Jason Mojica - Designer (**updated** 10-7-2010)

I voted for #3, but I think it can be even better if you put the thumbnails in a 2x2 square to the right of the banners, and then squish the banners together like you did in #2. If you shrink the banners some, you could even get them all to fit without scrolling. This way you get the quick glance overview 2 provides with the extra taste of media 3 provides.

But I'm a programmer without a portfolio who is easily entertained by shiny things, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I voted for #2 because I like the simplified overview. It's easy to navigate and your great work is clearly defined. I'm not a big fan of your "Japanese style" design but it's ok as long as it presents you.

#1 and #2 are nice

I prefer 2. Clean and simpel. The third one is a bit to much.

I voted 2 as well, saves the scroll wheel when looking down the page, whilst still presenting your projects well.

I like the third one, although it lacks the zoom feature on the small screens like in #1, and the top menu's red bar is displayed on the same line as the text instead of right under (using the latest firefox)

3rd one is a bit cluttered, it would work if it wasnt as busy.

I'd go for Layout 02

#2 definitely. I hate not being able to tell what I'm going to see before clicking a thumbnail (#1) and #3 feels too cluttered.

I also think all gallery pages should be like this: http://www.generalvivi.com/levels/source_maps.html definitely a lot easier to navigate, I hate thumbnails!!

Yep, no one clicks thumbnails anymore. When I see a gallery with like 10 thumbnails on it, i end up clicking on 2 or 3 and skip the others. Whereas with all the content on one page, i only need to scroll down and i actually end up seeing everything.

Looks good to me! Thumbnails are big enough to not need to look at them fullsize unless you really want to, so that's cool. My one little niggle for your whole site so far though is that you don't write it anywhere except in your resume that you're a Level Designer/Environment Artist. Looking at your site the first time and at the screenshots you posted, I wasn't sure what kind of position you were looking for. You should maybe write what was your position for each game as well? Unless that falls into updating the rest of the site after layout approval =P.

Change the font in your resume section to something other than times new roman. it looks balls

I am not sure but did you saved your images for the web? The site is kinda loading slow.

Always, always ALWAYS check to see if your site works in Internet Explorer! Almost 50% of people use it, and right now it looks like the menu text is a bit knackered in IE8... looking more closely i see you used PNGs which are a bit ropey in IE.

Unfortunately, Rob's right. Even though IE is a huge pain in the arse you can fix your site using conditional css and HTML so that you can get the site working properly in IE but still have it remain the same in anything else.

For instance, you could add this to the head of your html.

So if the browser is IE it'll load up that stylesheet in addition to your normal stylesheet. Then, for the empty IE stylesheet, you can start to add the classes which are causing issues and tweak them until the site at least looks functional.
