It’s okay, nothing special stands out for me. Took me a good while to realize that the projects titles were in the script typeface on the bottom left, not too legible though that’s for sure.
Nice site for sure. And cool idea taking the onscreen photos. My only qualm is that the images could have been optimized significantly better. Each of the project screenshots are like 400k — no need for that at all. You can get a screenshot like that down to 60k without any noticeable quality loss.
I think this website is beautiful. The jquery may be slow, but it looks like typekit is to blame for some of that loading time–I see 8 separate http requests for otf files plus javascript–but this site overall feels very fresh. You can’t say that very often now that so much forward design is really just grid system + gradients.
browsers still can’t render images bigger than the actual window size in a fast and smooth way.
i was using supersized for one of my projects but i observed that slowness has nothing to do with supersized or jquery. it’s about browsers. scaling images without aspect ratios fastens the process but lacks visual quality.
i solved the problem using a flash movie for backgrounds, but i’ve gotta say, i wasn’t a fan of it.
other than this, this web site is well-designed. except navigation.

Nice idea taking photos of the content on screen.
Work is displayed well and easy to navigate. Only slight niggle for me is that the jQuery feels a little clunky.

Amazing site..so cool…I don’t have a problem see this images..even are so big! Nice work!
very beautiful. the backgrounds that stretch and everything.
I thought it was made in flash at the first sight.
The navigation is a bit mystery meat, but the site stands out of the loads of crap here.
