This was my degree major project, I'm not particularly happy with it but I do think there is potential to keep pushing it and maybe a redesign after it's been marked.

I'm happy with the name and brand, simple and original.

I'm not happy with the rest of the site (it was rushed).

Any thoughts are welcome.

try to get more structure into the different elements - it looks too out of shape...

Can you be more specific?

cheers,

yes, of course

what i meant is, that all the different elements of the site don´t look like they would belong together - it looks rather like a typical blog-site: design structure is missing.

I love the idea of the site, but there are a few things that could make it feel more 'official' if you will. Most websites have a 'banner' at the top, which you have, but it's functioning as an explanation tool as well. Maybe have a larger generic banner with the logo on top, and below that have buttons to click on for the explanation (you already have this, but maybe the hierarchy is confused..I'm not sure).

I like the idea of showcasing someone (ie. tomas from belfast), so maybe move that to a different part of the grid.

As for the legibility, if you plan to stay on the site and read for a long period of time, I would consider changing the background colors. White on black is really hard on the eyes, so maybe dark letters on a little (gray maybe) background.

Great job, though. Far superior to my html skills.
