I disagree with what you have said. I attend a high school that is ranked in the top 10 in the United States. I've met a number of talented young human beings. However, I am not one of them. ;)Quote:

However, I do agree that most young persons do not have the ambition to strive for real goals.

I am concluding that Keith Peiris did not create that website. He is just the CEO (the celebrity).
Popularity stunt I would say...

theres nothing wrong with a kid who's 14 years old and can design a website like that.. & what about the guy who graduated college at 10 years old.. there are really smart kids too and who are really good thinkers.. just that every kid is not one doesnt mean there are none.
I certainly agree. Read my posts on page 2 of this thread. :DQuote:

If that kid's an indian, then that explains the whole of it...

Tell you what..its TERRIBLE !!!!! PROLLY MADE IT IN 1 fps...
I would just like to say:
Don't say other peoples' work "sucks" if you can not even achieve it yourself. Maybe it just isn't up to your standards, that's all. :D

i would agree that its unlikely young people could create sites along the same caliber...THAT is NOT because they do not have the technical skills, because anyone of any ange can learn programs in the technical sense.
but as you become more and more exposed to the medium and everything else, you continue to refine your "aestheic eye", that is, your ability to tell what makes good design and what doesn't. I look back on what i did a couple years ago and can't believe i thought that looked nice. And hey, everyone is always improving, its just that it doesn't matter about your flash programming and animation skills. it matters how well tuned your sense of design is.
such a skill is not simply "learned" through a book or a couple days. it takes a while, which is why I would doubt that youngr people under the age of 16 have fully refined such a talent.

I wasn't going to be so blunt. But exactly what I wanted to say. Oh, and the one who said 14 years olds can't design? That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Putting an age limit on creativity. I will quote you on that as well gimmie a little while.
Heh so just for curiosity when is one capable of design? at what age?

There is no info about that the kid is a designer and how he started with web design there is only pictures him shaking with some old people, he he. I realy dont belive there is a kid that can design a site like that, it looks kinda good issent something to blow me away but when a kid at the age of 14years old make it it kinda blows me away abit, age maters ALOT guys. When I was 14 I was making out and partying alot,he he and beeing out side 24 seven.
If the kid designed the site by himself and made the sites in the portfolio, hands down to him, and if he continues he is going to be great web designer. But I dont belive he did it!
Kids cant web design, prove me wrong by posting in here some sites that are made by 12->15year olds.
Kids can't design hmm this kid is not younger than 15 but.. he only owned a computer for 4 years and this site was released when he was like 17... Looking at this site I am sure he was a doing a bit of design at 15. Not to mention this is one of the dopest sites I have seen.

Hey man when I was 11 I learned how to animate on the computer (I think it was Macromedia product to boot!). I made my first site when I was fourteen, sure it was no peach. But I knew more about the web than anyone in our town. Its not hard if you’re a drop out, have computer and a goal. But my point is the age is in your head. I’ve seen young people do amazing things much more than just site design. Any one who feels intimidated by child and needs to put down youth in general needs to grow-up! Surprise, when you where jerking in front of your computer he was learning. Kids are bright, they learn much faster, and are open, most of all in art and design.
I know young people that could design better and around same age, but im not going to name people or go into detail, because it will just send this thread more and more off the topic.
I dont see the point in all this, id like to remind you that this is a cool sites forum, lets talk about cool sites maybee? not bout some kid who has no relevance to jack :)

Anyways, I don't know about this Keith Peiris dude. He's all popular and everything, but his skills SUCK. Like, come on... The site is ok, but nothing to get excited about.
Forget Keith Pieris......
This kid better than Keith Pieris.....Well, guys!! You lose.............!!This kid is not 12 or 15...........Read this!! It's 10 years old...........follow this link
Yep,...........pbleper is a great boy.....he has a site that won macromedia site of the day......So be afrraid, kid!!
And yep.....don't mess with andru phoenix too.........Eric Jordan interviewed himm.............Well, guys!! u have a great talent.......so impressed me again with ur new masterpiece design..
cheers,

