nice work. i agree about larger images. and the flash menu.
why all the hate in this thread?
- akrokdesign0
low quality on the font menu. don't work well at that size.
- yes thats what im talking about, why you dont just use images instead of that ifr (?) crapspraycan

Congrats man. The studio brand looks nice. Ultimately I'd suggest a horizontal grid-based layout of the work instead of the blog-style approach. Might as well take advantage of the screen size of your audience. Also agree the tags add nothing and if anything get in the way. Anyway, work looks nice, good luck with the venture.

why do you label things 'Art Direction' which are not? it's especially misleading with the fashion photogs website--unless of course you were 'Art Directing' on shoots? feels unnecessary / amateurish

- not art director, art direction.
Kiggen - be honest--there is no difference. explaining agency hierarchy is not necessary, an art director is a designer.francoisfido
- maybe you could explain on your site what you mean by the titles you're so un-fond of...francoisfido
- there is a big difference, but you are always so stubborn that only your opinion mattersKiggen
- i'm also curious what the difference is, you could type it out below and perhaps i can tell you if i'm any less confused?francoisfido
- you know what nick, go to some more 'art' work at rietveld. I only see you here to bitch aboutKiggen

Kiggen - what have been some of the hardest things you've run into while starting your business? major pitfalls you didn't see coming? what, if any, advice could you give to someone else looking to do the same thing at some point that you WISH you knew going into it?

let's just say that with our starting budget this is the most easy solution, we are not developers so...
I don't think we are the kind of people that never
and yes there will be more projects added the next couple of weeks.
about the menu, maybe we could change that, you are right about the tags, no need for that I guess.
thanks for the comments
- that never... change or update the design of the sitesmpl

Congratulations on the new studio, Kiggen!

nick:
art directior: a job with a clear hierarchy.
art direction: the art direction of a site, of a magazine, of corporate borchure, doing the not the design but the overall logic, the way the work is presented...- if people are confused, see frankiefido post.Kiggen
- 'overall logic, the way the work is presented' = designfrancoisfido
- Thats your opinion than...Kiggen
- then what do you define as 'design', in the context of how you use the term across your site?francoisfido
- Design = making the art direction happen.jamble
- < sums up my skepticism. if you're 'art directing' and 'designing' both, why confuse the issue in terms?francoisfido

nice studio Kiggen! :D

it is art & design direction, it does not say we did the art direction on the shoots? now does it? so what is misleading about that? I did the design, and helped with the selection of the photography shown...
- simple question: what is the difference between 'art direction' and 'design direction'?francoisfido
- art direction is also concept. design is just design. what is so misleading about that?smpl
- 'design is just design' -- i concede this is as far as we'll get. good luck with your new studio...francoisfido

Jup, this is just a start, something basic that gets the job done.

"we provide design solutions" — is that the best you can come up with?

Yeah, and most clients will be impressed regardless I'm sure. When you do develop it further though you should look into a good CMS - there's no need to spend an arm and a leg to get a more robust site when this particular wheel (portfolio site) has been built so many times.
