My design portfolio

Hey guys,

I've recently put up a sample of the work I've done over the last year.

Please check it out and let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Thanks

I moved your thread to the Crit Pit as you asked for comments. Hope you have a thick skin. :D

I looked at the HTML version first. I suggest you get a clearer shot of that tattoo. Get him to stand up straight and take off his shirt. like this: http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/spidey_tattoo_1.jpg

The sideways links don't work - I can't read them. The in-category navigation is great - so much better. You even have an arrow telling them which page they're on. Use that.

You've got a stray 't' on your about me page. Look up at the top left. I also can't read past "work in the meantime" because of the absolute positioning.

When I click on "dock" under identity nothing happens and I get stuck.

Flash version:

"Please click on a button below" is bad policy. My first portfolio worked like this. Kill the placeholder and bring the navigation up there, or put your favorite work in that spot. Clicking on your logo brings me back to this page, but it has all the functionality of every other page, without any pics on it. I think you should put something in that spot or make some other page the new homepage.

I think the HTML portfolio, all in all, is much better at showing your work than the Flash one. You've got bigger pictures and it's easier to get around.

Thanks for the comments,

as for the tattoo though, it isn't real. I had to take the picture beforehand and superimpose the tattoo on using various techniques in Photoshop. Unfortunately, I got my Nikon D40 about a week after this project was due, so I just used a point-and-shoot one for that shot.

I've heard a few comments about the sideways type in the html page, so I'll definitely have to do something about that.

Thanks again!

I personally iam not feeling the font ur using for ur about me in the flash site, it looks like u have it set to bold. also the lines that moves up and down when u click something, they should be a little bit tinner and like vanish said that click button below is not sexy. i like ur vision so far i think i know what ur trying to get with that design just needs a little bit of tweeking

Again, very flashy.
