fluidcore.net - The new home of my portfolio - Need feedback

[Deathdart]

Hey!
I, along with my brother, have been working on designing and developing a new portfolio website for myself for several weeks now and I'm glad to announce that it's finally done and uploaded! Please have a look at it here:

fluidCORE - Graphic Design Portfolio of Abhay Singh

Any feedback, suggestions, comments, criticism and bug reports would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Abhay

It's a good site. It's interesting that the site itself is so muted, while the work you display on it is so vivid! It works well to highlight your portfolio pieces.

I did notice a pronounced window shake as each portfolio item loaded in the expanded view window. Personally, I found it very distracting. Other than that I really liked what you've done.

I like the monotone. But be consistent in ur typeface: the words "© 2008, Abhay Singh. All rights reserved. Developed by Akshay Singh. Hosted by MediaLayer" will look better in sans serif I believe.
2) Would you like to try something else to replace the borders? a shadow maybe.
30 why are the color of the button "featured projects" different from others? It pops but there is no link at all.
Overall, nice job

@slbergh: Thanks for the feedback. We'll try to correct the issue. And I'm really glad you like it!

@a9609067: The footer text was made to be a smaller heading than the rest... but I guess making it sans serif does make more sense; I'll do that today. The "featured projects" thing is not a button but a title for the lower section of the page, so there's no link on it.

Nice site design, and interesting color use

My only comments are that on the featured logo page, the table with "© 2008, Abhay Singh. All rights reserved. " is higher up than on the rest featured pages.

And I would like some short information about all the pieces, but that'll maybe be a future project. Beacuse you have so many amazing pieces

Oh, and maybe you should remove the "previous and next" button in the sections that don't need it. Example: photography & print design. Otherwise I just want to click them, without effect

hey Abhay nice website & portfolio as well.

But as I guess, two things need to be modified in UI :-

1. You have shown down arrow (triangle) in portfoilio tab only - it is bit confusing whether visitor is in that section or what? I understood you have given special treatment to this tab but still think on it.

2. "featured Projects" as mentioned by dotFreya. it looks like a saperate tab.

else is really cool...keep it up!

@dotFreya: Thanks a lot! The previous/next buttons will be gone today, I think. I'll be trying my best to add a little description to every project over time, it's just a bit too much for me to do in one go. I'm not exactly a very big fan of writing.

@ideamaker: Thanks! The portfolio button was originally supposed to be a drop down menu, hence the down arrow. I had forgotten to remove it, thanks for reminding And Yeah, I am trying to figure out what to do with the featured projects title, it seems confusing to a lot of people :|

Hey, I've implemented most of the suggestions I've got here, please have a look and let me know if you'd like to suggest anything further

working now on my own page, and I like yours as well, wondering what you used to create yours? Also I like the contact, but there is something about the phone in the corner, looks a bit like clip are and does not really fit anything else on the site. Maybe its just be, but I like it otherwise.

[Tressley]

Looks really clean. I like a lot of your logo ideas.

[Rage of Reason]

Very good site. Loads fast, excellent layout. The portfolio is of splendid quality and very diverse. The modest presentation is a magnificent contrast to the skilled and colorful logo art. I think you and your brother did a very nice job!

[rapanui]

Very nice site and the work displayed is of great quality.

I agree with slbergh, the color scheme really works in your favor and helps highlight your work pieces.

It's a good site. It's interesting that the site itself is so muted, while the work you display on it is so vivid! It works well to highlight your portfolio pieces.

I think a link to the live preview of the sites featured in the web design section would be nice.

Anyway great work, you and your brother can be proud : )

nice site, very intelligible to all! I like it.
maybe give more contrast between text and background at "About me and this website"
