New portfolio site. Still finetuning things. Links to work don't work yet.

[edit:updated link]

Dusteh · 02-03-2006, 04:52

Really digging that... great stuff!

finbarr · 02-03-2006, 05:21

really nice... took a while to find the navigation tho? Other than that pretty much perfect although the background looks familiar

Give that man a dollar. I'm on it.

top stuff, really nice. Mebbe you could make the copy at the top a bit snappier? A mash of work...Digital Mash - bit repetetive, think of sommat else instead of "a mash of work"?

adras · 02-03-2006, 12:40

Awsome stuff mate.

Rakan · 02-03-2006, 15:57

Nice. Very nice.

pgo · 02-03-2006, 16:06

I like it - nice job. One criticism, that green text (the links on the right) is very hard to read for me.

Really like the nav. The blinking gets to me, but it's a solid use of Flash. Also, I've always liked your CSS Zen Garden design - didn't know that was yours.

Transmogrify · 02-03-2006, 18:20

nothing wrong with that at all.. good work.

illvibe · 03-03-2006, 04:13

Suggested changes made...check it
cheers sheepy

Very very nice illvibe. Sweet work.

Dusteh · 03-03-2006, 07:24

Yeah that extra input is bloody great... pirate is the best.

mike_m · 03-03-2006, 07:26

I like it a lot. the winking scared me a little. but then I'm jumped up on large doses of caffiene right now.

pixeljunky · 03-03-2006, 07:42

Gold Star * tres good. If I had to pick anything I'de say the green links need a bit ore contrast but thats being icky picky. I like your style - fresh as a daisy.

There appears to be a typo on your information page:

This is the personal portfolio site of freelance web designer Rob Morris.

Within these pages you can learn a little about Rob, see some of this past projects and get in contact if you're interested in collaborating or perhaps just saying hi. Use the menu above to find your way round. Enjoy.

Thanks to Michael Lovitt, Valerio Proietti, Vojtech Semecky, Dynamic Drive and Lucian Slatineanu.

Other than that, I'm loving it. Great work

I think PGO is right about the green text.. needs to be a little darker.. it's difficult to read but other than that, i'm envious. I've got the unenviable task of making my own portfolio site soon.

Yeah i think you're right. I've darkened it a little. Yeah in general, designing portfolio sites sucks. I've never made one that hasn't felt old in like 5 minutes. This one is pretty wacky, but is designed for me to sell myself as a freelancer/contractor rather than a service for the 'public at large'. I'm sick of having to pull people kicking and screaming into having a semi-decent looking site. Jaded....? You bet.

ps - thanks nonbio for picking up that typo.

Stickman · 03-03-2006, 11:14

Nice.

The links would be better with a block background. They'd tie in with the black backgrounds of the headings and help with the current legibility problems.

Two birds, one stone - bargain.

I know the feeling. I've just redesigned mine and not launched it yet, but I want to redesign it again.
