the menu point?
Headlines are to big for my taste (would it not look better in black?)
resume & elswhere is brighter, why? place it a bit more away from the rest and in the same styleI would rethink your logo... 3 lines doesn´t work
- i will consider all of these. care to elaborate on the inconvenient grey?baseline_shift
- I would make it much brighter, but first you need the loose the white parts, otherwise it will become unreadableMau
- right. Part of what i was going for here was "large bold type" ...baseline_shift
- ...that was still light due to low contrast. DOesnt work for ya?baseline_shift
- you should try it.. I would´t you that much diff. type sizes- 2 are enough. 1 for the menu and 1 for headlines,Mau
- for the rest I would work with boldMau
- for next/previous for active menu pointMau
- word. Ill look into this. thnxbaseline_shift

I thought it was very nice. The description text seems so small to me though, but I guess that's cargfolio. THe lines behind make hard to read. Overall it's nice though.

I like that you included a mechanical to accompany one of your signage projects.
- Thanks. I should add one to the other EGD package.baseline_shift
- Kolor0
The only thing I would change is your name. I don't like your name. Other than that, I like your layout.
- hahaha. Hows Gerald Lee Phibbins strike you?baseline_shift

problem with this cargofile template is... that many people don´t get that they are able to click on next/previous image.. they just click on the thumbs.
me as well
- Riiiight. Prob should make the "previous, next" part bolder or darkerbaseline_shift
