Yeah man, that's pretty damn hot. I think my only critique is that I love the logo but then when the navigation loads everything is slighly blurry. Not sure if that's on purpose or if it's compression? If it is on purpose i would recommend that you at least have something that is not blurred in frame so it's a hint that it is on purpose.

I noticed the site crawls a little on my older computer, I'll have to test it on my powerbook.

Otherwise, looks hot, great color and composition and that logo is killer. Where'd you study?

oh and another thing, maybe the "loading" bar doesn't need to be attached to the mouse, just somewhere stationary with the same raised effec (with shadow)

Nice site, it went a little slow and I flound navagation on the main page a bit trying. But the graphics and Flash work were awsome and I liked the transitions.

I'm on a slightly older Mac at the moment, and it was really choppy. I also found the navigation to be a bit frustrating - no back button in the contact page, etc... additionally, some rollover would be nice on the main nav system, as it's a little difficult to distinguish what exactly is going to go somewhere, and where exactly it is going to go.

Nice job though. :thumb:

its REALLLY choppy for me and i'm running a pretty good system. i love the feel to it and the execution of it but the usability is abit off.

Looks good, but the mouse following action gets annoying after a while (you should be able to turn that off), some of the transistions take a little too long and I would say that would run really slow on low/medium end machine, it chugs a little here and this is no slow pc, you should benchmark it and knock the image quality down a little.

Usability needs some work and it's choppy for me (my system's pretty good though). The loader definitely needs to be stationary. Overall, it just doesn't really fit together for me. Good work though. :D

[darkducduc]

i just uploaded a new version with faster transitions. and smaller file sizes.
the menu system i have to think about more. but thanks for the advise.

i did't study any were i'm completely self taught!

Still very choppy here. :puzzle: 1GHz Powerbook G4. I'll test it on my workstation later.

[Esherido]

I was download the PTR for WoW yesterday, and now that I'm not doing that it's no longer choppy, and I'm also running iTunes, which drags down my system big-time. But still no choppiness. :)

[darkducduc]

another update. i didn't realize it but when i made the mouse follower code i forgot to stop the code when not visible. so the code was running the whole time. so it works a little faster now.

[Esherido]

It's much faster now. Looks even better since it's not so slow and choppy anymore. Good work. ;)

DUDEEE OMFG im like bleeding with joy :P lol i love the style of this site somthing like the nav was what i was planning on my future portfolio LMAO but urs is like soooo much better

Very original and nicely done.

I would do without the first page - The links, graphics and arrangement of the second page are very effective, so I don't think that having the first page really serves any purpose. I also had trouble getting into the site. I kept trying to click on the word "Enter" and nothing happened. I had to click away from the word enter to get in.

I also don't like the quake effect and the red star - they are like the effects that people add to sites just because they can. They don't blend in with the feel of the rest of the site, especially the awards and portfolio pages- where the even more interesting effects just seem to belong there.

im not sure if its just me, but i keep getting the 'some actionscript in this movie is causing the player to run slow'. i really dont know where its happening or why, but it happens every time, and im running a bloody good system.

Windows Media Center

Love it! I was very impresed with the design and the site, and everything it had to offer. Great job.

once i open a project the site becomes very chopy and slow. otherwise its got a really nice feel to it. grats
