    it looks pretty nice one thing that really bugged me was wanting to see the pictures larger, but nothing happened when i clicked. Also could use some sound. Otherwise good work .

    ok here goes

    - the whole site is too small
    - the hover animation on the button is slow and looks very amateur
    - all the images are very blury
    - the fonts are very blury
    - there seems to be no 'point' to the site
    - there is no colour scheme (apart from the horrid reflex blue colour)
    - the smoke effect from the fly is pointless and slows down the site
    - your portfolio is 'ok'
    - i think that your designs look better in html and adivse you stick too that.

    thats just my two cents

    Okay, I thought n-gen's crits were kind of harsh at first, but having looked at the site, I have to agree, totally. Sorry.

    Some places to start improvements: Increase your frame rate and make those rollovers snappier. Choose a colour pallette and stick to it. Increase the quality of those jpegs, they just look mushy at the moment. Lose the fly and smoke - what purpose do they serve? If you're going to use clever gimmicks, make sure they're well scripted and are genuinely clever, otherwise they're just annoying. Use a more legible typeface.

    As for the rest, I haven't got time to cover it all. I'd get a good book on graphic design, colour theory and layout if I were you.

    It's more interesting that the other one, but it's too difficult to make anything out. If you're trying to sell yourself based on your previous work, you need to make you previous work stand out clearly, other wise is just a mess.

    It's a good start, though maybe it needs a little tidying up?
