I see you cashing in on that national reputation.
One quick suggestion — change the bouncy down arrow icon you're using for "next project". I didn't click on it thinking it meant "download".
I want to dig deeper into some of your work. But how?
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to do some longer case studies, however it's pretty time intensive which I'm currently struggle with, given all the work on my todo list :) Hope I can provide some deeper insight soon. Thanks for the feedback.
Great visual design. However, I thought the down arrow meant to download the project or read more about it. I think at first glance it would be beneficial list all projects you have on your site instead of relying on the user to scroll down to discover it. Also, personal preference but I keep my display brightness pretty low because my eyes are sensitive - might want to increase the contrast on the splash for the grey/white text on dark grey.
I wouldn't have lead with two personal/conceptual projects. The portfolio is awesome, but I'm left wondering how much real world experience you have.
The first project ain't personal. The second project became personal, but was done for a client in first draft.
Have to agree with Brooks here. Not sure why certain design decisions have been made. Also the design/layout of the website is nice reminds me of https://ustwo.com
Loving the work, I also can't help but wish the site was more responsive. Some nice projects there!
Me too, unfortunately that's the only downside to readymag :(
Nice and clean, but not responsive – at least in Chrome DevTools.
It has a mobile view, when I saw it on mobile Safari. You are correct about desktop Chrome though, it does not seem responsive.
It is, you just have to refresh once you set it to an iphone/mobile view
True it's not absolutely responsive. It works on mobile and desktop, however because of the constraints of the readymag tool, it's a little bit limited in terms of breakpoints.
Did you consider Webflow? much better in my opinion than readymag
Yeah I thought about it, but I found my site is too simple for it :D May be next time?
I think it's beautiful, both the work and the site itself. But the grey on black text on the first and last pages are so low contrast that it's inaccessible for people with even minor visual disabilities. Not a dealbreaker by any means because of the white text that accompanies the grey text, but there are definitely a certain percentage of users who will not be able to get the full experience.
Thanks for your feedback. I think it will be good to consider making that a bit more visible :)
