I chose this porfolio as i did some work experience there and i remember spending ages on the site looking at the work despite not having that much interest in packaging design. It has since been updated, but i still think it's fantastic. It seems to be effective in interesting all possible audiences
It shows how dark colours can be implemented well, and i love the off-centre navigation. The navigation headings are also fantastic. The juxtaposition of the peacock with the b&w pidgeons works very well. Something also crossed my mind: the tone of the black is probably about 90% and i remember a graphic design tutor telling me that you should never use 100% black in graphic design as it looks too stark and i'd agree.
The jkr logo has vivid colours running behind it which creates a nice effect, and the transitions between the different pages of navigation is smooths and animated. The list of works is animated and the rollover is a different colour. When you move your mouse off the navigation, it gradually blanks out.
When you click through to a project, the navigation bar moved, and it takes you to an animated backround with the product in the foreground.It just looks clean and professional. It isn't overly complicated and the flash work doesn't take long to load.
