ive still left out the portfolio section of the site

i want to do something really special for that page, have any of u got some ideas.

something really different, i dont even know what i mean so its asking a lot for u to know

**88webmonkey88** · 07-20-2003, 12:56 PM

All i did, was change the glass to look like it had the green behind it.

I didn't use any masks or anything, just some tweaking in Photoshop.

**88webmonkey88** · 07-20-2003, 12:57 PM

You could try using a different glass source file, so it looks like it bends with the shape of the glass instead of making the glass semi-transparent.

its ok ive done it know,

what does everyone think of the site so far

**itworks** · 07-20-2003, 07:22 PM

i like it so far, i think you should use the same font in all content tough, that pixel font would be good, i see you know how to use them now, great

the transparency in the glass is a good idea too and the icecubes would look could in the contact page, by the way call me on msn when you catch me online so i can put you in the right track with the form.

i think your site is comming up very nice and with some more work you can release a very cool site, keep it up.

Looks nice and simple... the loop gets irritating quickly, and some of the images have quality issues... but the glass looks good.

I'm not sure what's going on with the fruit

I had a client that wanted the same thing... I gave him this site. Maybe you can get some ideas??

thanks for the comments dyldebus,

you said: the loops get irritating quickly
and i say: well by the very nature of a loop wouldnt u expect it to get boring after a while?

instead of giving the user a soundtrack like some sites i opted for using a loop. as you would probably also have seen the site loads extremely fast ( 0.2 second on my connection ) and i decided that this was more important than the sounds.

you said: im not sure whats going on with the fruit
and i say: whats going on? its a concept it matches in with the fresh and fruity theme. it matches in with the brand i intend to build. it also ties into the moto "freshly Squeezed media" which was created initally not due to the fruit concept but to the age of the design crew ( 11 - 15)

i like the site you did you your client and would like to know how you took that nice pic.

thanks for the comments and keep them coming

**n-gen** · 07-21-2003, 05:35 PM

hey dylan, i looked in your portfolio and couldnt find that site u made

whats up?

**dyldebus** · 07-21-2003, 06:20 PM

yeah... time to update it.

It's missing a bunch!

www.zemasystems.com
www.powellzone.com
www.invisionstrategic.com
www.das-media.com/children
www.drharrisoriginal.com

and more coming... sorry for the confusion.. I'm not a fibber

ZEMASYSTEMS is actually the company I used to work for until my girlfriend and I started our own place. They wanted a cool re-design after I left and they were going for the same style as you.

The picture.
Actually it took FOREVER to get a good picture of a lime. Your best bet is to get a nice camera (I used a olympus 4040 for all the pics, for some reason they're only using 1 right now?) get a hard stock bright white piece of foam board put the fruit on it and stand about 2-3 feet back. Make sure your white balance is set and make sure you are not in direct sunlight (shade on a sunny day is what you want). We then sprayed it with a pump/spray bottle with a little bit of olive oil... it gives it a nice shine. Then pull it into photoshop, clean up the edges and apply an unsharpen mask to it (but not too sharp). That’s it

GOOD LUCK with the rest of your site!

-dylan

Oh and when I say irritating... it's only because the loop is so short. It's very repetitive very quickly.... that's all. If your going for speed it works perfect!

**n-gen** · 07-22-2003, 05:00 AM

essentialy this site has been designed not for designers but for potential clients.

so i want some sort of funky widget like a particle blower or something equally tacky. anyone got some idea.

oh i got an idea something like condensation on the users screen. does anyone know how that could be done?

**n-gen** · 07-22-2003, 09:30 AM
