I closed it fast. I didn't even bother thinking about the why or the how.

background text is annoying as hell. distracting and a bit pointless, in my opinion. But i do like the site besides that. I think it works really well as a gallery for his images, and makes me want to flick through it. The option to view the images at different sizes is good too (rare you see that with a photographers folio)... which is nice

I think that the site is very busy and that is a distraction from the work, which is a shame as the photography is undoubtedly brilliant, I also think its very generous of Jason Tozer to offer such large files and the full screen shows how detailed his work is.
I am a fan of MCP and build, however the site overwhelms Jason's work, which is surely a disappointment.

Well i don't like that custom font, but thats subjective.
I don't like the repetitive name in the background, but thats subjective.What i do like is the innovative way the wordpress template is used & that you can see pictures full screen & the gorgeous work of Tozer.

I like (having started the thread) that this is developing into a discussion on our value as designers.
Jason Tozer approved his site design. But some of us, as designers expected a little more from Build.
Subjectivity. It rocks.

must_dash if that were the case there would be no point in any of us having jobs. If the only determinant is a clients request list then where does the design come into the equation?

I'd like it without the background image, it just renders the descriptions illegible without highlighting them.
Don't have any problems with the nav etchowever the photography is excellent

Must_dash... it's blindingly obvious common sense.
If text is obscured and unreadable because of a background image, get rid of the background image.

Always funny how these crits just boil down to 'get rid of the background, change that colour' ... what are they founded on? If you were the client then you get to say that, not as just a commentator... otherwise you're criting the site as though it was for you.

Get rid of that stupid background and the site would be fine.
The photography is the main event... the background 'typography' actually makes it almost impossible to read the project descriptions.
