I like the idea of to squeeze the juice out of fruit....but perhaps you could be more viceral and raw...depending on your market. Just a thought. I recognized the strawbarries.,,not necessarily your name because you were pissed and thought I stole 24-7's flies. No biggie.

Hi I think the site looks really nice. I did have a couple comments though (I dunno if they were already brought-hopefully they weren't)

I dont think the strawberries belong on the site. They stray from the green/yellow color theme for one...and they are not a citrus fruit like the lemons and limes...Also, your tag line is "Freshly squeezed media"..I dont think of a strawberry as a fruit that is "squeezed"..when I hear the word squeezed I think of lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits etc.

On the portfolio section I find it bothersome to have to continually click the up/down arrows to view the next project. I would prefer to either just hover my cursor over the arrow and have it scroll automatically, or even be able to click and hold on the arrow and have it scroll continuously until I release the mouse button..

I also am not a big fan (as someone else pointed out)of the CD icons in the nav bar..

Otherwise, very well done. It is nice to see someone exercise restraint when making a flash site.

Good Job

i do understand when everone says they think that the strawberrys dont fit on the site.

but

i took all of those pictures of the fruit and you wouldnt believe how similar oranges and grapefruits look after having a few filters applyed too them. i will try to get a nice picture of an orange for you and stick it on a test page.

i will change the arrows on the portfolio page. sorry that was just a little rough actionscript in knocked up in a few mins and im gonna get it refined soon.

i also really like onionboys suggestion of doing the mask up on all the objects rather than move right. it looks much better ( dont you agree) thanks for that.

The masking is definately better but make it last longer and maybe something a bit more... creative than a wipe...

Maybe shape tween liquid dripping (Bond style) And have the mask run down exposing the image? I like that idea...

**robbmcaulay** · 07-29-2003, 12:44 PM

Oh, i'm sorry n-gen, have I offended you by trying to help?

**robbmcaulay** · 07-29-2003, 12:55 PM

"Freshly Squeezed"

**n-gen** · 07-29-2003, 12:57 PM

now that is good,

seriously thats cool

im sorry if i upset you. i just thought that that that ice cube image was awful (im sure others will agree)

do u really think it looks better?

**robbmcaulay** · 07-29-2003, 01:01 PM

Nah, I was just trying to figure out interlaced PNGs from 3DS Max, I know it looks ****, couldn't get the textures right... or the shape... or the smoothing... or the refraction...

Ah well...

But the picture stays!

**robbmcaulay** · 07-29-2003, 01:02 PM

And it doesn't look awful! It just doesn't look like ice cubes...

**n-gen** · 07-29-2003, 01:06 PM
