    Good stuff man!


    I kinda wonder if it should be a little bit wider? There is so much wasted space on the left and right of the main content part, which makes all the thumbnails really small!

    I like that you have everything on the front page and it's not cluttered at all. Good stuff!

    Where has the cool source stuff gone you did years ago, I Still think that was good and worth showing. And great job on the Rome assets dude! Shame about the game though.

    I think it may be because I'm using IE, but the titles of Crasher and Arthur and the Invisibles are on the left side wrapped a few times.

    I think the navigation could be simpler, maybe by moving all your works to the front page (even if you still keep professional and personal separate). Get rid of the drop down menus too, they look super old school

    Okay my quick feedback is this:


    I have seen your stuff. It's very good.


    Upon viewing the page I didn't get the "wow"-feeling I should. It's like your work is framed in a not-too-appealing way, if you know what I mean? For example, if I try to ignore the site and only look at the "Crasher" thumb, it looks really good. But in the context of the page, it looks more dull than it should. And if you are mass-applying then I think this is super important. Otherwise your folio could be overlooked by a recruiter.


    For example, here we have three gentlemen who's portfolios bring their art out excellently imho:

    Yeah, bigger thumbnails!

    I'd suggest:

    - moving the project's names to inside the thumbnails to avoid using unnecessary space.

    - Changing the background colour. IMO, that light grey doesn't help to highlight your thumbnails. I prefer a dark background, but as Puddy pointed above, there are portfolios with light backgrounds that are able to highlight the images too. Maybe my suggestion would be to stick to a dark or a light background instead of using both ("dark background with light grey background behind your projects").


    My first reaction was that the font size was too small, but maybe that's good.


    Good work

    Clicking on a preview shot to just see the same sized image makes me sad. If I'm going to click on a preview, it's cause I want to see it in higher res!

    When I'm looking at the screenshots the captions are incredibly tiny. Up that font size
