ps- its a graphic design site so im looking for feedback on the designs rather than the layout.

The designs on the website are fine (the posters, business cards, etc.).

However, the site itself is unappealing. To me it looks more like it's designed for a weblog of some deviant art guy, then a serious company. Now, I'm not saying it's ugly, the contrary, because I like it.

There's just something about that first impression it makes that feels generic. But then again, the stuff on the site is real nice.

 

P.S. - in your portfolio, the image-link in the "covers" section of Loud.Beats, the black one with Ice Cube, is dead. You might want to fix that.

You need proper thumbnails up in this hizzle. My P-Comp don't appreciate having to download whack full-sized images, bro.

I only even viewed your site so I would have a viable reason to quote Opius's post, and comment on it's hilarity.

 

That being said, I also agree with his comment about the thumbnails. Some of us are still stuck on a prehistoric dial-up connection. That being said, the few images I clicked on weren't bad, I especially like the one DeNiro poster.

The designs are excellent if a little samey.

The content, designs and coding all look very nice.

But I'll try to give some tips on the site.

 

Overall, the site looks too dark.

Try to use a background pattern to fill up the big black open space.

Make the design bigger, it looks like an old design because it's pretty small.

This is my personal opinion, but I prefer brighter websites.

I'd put the menu/navigation on the left.

And use buttons (make them in photoshop) for your menu.

The two things that I should definitely change are:

Create a bigger design.

And fill up the big black background with a pattern maybe, or a brighter color.
