i have only one thing to add, you are one talented m f'er!
Love the site almost as much as I love the work.
- tparsons0
Changed out the cover image and fixed most things mentioned here except for the gray, I'll live with that for a bit.
Thanks again for the feedback....
Best,

Thanks... fixed title and cleaned up the sub nav too

maybe this has been covered before, but:
1. why when i click a logo it takes me to the top of the page and nothing happens?
2. logo should be dark gray, or darken the box behind it.
3. web work should open in a new window.
4. your belltazza work is really great.

one little thing... under "brands served"...
Is Enter Prise USA the car company? if so, it should be one word. "Enterprise" as far as I know.
- I meant "car rental company".

nice work... think the site is letting it down a bit.
like monNom said earlier, i would remove all of the decoration completely and leave only the work and essential text. leave it as clean as possible, let the work speak for itself... cross hatch patterns filling space do nothing for it.
and yeah, does that title actually have your site show up in google? unless it is getting you business i would be worried that it makes you look a little bit cheap. like the kind of 'web design' site that shows you it's prices for an '8 page silver package site' on the home page.

@Jnr_Madison thanks for the tips...
- no problem, they also said...Jnr_Madison
- Make page titles relevant to key terms used in page then company name - not company name first.Jnr_Madison
- Make good use of H1 & H2 tagsJnr_Madison
- Have a forward facing sitemap and a sitemap.xmlJnr_Madison
- Have plain text links to main pages on footer.Jnr_Madison
- that's all the main stuff. They said having rss (for updating content) is also very beneficial.Jnr_Madison
- oh and make sure all your alt tags are filled with relevant text for the image.Jnr_Madison
- oh, wait, were you being sarcastic...Jnr_Madison
- Thanks... I wasn't being sarcastic... : )tparsons

BTW Tim, really nice range of logos:)
- tparsons0
Thanks for the help.... I have some tweaks to make.

I really dig the logos. Paintings are nice too.

Some nice stuff but agree some of it feels washed out, I could barely see the footer menu it was so light.
Is the title for SEO, 'cause it does seem too long, looks weird.
- Thanks yes the title is purely SEO. Most clients don't read the title.. I'll probably clean it up a bit.tparsons
- btw, for SEO, you should always link back to root not mysite.com/index.htm...Jnr_Madison
- I couldn't find a sitemap.xml file?Jnr_Madison
- Do you have any other domains, they should be 301'd to main site.Jnr_Madison
- A breadcrumb would help SEO too.Jnr_Madison
- btw, this is all info one of the largest and best SEO companies in the UK recently gave me for a site that was trying to achieve a high ranking.Jnr_Madison
- trying to get a very high ranking.Jnr_Madison

Nice work Tim.
I would keep the navigational paradigm consistant between the logos/brandmarks, print/packaging and web/interactive. Each section navigates differently E.g. (the logos section clicks to nowhere, the print section has different viewing style and the web section simply launches the project).

does this help?

8) leave noob comments over there ---->
- monNom0
I think you could have picked a nicer cover image... your web/Interactive images are so engaging, while the bottles on the cover are dull and the background is more eye-catching than the subject. fix it up or replace it. It's not showing the quality you're capable of.
if you really want to show off the packaging, I'd go with the cropped photo (#3 in the sequence)
- I change the landing image whenever I have new work posted. I'll reconsider the crop.tparsons

...anyways, I like it. the subtlety is nice with the work taking center stage and not being obnoxious.
- tparsons0
@VectorMasked I'm trying to fix the center and optimize for the iPhone for the same time. I was having issues with that before butting up against the iPhone screens edges.

Looks nice overall.
I would work on the side nav a little bit. The neon blue doesn't really match the palette of the rest of the site IMO. And the way you are showing subitems in a section is a little confusing, especially when there is only one item.
- tparsons0
For those that see the scrollbar what browser are you using and for those that don't... that might help me figure it out.
Thanks,

I don't have a scroll bar and have a broken mouse wheel, so I have to hit the space bar to see content below the 1200 mark
