Ok, thanks for the crit.. Here is a list of what I will be changing
- adding links to home page icons, referincing proper content on about page.
- getting rid of mac monitors
- add _blank page link instead of leaving site
would that get me close to 95% approval? :)
- that's not how it works on QBN. We suggest fixes, you do them, and then when you re-post it, we tell you to start over.dropdown
- sounds about right.. hahairrelevant
- I think if made these tweaks your site would go from really good to super! :)designbot

You have some kind of major bug going on.
I take it there's 'supposed' to be some kind of copy/header text up top. It's not appearing for me but..it starts to appear when I change the page (almost looks like it's starting to animate). Right now the whole top portion is blank. I'm on a Dual Zeon PC Workstation on FF2.
- if you right click in that area, is it at least giving you a flash menu?
irrelevant - No context menu at all in that area...fyoucher1

FYI, designing a logo is far from 'branding' or 'identity' it's imply a logo.
You would be wise to change the title of the section. Also loose those stupid computer screens, wtf is the point of that?

anyone else not being able to see the flash at the top of interior pages like fyoucher?

Shouldn't it read:
"Where great design [flourishes, emerges, etc...] daily" ?
using the word "designs" feels a bit amateur in my opinion...otherwise, it's quite nice.

Haven't gone through the whole site yet, but on the Home page:
Bullseye headline doesn't have a period and there needs to be a space after the comma in the copy underneath.

I'm running max resolution on a 17" LCD here - that's 1280x1024.
Having to scroll to see all the stuff on your intro page is kinda lame.
- whoah, my 15" laptop has a much higher resolution than that, evenmonospaced

For the "They design you see" copy in About, you have habitit...is that a sanctuary for boobies? Should They Creative be capitalized in that same copy?

"One giant step" copy I think "clients" should be "clients'"

I agree with everyone about the icon and monitors, but I like your work!

All-in-all, nice portfolio. I agree much of the feedback already shared (decreasing the space on top, linkable icons, remove monitors, branding is not logo design). Here's my additional .5 cents:
I'd center the headline area with the 6 image icons below (needs to move to the left a bit). Also, since you're using the animated type on the interior pages, why not bring this to the intro? I'd favor this over the usage of images like the post-it note and the compass. It's not "real" strong to say "compass" then have an image of a compass right above it. And this is just little tweaky shit, but it "kinda" bugs me how the pie chart image on the far right and the alarm clock are the only images at the bottom with more color (as well as being both yellowish/green). I'd maybe tone down the colors here or find substitutes where the coloring matches the others (more metal/blueish). And the image of the phone booth at bottom right, I'd lose the stand and enlarge the booth so that is closer in size/dimension as the others. Again, my .5 cents.

nice work. my only real issue is the repeated use of the computer monitors (like everyone has already stated). otherwise, looks great!
BTW, where did you get the script for the large image scroller on your homepage? jQuery? would love to use something similar to that ;)

are the smaller monitors looking better?

i agree with the thread consensus of losing the monitors altogether. also, i see no flash anywhere on this site. the graphic homepage is still not an active homepage with links from the images
