I stumbled on this early this morning, and immediately fired up Little Snapper in order to add this one to the library.
The entire site is beautiful, but I was particularly impressed by the genius idea you will see illustrated below. An end user or casual browser such as myself can very easily narrow projects by discipline using the navigation to the left. For instance if you click “web & interface design” the portfolio is narrowed to only those selections matching the criteria. The matching pieces remain at 100% visibility while the pieces that do not fit the criteria sit quietly behind a darkened overlay. All pieces remain completely interactive and can be viewed at the click of a mouse. On click a full size image gently slides down into view with a short client/project brief, again keeping all of the additional portfolio pieces in view while focusing on the chosen piece.
This type of creative thinking and innovation is really what motivates me to keep at it day after day.

I would like to apologize to Jan Tonellato, the owner of the wonderful site featured above. I received/approved your comment and greatly appreciate you taking the time to stop by. Unfortunately my hosting company was experiencing some minor issues at the time which caused me to lose your comment in the shuffle.
I’ll say it again, it’s a beautiful site and an excellent showcase of your work.
No matter,
thank you again for posting about my site.
All best,
JT
Hi Jeremy,
I’ve improved the interface as I found it lacked in rollover feedbacks, and some users did not understand the details opening/closing system.
Now on each “project card” there is a generic rollover effect and a specific rollover effect when the detail in opened to signify the 2nd click will close the project details.
I’d be glad to have your opinion.
Best regards.
