Initial impact – 4.5/5
Technology used is sophisticated, dynamic, appears very suave, sleek. Humorous large mouse cursor appears when using the ‘not to scale’ link.
Quality & range of work – 4/5
High standard of work, lots of content, but is limited to AV work, as they are an AV co. crediting their directors. Employers include Honda, The Mighty Boosh, Volvo.

Four separate areas, and you can access these via textual links, or the graphic links which float around the site – interchangeable. Once accessed, items are presented in a rollable show reel, or links below.
Supporting contextual info - 3.5/5
On the surface, not that much information made available. But going further, there are biogs, details.
Hanging togetherness - 4/5
Sleek, contemporary design, with motion that all flows nicely. Design scheme is implemented throughout – consistent.

Funky, cool, bright, vibrant.
Quality & range of work – 4/5
Web, graphics, painting, video, photography – very good spread. Also, funky style to his work – modern styles.

Typical webpage design. Links to each section on the left, with expanding options. Also, when going from individual item to the next, you can click and it will take you to the next one, rather than having to click back then find and click the next.
Supporting contextual info - 3.5/5
Limited info about each of the individual items, but his biog informs fairly well about himself. There is a blog link so you could find more about his work there.

I like how he’s gone for a punchy vibrant look which is also representative in his work as well – mirrors well. It all is very sleek looking, and well arranged. Only wish that the space he uses to showcase was larger!

Bit wallpaper-ey, colours quite calm, pastels - bland? Nice swirly horizontal divider, maybe a bit “pretty”.

Print (logo, photography, illustration), web. The thumbnails all stick out as bright and vibrant against the pale background, and there is a range of stuff, different styles. Overall, does have quite a matt look to her work, rather than glossy.
Navigation - 2.5/5
One single page, with the sections at different levels down the page. Has included anchors which let you get back to the top, at each section. Some may see as old fashioned, others may see it as being per functionary.
On clicking on a specific thumbnail, a white square appears which zooms to the correct size of the item, blurring out the background in burgundy. Can then click on the image to go to next item, rather than go back and click on the next, user friendly in this aspect.
Supporting contextual info - 3/5
Biog is at the very top, with photograph and introduces the graphic designer well. Tells of her skill set also.
Other stuff could be more in depth, most do what it says on the tin. Can visit some of the websites and find out there. Many, many relevant external links, which you can check out.
Hanging togetherness - 4/5
Slightly alternate format, rather than the animated, jazzy shiny sites we are used to, but there is an inkling of this with the thumbnail loading screen. It goes in one direction (whether this is a good one or not) and more or less sticks at it.
