You have to respect any stu­dio that has Brock­mann and Crouwel posters on their walls. There, an agency based in Aus­tralia, has com­piled an excel­lent body of work.

On a side note: I don’t like how their site func­tions. It’s pretty and all but it becomes very annoy­ing when I have to wait for a new piece to load in Flash. It ends up tak­ing for­ever to see all of the work and I quickly lose inter­est. I also don’t like that you can’t eas­ily see all the work at once, even in thumb­nail form. All the work should be right there and easy to view rather than hav­ing to explore the site in the dark. A good port­fo­lio dis­plays all the work at once, clearly and orga­nized, so it makes view­ing faster and more excit­ing. Area 17 is a great exam­ple of this. Flash is def­i­nitely the biggest cause for this issue. I think it’s being used more and more in a way where it’s become a bar­rier between the user and the work. In my opin­ion a sim­ple CSS site works so much bet­ter for portfolios.

I’m not try­ing to trash There, they do awe­some work, it’s just some­thing I’ve been both­ered with for some time now and needed to vent.
