You should try play with the navigation and the placement of your logo. Reckon you could do something better like maybe center aligning it and changing the font a little bigger or all caps. Perhaps a bit like - this. Maybe hide the previous and next image text too so you just click the image. Just minor things but I think it'd tie it together soo well - other than that it's great!

You've actually hit on what stopped me from center aligning the navigation originally (the prev/next buttons). I felt like they pulled everything together quite nicely, but I completely agree that the nav can feel quite awkward left aligned, especially on the home page.

I'll have a think on what to do with the prev/next buttons. I dont ever use them but feel they are important to have, merely to show that there is more work to be seen within the project. Maybe ill get it in with the project description stuff. I'll post up the results once my internet quits being a whore. Thanks a bunch for the feedback, its really appreciated!

And thank you starryeyez, means a lot!

Looks good, where in Aussie are you living?

Thanks dude. Im in Adelaide at the moment. Pretty nice place! But im searching for jobs around Melbourne, think I need a more energetic city to live in.

p.s. I gave the centered nav a try out. Because of the even number of thumbnails horizontally, the type underneath them really throws the centered navigation. The logo on its own looks great up in the center, but that also made the whole thing look wonky when entering the projects. Think ive shot myself in the foot slightly creating borderless imagery!

I'll keep having a play as i was never entirely convinced with the nav, but if anyone has any other suggestions, im all ears.

Clean, professional, practical, sexy, etc.

great work man.

You could try something like this. Just a 1-2px line at the top under the nav to show "this is the width of the content". I used blue just because of the animations, but I think a light grey would work well too. I also condensed the header a bit in the height, because adding the line makes the header look overly large since it separates the header from the content.

I appreciate you taking the time to have a play, and can definitely see where youre coming from. Cheers! I'll mull everything over while i add some things/get an interactive folio together, and come back to it.

Really like it; nice, clean site which doesn't distract from your content.

My only suggestion would be to think about increasing the type size. I just feel it would make things a bit more readable, especially where you've got some grey-on-grey, lower contrast stuff.

Why thank you mr wolf! Some of the type started bigger originally, think I knocked it down for the aesthetic. Going to revert back and have a look at it.

No problem! I totally understand the appeal of small type with this kind of design, it does fit the aesthetic; just something to think about in terms of accessibility and clarity for all visitors.

I think my year in branding has lead me to rebel in my own identity hahah. You raise valid points for sure, I may just have to concede defeat :P

I havent started yet, merely had a browse around for studios id like to work with. Going to try and do something a little special with an interactive portfolio and send that around. Luckily ive worked with and got along with a fair few aussies, so im planning to rinse those connections for all they're worth to get some interviews lined up (fingers crossed!).

I really like the layout of the logo and nav that youve mocked up. Im going to try and break the logo out of the grid, have it outside of the container in a fixed position. That way I can align the nav closer to the type on the left hand side, hinting at the grids layout without having to be so precise.

All empty words till my internet is working again though. This dongle makes me want to kill.

ZHey man, you still in Adelaide, I am thinking of holidaying to melbourne soon, great city, great vibe
