I spent a lot of time waving my mouse around your site trying to figure out what was clickable or not. Slightly distracting but if this is by design then all the power to you.

I can't seem to get past the intro, when I click 'skip intro' it just starts again from the beginning.

This is what i wanted to ask you! What browser are you using and which flash player do you have? You need to have the latest flash player in order to play I think. Thanks anyway, i will try to find out the problem...

Of course I will tell you when I update it :)

I'm on Firefox and I'm stuck on the intro too. I doubt I have the most current Flash player, I hate updating these things.

yea it works now...very cool. I just have two things... 1. You mispelled October under your work experience. 2. I might be dumb for asking this..but what is a CV?

Overall I think the site is very interesting..definitely different..good work

o sorry..one other thing I just noticed, the left and right arrows on your portfolio page are a little tricky to find, you may want to make them a little more obvious

CV means curriculum vitae

I think the site looks good, the intro movie is a bit slow, could be sped up a bit, and the loading time on your site is large. More so, if this is for a prospective job to view, or random visitors to find, I would think about re-designing it to use a minimum of Flash, and here is why.

Web search engines do not cash information found in flash files, so they will not cinsitantly or continuously link to your site. Busy professionals do not have time to view long loading flash files. Do not make them think, let them visit the site, get what you're selling and allow your work to speak for itself.

It's tough since every prospective employer has different views/ taste but never let your portfolio stagnate, freshen it up, change its look, and evolve, design is never good forever, it goes in cycles, go with it.

Good luck!

the intro moved fine for me. I really really liked it. The "J" turning into a record needle was a great idea! The "r" as a gun shooting a bullet was cool too, even though less original.The animation time was nice, not too long, but because it was so interesting to watch, I would have liked to have seen more. Andmaybe opening the door inside the house and then starting off the main site would have been a cool effect as well.

My only complaint is that everything takes a while to load up. I'm on a business DSL line, and it still took fairly long for each section. So, maybe you should think of ways to cut down your time.

I liked your design portfolio, you have some very nice stuff, I think you need to have a button that lets the viewer see larger versions of everything though.

Other than that, very nice so far.
