Just throwing this out there for people to look at...still working on it. I don't know if anyone saw my old one.

Tell me what you think...still need to finish the portfolio section, add loadbars, sounds, etc.

i would reconsider the grey background. the whole site's color scheme is too flat looking so i would try to add some texture or something to break up the long flat planes.

make the menu button in each section a little more obvious and maybe make it an actual menu.

there's just not much in the site that stands out aside from the menu. the thing that holds the portfolio is pretty nice looking and i'd consider using it in your other sections. i'd explain your navigation for your portfolio with rollovers because the new media navigation is confusing.

sorry if i sound harsh. i think you have some good ideas, but you don't maximize them. what you have is a decent start, but your footer is how your site should look.

the flatness and cleaness of the site is intentional. It's a style preference but thanks for the comments.

I take it the site is rec for a 1280 x 1024 screen? cos it was pretty wide. I found the rollover effects great...but the vector cover up's on the rollout you created in flash kind of made the effect lose its 'greatness'. The transitions were good, although you only had transitions when going to a section, not from a section back to the main menu.

On another not you seem to be experienced with a large array of progs.

Good.

I didn't use any vector on the mainpage. The rollout is just rewinding the mc which is jpgs. I would like to make some kind of transition back but something more simple. Those are the polishing touches i need to add.
thanks
