Your work is better than your portfolio.

hey i like it, except for the opening/splash copy.
doesn't really make me want to click further "aint the best, but aint the worst" type thing.

Your work is better than your portfolio.

not sure i know what that means, can you elaborate? i was under the impression my work = my portfolio...

the only real big hangup i see, is that your logo pattern isn't random. it loops.
*slap

nice clean design. good use of space and negative space.
you have some really nice work in your portfolio.
i didn't see anything i didn't like.
also enjoyed how you choose to showcase your work.
nicely done.

work is cool. wish I could see it closer up. iframe is jacked, has a bit of a vertical scroll. the horizontal scroll works well.
overall I agree with the dude who said your work is better then your portfolio- meaning, the work is top notch, the site is only ok. makes me wonder why isn't the site on par with the work?

nice stuff and you get bonus points for doing something for Dubtribe.

overall, I like it. nice work.
I just feel the logo and title text would look better black. the orange doesn't sit well with the menu colors.

thanks for the feedback, definitely appreciated...
as for the site, well, without sounding totally lame, i am still a novice when it comes to web... so im always looking for ways to improve (hence this post).
cant figure out the iframe problem for the life of me... loads fine in firefox and explorer (mac) but safar it has a vert scrollbar... but if you refresh the page, it disappears. strange. can't wait to get the hang of css layouts!! im sure that will help tremendously.
thanks again everyone... appreciate all the kind words and advice.

can no one understand that a name random pattern should include random logo motion? i can't believe this nit picky crowd didn't have any response on that.
the work is fab. but the concept doesn't work.
nice work. new url. your name would be stronger.
again. justified. *slaps for all
;)

branding yourself is one of the hardest things to do
makes me think of nopattern .. not that it matters really .. but he set himself up to get knocked with that name.

I find the landing page a little underwhelming - but once I've appreciated the quality of your work, I can see the value in your low-tech/retro approach. First I have to get past that homepage, though.
Ironic when you're showcasing such impactful poster designs.
(= Good shit, not sure about the homepage.)
Is impactful even a word?

Don't really like the font or the size of your menu or logo... to big and too thin.
You also need to do something about the focus on the menu. When you click on a section you end up with a little grey box around it. onFocus = blur? or something...
Work is nice though..
And I woud clean up your contact form, it's a bit all over the shop.

actually wasnt trying to brand myself, just trying to showcase my work.
random pattern is honestly the only way i can describe the projects i take on. seriously wasn't trying to rip on anyone elses name, all respect due...
=)
thanks guys!

"sometimes these things happen quickly,
sometimes they do not."
Lol that is some honesty there..but if I was a prospective client that would make me think twice about hiring you.
- joec0
HAHAHAH!!!
that was thrown in there to prevent me from getting the clients that LOVE to find me...
"we want to pay you half of what you normally get, and we need it in 36 hours"
i've had enough of 'em to last two careers!!
HAHA!!

maybe pre-load your nav item images?
Other than that loved it. Lets the work speak for itself.

you've done some good work, but your type skills both in the work and on the site itself, need improvement...
I think if you made the nav smaller, either same size as your logo type, or preferably smaller and trimmed down the story on the main page it would be more inviting, or just lose it completely. Explaining the rationale of your url, and then explaining a bit about yourself, sorta gives a lot away on the first page. And honestly, it could be a bit more compelling or shorter and wittier...
my 2 cents...
- joec0
great!! thanks for all the feedback so far, folks!! keep it coming.
and about my writing, yeah - i've never been the best writer, but it's not writing im trying to sell... ;) but thank you for the input, it is definitely appreciated.
can someone explain the onfocus=blur thing to me a bit? i would love to get rid of the grey borders on the nav...
thanks again people!!! much appreciated.
