Feedback on my new company portfolio.

[Adobemedia]

Hi, I already posted this on Flashkit, but I decided that I'd post it here to.
I need as many comments as possiable.

the logo looks jagged, there's a part in the sound loop which has the transitioning wrong, but the color's man! i love that combination!

[danulf]

doesn't work for me... I just get a gray square...

[Adobemedia]

Thanks. I did the logo in flash, and I will replace it with a better one. I will check to sound loop. Do you like to site all togeather?

You need flash player 8 to view it.

[danulf]

I have flash player 8....

[Adobemedia]

Hmm. What are you using? IE or FF.

[danulf]

I use avant, but it's basically IE, only safer...

Is there an option to turn the music off? Kind of annoying. Maybe some transitions between the different sections would be good. Nice use of colors.

[BoonDock]

It's ok, need a stop for the music.

color ok... everything else bad.

typography is horrible and no were near indicative of a designer. the very first time i opened up MS Word... that's exactly what it looked like.

music is absolutely gut wrenching, and whats more you can't mute or stop it. it's the type of music that gives sites that want to use music a bad name.

your trasitions, that brown to black, to brown to black... or black to brown... I dunno... however it's supposed to be it's extremely inconsistant.

portfolio... i don't get it... is it supposed to do something besides change text? because it doesn't showcase anything except something you don't even have workin ATM.

navigation transition... WHAT! the box slides allllll the way up the design, it may work somewhere... but it doesn't work here. it looks really tacky IMO that I can see just a floating box that goes through the design.

logo...

what's goin on here chief?

TYPOs there are typos out the wazzoooo on this page.


423interactive started out as a small and tiny webesign company in 2004. We now have developed into a better firm, and have created a few freak'in awsome websites. Let Er'Rip, v3 of our website was he best ever. Hope to see you spend some cash!
Hmmm... from the looks of your site... you're still a small company, and doesn't seem very "firmish" and I shudder at what your other 2 versions looked like.

Now... with all that said, if you improve your typography, fix the logo, get rid of the orange glow and inner glow and the side bars on your site... you'll be off to a better start than what you're at now.

Yes sir, and that big red palm print across his face must be yours then.

[antizip]

man ... i dont need the simon cowell voice to tell you what's up. You gotta let me turn off that music and it laggs weird in the beginning. Like simp said typos like crazy. I dig the colors but could use a little more pizzaz.

[Adobemedia]

Ok. The page is horriable. Thanks. Moderators, please close the thread.

Adobemedia...

Let me just say this. Don't take this all as negative criticism. If you really enjoy designing and using Flash, pursue it with all that you've got. Use the forums to learn general design principles and approaches to everything. A lot of what simplistik said had a lot of merit...I know it can be hard to take it all at once. But like I said, if you really enjoy doing this stuff, go for it. Take one piece of your site at a time and work hard to improve it.

Take it as constructive criticism and a way to learn how to do things better. If you don't want people really wailing, say so...
