im not criticizing his work because i think he should work differently. im only stating these things because I noticed that just about everyone who posts messages on these boards praise 2advanced. I think its time that someone had to come out and say, hey this guy's work isn't as great as you make it out to be. most people seem to think that graphic/web design is about cool looking web sites. Even the awards that flashkit.com give out in the featured section: there are a lot of cases where they're giving these things out to web sites that just look cool. And this may be because flashkit.com is about cool uses of flash. So in that case there might not be anything wrong with it, but i would love to be there when eric jordan meets with these clients and tells them "i think im gonna throw in some hexagons and circles and squares because it looks interesting and people like it" this isnt helping the company out.

There are a lot of web sites posted in the featured section that when I click the link to go to the site, at first glance I have no idea what this site is supposed to be about. I would have to click on the "profile" section to see what im really looking at. This a good example of bad design. When you visit a web page, you should be able to recognize the voice of the company and know what you're looking at right away, unless the intent was to confuse the viewer to get them to dig deeper - but thats a whole different ball game.
