Any thoughts on the latest Build project? A new portfolio site for photographer Jason Tozer...

- When I say neither, I meant not the site itself, just the x-large images.ximeraLabs

do not like some of the crops on those mercury shots.. other than that, quite ok.
even though most clients want a quick look generally at work, not a full web experience.

Cool. I like how the css file is organised as well.

the work is great. the site experience is okay. the type over type is very distracting...especially when you initially click into the work and still see it in the background. the full screen takeover also seems a bit clumsy. it would sit better if it just expanded over the whole current browser, and if it had a next previous within each section of work.

A nice example of the robustness of Wordpress.

Hmm, I does not like it. Type and layout feel too intentionally clumsy and contrast too much with the photographers work.
But I am just one man with an opinion and a mug of coffee.
- It's very Build.
Not so much about the photographer.juhls

agree with lvl_13 comments about the type in the background being not just very - but incredibly - distracting. I also don't like that the work removes itself a level from the actual website. It also has some unexpected functionality that i'm not quite sure is necessary - the zoom feature.
The work itself is quite nice... but on a whole my assessment is that you put a lot of pretty stuff in an ugly box.

Way to much going on. I like when photo sites highlight the photography. Not the decoration around it.

terrible site experience, IMO. wacky background text. slow loading. strange slideshow.
really nice photog too. shame

I really do enjoy Mike's work_
And have to say I am very surprised to see Andale Mono.I was so sure that typeface died graphically in 1998.

I've got to say I (begrudingly) agree with most of the comments. Usually a massive fan of MCPs work but this just doesn't do it for me. As d-rek says – pretty stuff in an ugly box.
Amazing photography though, especially the bubbles...

Full screen w/zoom (even though I normally DESPISE Flash and Full Screen) = YES. Totally perfect for photography.
Background is plain annoying though, get rid of it, make the photo thumbnails bigger.
Andale woo!

I disagree with a lot of the comments above, I like how the site works and the work is excellent.
- Think most agree, apart from the background type being too distracting from the photographygjd
