Site Revamp: EthanMedia

Please let me know if there are any bugs.

I have not built preloaders or transitions for anything yet.

*Edit* Added Preloaders and transitions.

Any feedback anyone?

I see preloaders AND transitions.....am I missing something? I really like the transitions from page to page....good job. The borders you have....with that "torn edges" filter.....filters are way to overused in my opinion. Just a plain line would look 500% better in my humble opinion....

[DariusMonsef]

Thanks for the comments.

Yes I added preloaders and transitions after I first posted.

The torn edge, is just a line choice in flash. I will play with the idea of making it a solid line.

Thanks again.

Hey EthanM :)

I liked the site from the moment I first saw it, but there are some points that can be improved in my opinion:

- Maybe make the top bar a bit more high.
- The bottom part is quite empty ... try to show a logo there or something similar if too much space isn't used
- You should add an outro animation for each section. Right now, they just dissapear. It'll look a lot nicer if you outro animations.
- The fading texts in the images are great :thumb:
- And so are the images :)
- I like the overall feel :)

:)

Thanks for the kind words.

What do you mean "make the top bar more high?"

Hey, I really liked the whole top part with the pictures and the questions, and then the "contact me" "I'm waiting." heh. I have to agree that the torn edges were not doing it for me. I also agree with Voet, the bottom needs some more graphical elements. I really like that top part with the fading text though, great job!

Well now, the letters don't have much space above and underneath them. So try making the red part a bit higher so the buttons are given a bit more space :)

don't ever use 'we' always use the title of your studio when your talking about yourself. that way, you make your studio seem larger... but there is no actual reference to it being big.. we inferrs that there is atleast 2.

[DariusMonsef]

Voets,

Is that the kind of space you are talking about?

[Voetsjoeba]

Yep :) Looks nicer this way :)

[DariusMonsef]

Ok, I changed the border line. It fits now with the whole fashion motif better. What are you thoughts?

Plus, what do you think of the loop?

Thanks

I like the new design, you've got a lot of space for content. I'd probably add some rollovers to those buttons. Apart from that nice.

[Voetsjoeba]

I like the loop :)

As MrG suggested, some outro transitions and rollOvers would be nice :)

[DariusMonsef]

I am working on this as we go. I will get to the outro transitions soon.

I added some mouse-overs.

I added some more text to the site as well, to fill up more of the space and better communicate what it is I do and how I do it.

Cheers

Hi EthanM, I love the feel to this site. I agree with the other on their comments, i would just add a few changes:

On the roll over buttons, (i am guessing it's a tween) you could use action script to give the buttons a more fluid motion (I have a demo here somwhere i could post you).

And also for each section you are on you should render the button for that section with no actions so you don't reload that section when you are on it and maybe change the colur to show that that is the section you are on. (just little things I know, but can make a difference)

Cheers
