Coded it myself if you don’t mind me mentioning - ahhh the pains, the struggles and the satisfaction of it all.

Would love to hear what you think!

    @Allison Tanenhaus thank you so much Alison all really good points I didn’t notice! Will work on those definitely.

    I can see you have a very keen and articulate eye for design.

    Hi Oliver,

    Nice work I can really tell you were gicing some thoughts for it. I particularly like how you can articulate your thinking process. One thing in Google it shows as a not secured site so I would recommend to solve that one as it can put off quite a few people.

    Totally amazing, Oliver! Each of your projects is brilliant and inspiring. (Particularly love the sand stencil.)

    Just a few suggestions:

    1) LinkedIn at the bottom is missing the "e"

    2) I would move "Video Village" to the very bottom of the homepage while it is "Coming Soon." (Once it's live, you can move it back.) Since it's at the top, I immediately want to click on it and am the disappointed that I can't, which is a frustrating way to start things off.

    3) I don't know if you need the "Featured" area up top. It sorta clutters up the existing text navigation, and it seems like everything that's on the main page is featured, just by nature of being in the spotlight?

    4) On your "Services" page, a few misspellings:
    • After Affects should be After Effects
    • Film making should be one word: filmmaking
    • Same with Light Room: Lightroom

    5) Also on "Services," I'm not sure about that line break in the first column. I'd reconfigure so the first column is services and then the second one is software.

    So, first column:
    • Art Direction
    • Brand Strategy
    • Creative Concepts
    • Brand Identity
    • Printing
    • Filmmaking
    • Environmental
    • 3D Design
    • Packaging
    • Digital Design

    Second column:
    • Photoshop
    • Illustrator
    • InDesign
    • Blender
    • Premiere Pro
    • After Effects
    • Audition
    • Lightroom
    • Html + Css

    Then you'll have fewer chunks, and they'll be more logically consolidated.

    All in all (OLI'n OL? lol) fantastic job!!!

    @Mark Alexander ahhh thanks for the feedback Mark, it means a lot, yea I agreed I do think it would be worth while adding more process in there, I’m maybe being too cautious or “fearful” of making it feel like it might take up too much space and time but thank you for your input!

    You killed it man! This is great. I enjoy how clean and minimalistic it is. There's a really nice contrast between the sterileness and how tactile and textured your work is. The white space is evenly paced and you're able to really focus on the work. My only critique is to consider incorporating more in-depth documentation of your creative process.
