I agree with others that your photography is stronger than the rest of the stuff.

I really like the spacer.gif

HAHA damn you're right. That's funny. I built that damn texture pixel-art style a long time ago, but I knew it wasn't something very original in terms of style. I just wanted a really quick page to put all the thumbnails for my work. I didn't think someone was using exactly the same gray with oblique lines, though.. oh well.

I have to change my name. I can't make a logo out of the 2 initials. It's awkward HAHA

your photo retouching is good - although i was a bit freaked out by the girly lifting the weight when you rollover it really fast she looks demented

Yeah that's the point, that's why the image was modified. To remove the demented look.

ok I have to know one thing, how did Shaun Inman get his header text to look like that on his site?

[pgo]

Probably with his (and others') own handiwork - http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/08/sifr

You are an inexperienced coder and that's it. You can't even do design at all, so stick to the coding forum sections if all you can do is make jealous comments.

Sorry to everyone else about the off topic, it's never pleasant to read something like this in the middle of a good thread. Let's just forget it.

Yeah but I can connect the dots, he's been acting stupid with me since I came into this forum. That wasn't an innocent post. He knows.

Let's just put this aside, I'm sorry I involved the whole thread in this, I should have just sent a personal message.

I reckon you need some more arms length photos of yourself.

Some of the work is good, but I reckon it needs a totally new direction to show off your photography/digi design, even something a radically different like that new Gucci site www.gucci.com that is nicely stripped back but has a good content management and navigation

Keep it really simple and keep it about the work, as nobody gives a monkies about how many 3rd party logo you can fit onto the page.

Thanks Narate. The Gucci site seems inspiring.

The use of 3rd party logos is to me almost like a personal design style, actually. if I had to define my style I'd say it's commercial design, whether corporate or more alternative/dark, like the band/music sites. And corporate logos are certainly the icons with greatest impact that can be used in commercial mainstream design, right?

So I opt to use them not only on my site, to show off the brands supported/used/empowering, to communicate a commercial feel, just like gucci uses the warm browns and controlled curves in their designs, to communicate luxury style for a younger-than-usual audience.

They can be interpreted as an attempt to look professional at first, but when I drop than concept and look again, I just think they're beautiful. They're also a homage to the companies.
