Like:-Overall Layout is clear and concise/simple-Navigation bar remains constant at all levels-Contact information is very clear-Load Sequence of projects is very interesting, and looks great when done-Large thumbnail images -Simple project description on each page; not too distracting and a good balance of images and text Don't Like/Needs Improvement-Page is too simple when you first open it; looks like there is information missing-Projects load too slowly-When you first load a project, it defaults to a blank box, rather than automatically loading the first image -Could be helpful to have a thumbnail image associated with each project to give a quick glimpse/overview -Overall, the site could be a little larger; only fills a small portion of my screen.

What I like... - Branches that come out from bigger titles - Easy to jump into the other work images and to come back - Clear organization of works with proper details What need to be improved... - PDF file rinks on the left and top make me confused and give less impact on the main manu on the bottom - Taking a little time to show related images - Since worked by Flash, web address doesn't change when I move around on the web site

pros: well made, good use of flash(?), background element adds interest Cons: animation too fast, featured work seems too focused on one type,

Likes: -the way those images fade in/ out -the contrast between the characters(light gray) and the background(white) -two languages are available; ENG and JP -you will see his latest product through flash player, entering the website. Dislike: -another window will be brought when you try to get in the website, which is annoying. -the most important contact information, email addresses have liter color. -strange music

Likes: 1. Uses mouse tracking to navigate horizontally, which is fun and interactive 2. Clean look--fonts work well together (only 2 or 3, which keeps it simple) 3. Client info is clear, and makes it clear what the author of the website does. Dislikes: 1. I don't understand the significance of the numbers at the top of the page (why they're out of order, and why there's only this selection being shown...) 2. The author of the website could use a copy editor.....there are some grammatical and sentence errors. 3. Flash scroller is a bit jumpy after page loads various items....

A template based flash website builder.

One question that I had in mind had to do with layout and design, and how to come across with a unique portfolio (no matter what type of work one is trying to convey) without looking like a carbon copy. I found Wix, a free website builder with templates that have enough details to attract any time of business cliental.

Logical horizontal navigation bar, wide range of work demonstrates abilities, Projects provide the right amount of information Slide show on home page flashes too fast, contact and downloads page too redundant, it takes too many clicks to get to the images of a project

Projects provide the right amount of information, wide range of work demonstrates abilities, Horizontal navigation bar is easy to use It takes too many clicks to get to project images, site loads too slowly, About page is hard to understand

Pros: 1- The projects are expressed in a clean and direct way- no flash to divert attention. 2- The photographic grey background works well with each project color palette and offers continuity to the site. 3-Easy to navigate. Cons: 1-The main page image changes and some images obscure the wording for selecting categories. 2- The project descriptions are inserted with white background and jump off the page. 3- I feel like there might be a more emotive font that is more in line with each project's feel.

3 things I found appealing about this portfolio: I liked the captivating image for the backdrop. It's the first thing that catches your eye, and links an immediate and strong message to the audience.  I liked the simplicity of the text and the drop down menu options.  I liked how the quote on the home page. 3 things I did not find appealing about this portfolio: I thought there could have been a bit more color to the portfolio I wanted to see more testimonials A map to the location of the business would have been helpful
