"August Studio" first review

Vincent

I'm a French UX Designer and Art Director, originating from Poland and currently living in Canada. I see every project I am involved in as an opportunity to go further, providing my clients and employers with quality materials and a great working relationship.

Overall, the simpleness and the prominent use of nice imagery (over text) contribute to make this portfolio a bold, straightforward and relatively pleasing experience. The site appears well, and loads quickly on mobile, which is appreciated :)

Many details in the UI should be improved though:
- The covers in the home page, in the work page, and in the project page are not the same, and I find it a bit disturbing. And the way to navigate to the project through the covers in the home page and the work page is different (in one, you click on the title, in the other, you have to find the tiny "more" in the bottom.
- In the home page, even if the whole project interacts on rollover (zoom), only the title is clickable. If an element interacts, I feel like the whole element should be clickable, this is my point of view.
- In the work page, it took me some (way too long) time to find the "more" link to the project. And as I said, I feel like the navigation should work the same in the work and in the home page.

Concerning purely visual (and thus) personal consideration, I believe there could be more work in the contrast of the fonts (headings vs paragraph) and the negative space surrounding them. Allow more rhythm in the layout, and maybe a hint of craziness :P

Also beware of Firefox, the overlay when rolling over the covers in the home page is slightly displaced (vertical center), which causes the page to bounce.

The semantic of the HTML structure, and the overuse of spans for the text elements could be improved.

Concerning the content, felt a bit dizzy with the home page cover, but that's fun.
The content is really good, beautiful materials, very good work ;)
