Hi All,
I just started to put my portoflio together. Still not complete as youll see but I wanted to get some feedback before I go ahead in this direction further.
Thanks in advance

lovely work. my only suggestion would be to break the image up into a few, rather than one large image as it took a while to load.
the way you're choosing to showcase your work is really nice. scrolling down the shopa work it has such beauty in it's flow.
i guess my only other suggestion would be adding a hover state/rollover to the work. the image of the shoe tells me nothing until i click into the detail page. if you were to bring just this content
"Shopa – Shopping Made Social
For: Shopa Ltd
Role: Creative Director, UX, Product Director"
to your main portfolio page that would help.

Looks nice overall. I'm viewing on quite a wide screen and can't help but think that the case study images should be next to each other (rather than stacked) to use my screen space more efficiently.

Don't think there anything to critique yet to be honest. Couple of things... site took ages to load over here. https://imaketools.wordpress.com…
You really plan on having bis ass images like that? 7MB PNGs? Hope you plan on setting up a bunch of smaller images per project. Needs a little more something. Site is visually pretty plain and not in a good minimalist way. And is there search function necessary? Needs to go imo. Also are all those social media icons important? It's pretty templety.- Yes I shall be breaking up the images into smaller sections.
Only really wanted critique on the portfolio pages as the rest is incomplete.
Thanks!Kiko - if that's the case... I'd have multiple columns for the projects and not one single column. Maybe a lil info over each of the project's images.VectorMasked

The logo doesn't seem to match the web layout.

Two projects? It's hard to find the actual design work on your site.
The opening page looks like you take pictures of women's shoes.
- bainbridge0
Your handdrawn logo looks out of place, but I like it. Do you do more like that? Could make the site more fun.

If you didn't take those photos, don't put them first.
- detritus1
Useage of case studies and describing material benefits, etc, is a smart move over simply posting pics and saying limply "I made this". Good show. I need to do this for my work, I think - really spell out the benefits clients have had from doing business with detritus.
I like the logo and feel it works well mixed with the modern clean aesthetic otehrwise.. .although I think the modern clean aesthetic otherwise is a *little* too spartan, a little *too* much like an out of the box boilerplate theme.
I don't hate the mixing of link types in the main menu as Set does, but I do agree with him that it needs to be made clear it's an email link.

• Home - add an image in the brand box/hero black area
• About Me - add an image in the brand box/hero grey area
• Get rid of the "Search" feature, it's an overkill and is not needed
• Add a photo of "Set" and add his feedback in the Testimonials
• Be sure to include a photo of yourself with a full QBN hipster beard- read better utopian. He asked for portfolio feedback then linked to the portfolio page.monospaced

Thank you all for some great ( and some creative ) feedback.

Nice stuff. A little something I noticed..
you capped the "C" in customer on about page. Was that intentional? Maybe to highlight the importance of the customer, but I don't think it needs to be capped.
"from Customer centric design,"

the client / role / the project info at the start of each project is good but I'd split those over two columns. Info left, details right. At the moment, at desktop size, the line-length is 25+ words.
Tightening up typographic details in general would improve things. Nice stuff otherwise.
- Thank you Fax, Not sure how much customisation I have with a WP site. Ill give it a go!Kiko

The iPhone "screen shots" in shopa look a tad pixelated when viewed on iPad

I dont understand the coffee fire pic at all. I also agree with the comments about the shoe. I wasnt expecting mobile design.
A rollover might help.
Images need to be sliced.
Not much else to critique. Does feel templetly wich could be a problem if youre in ui ux design.
- meffid1
Has it changed?
I click an image and it shows me some text.
What am I missing here?
- Kiko2
I made the changes you pointed out. No Search, smaller thumbnails, rollovers.
I shall slice up the images when all is done, fix copy and add images where appropriate.Plus I added half another case study.
Thank you all again!
