In todays session we had to design a web layout what we thought would be best suiting for ourselves to showcase our graphic design work.
I'm not exactly great with layout, it's something i need to work on a lot. My design wasn't anything special and i don't think i explained my ideas very well on the design. There was confusion between links and info so i didn't get great feedback.

Never the less here is my feedback:
-Good layout, each element is easy to see by seperating
-Good use of website area
-Usability is good
-Video idea is great, make sure the user chooses to play it rather than automatically if there is sound
-Simple effective layout
-Sample video on front pages is a good way for audience to see how you work and at their choice
-Nice separation in work

-Links in different places? could be down the side with the rest of info
-Unnecessary scroll bar and links section
-No need for double box
-Not sure if you require all links on the side
-Too many pages
-To generic
