Nice work. Rollovers would be helpful
- yes. rollovers should def. be added to main nav.lvl_13
- something to indicate the mouse is over them? such as highlighting or scaling?nonerpants
- exactly.lvl_13
- will do. thankssss!nonerpants

at a quick glance it looks excellent. smooth, clean, and right up my alley :)
just one nit, i would say that you could probably do without that spinning box at the very beginning.

super nice way to showcase your work, but the graphic element on the left doesn't do your site justice. that could be infinitely better.
- silentseven0
Come to think of it none of your work has rollovers and yes kill that paint splatter you could leave the blue gradient but the paint splatter thing is a bit garish.
- hmm touche! hah. we will definitely add rollovers to our folio!nonerpants

didnt catch the nav through projects at the top and bottom for a while...took me 3 refreshed to realize.

I love how saturated and lush the colors are. I also like how quick and easy it is to navigate through your work examples. The categories are nice too.
Well done sir! I salute you!

thanks univers! we're looking to take on fun project in '09 and hoping this will pull some in.
(since a few people asked) about the strawberry: it's something i pulled from a series of foods i drew in illustrator years ago. it was originally a cluster of berries but i really liked how one of them looked next to the type - something to covey: cute/playful/sweet/etc. and yes, a bit random for a web firm, but it's become part of our marketing (chocolate covered strawberries as holiday gifts to our clients, etc) and so we've just stuck with it. while we get positive feedback about it all the time, rarely does anyone ask!

good presentation...splat should go - more because it looks like a really bad illustrator job. smooth flash though!

not feeling the splat either. other wise, site works. easy to nav. and the work look good too. :-)
- perhaps those i showed the site to outside of qbn don't mind the splat because none of them are designers :Pnonerpants
