Portfolio Facelift

Nate Broach

Hey folks, Im getting ready to start applying around and gave my portfolio a much needed facelift and added all my recent work. Would love to hear feedback! Is it clear enough that the buttons are buttons and not just banners? Does it look right in you're browser? design sit well with you? Anything would be helpful! Thanks guys!

Hey Nate, looking great! Nice work in your portfolio! Website design is nice, only thing bothering me "Home Blog Resume" - font too big or maybe put them to the left..or its just me )

Simple design, large easily accessible images and e-mail visible. Looks great to me. No problems in Chrome.

Solid work too by the way.

looks good to me, it seems a shame that the pics of the plane can't be clicked for larger versions, the versions you have are a bit small. otherwise, looks good!

I like the simplicity and it's easy on the eye.

If your worried the images not looking like buttons do a mouse over effect which is a simple indication that it's clickable.

Also I would change the email you have on the top bar 'cynicalstudios@gmail.ccom' into a 'mailto:' link so potential employers can easily contact you rather than having to remember it and then type it in, not that its particularly hard to remember but for the sake of making things super easy it's definitely worth looking into imo. Same goes with your resume page.

Looks great! I really enjoy the texturing.

Love the site, I think it looks great.

I would add a title to all of the banners, as you did with the towers and old stuff.

Textures and polygon counts would be nice for the towers.

Thank you for having a web-friendly resume! You might want to add links from the game images to the web site for the games. On a very minor note, add spaces between the hyphens and the dates for your experience and add a space between Nov and 2007 on the last entry. I'd indent each list after the title ("Skills and Competencies" and "Education").

Your title bar is very nice, and consistent across the pages, but I'd move the text up a pixel or two so the white from the bottom of the characters doesn't run into the white of the border.

Thanks a lot everyone! I made some of the changes suggested here. You may have to refresh the page if its not looking right the first time. I think the cached website wont update unless you do...or something.

Aphex: Thanks, I changed the e-mail to a mailto link. Good thinkin! Also added a download link to my resume.

DWalker: Thanks a bunch for the feedback! I made a few of the changes you recommended. Mainly on the buttons, and resume. I think Ill still go back and add titles to the other buttons too.

mr_ace: Thanks man! I may go back and make bigger images. I've been wanting to add some animations to the rat bird. If I go back, Ill definitely make it so you can access bigger images. Also your clothing sculpts kick ass. Huge fan of your Zbrush work.

Everyone else: Thanks for the kind words! means a lot.