that http://jaijin.com/andru/ site is DOPE ass hell, or the animations are just crazy, loved evry seccond of it. But the kid is 19years old, hell he is older then me with 6monts or something. And the site wassent all that but the animations were all that and a bag of chips. Carzy..
Peace out
Netizens never cease to amaze. Stop hating on the kid:
1. Yes, the site is decent. At the same time it is simple. However for a 12 year old, it's quite good work. I wish I had skills like that now. Additionally, you must keep in mind that it's a corporate site designed with a certain style. What do you expect? Flying text, perhaps? The kind that most of you STILL use on your eternally crapped up Flash intros.
2. But go beyond the site. The kid may not have done it, but a paid employee instead. So then what's impressive is the 12 year old being a CEO. That's quite an accomplishment. If you don't believe it's possible for a child to do great things (especially with the support of family & friends) don't worry. I don't blame you. I blame the extra chromosome.
3. I do recall seeing the work of 12 year old on FK that was pretty awesome to say the least. To say that a 12 year "can't do it" is plain stupid. Just because you were/are amazed by the capillary action of paper towels, don't think that all youth share your simplicity.
4. It may be stunt, side-show or whatever, but it's NOT unbelievable. As I recall 2 Canadian brothers started a Net company when they were 16 years old. Sold it for $1M at 18 years old and then founded a multi-million dollar company.
Some of you people spend too much time on FK just to piss on the efforts of others. Anybody worth a used GI Joe would have better things to do.
Torray, nicely said, but, why do you say to close the thread? I enjoy reading this stuff.. if you dont want to view the 'idiocy' just dont click on the thread :P.
hey,
um, the site posted being made by a 10 year old was www.melmade.com, right??...
either thats not the right link, or i don't know math anymore,
but under the profile section in the site, the guy says he was
born in 1970 -- so thats 32 years not 10...or perhaps its the picture of what looks like him at 10 years old that threw you off..
and why does this kid from cybertek keep on getting younger. first hes 14, now twelve... i remember reading similar posts about him saying he was that young--about 2-3 years ago!
what a fruit :D
this is MY first website.. which i made a week ago and i know it has stuff which i gotta fix.. and its not finished yet, only the photos page (heehee)

ok guys, his father owns cyberteks parent company.. he is also funding cyberteks.. the kid is the CEO and plays around in the office.. they actually have a staff of like 2 decent web guys.. having the 14 yr old kid is just the biggest PR stunt..

hmmm..maybe in america ur so dumbass that u can't do something when ur young but hmmm....let me show u a site..that was don by my classamte when i was in 7'th grade and he wasd 13 years old....not the best and lot's of typos bu still..the site is quite good...http://www.zone.ee/balduran/ the backround and all the **** exept music is done by himself....so what do u think of that site????
Why cant it be a 14 year old kid?
Im 15 and I know PHP HTML FLASH JAVA AND DHTML I new all these when i was 13 So why cant a kid create a site like that?
But I understand why U idiots wont admit that the next generation is bigger and better. go back to your TV Reruns and Prune Juice.

O.K. it's amazing to see young people do brilliant things. Some talented young people become better with age and others just go by the way side. Personaly I don't care if you are 14 or 40, if you are good you are good. Now,the site has elements that require good programatic knowledge. Pertaining to that I've seen younger kids do even more amazing things, especially in programming. These are people that have an intelligence and a predesposition to see things in a mathematical perspective that your everyday joe can't possibly comprehend. As far as the site is concerned I like it but I don't think it's cool sites material. whoever constructed this site I tip my hat to you. Well-done. Peace.
heh, people are worried that they'll be overtaken by younger kids. including me :)
look what a 15 years old did:
http://johnsonwood.ipfox.com
I'm just making more fun out of fellow flashkitters :D
"kids that are 14years old don't have a sense for web design, so I
don't believe he has designed that site"
Jesus Christ who the **** do you think you are. What a dumb ****ing statement. I think its so funny to see how worried and uptight all the "veterans" get when someone mentions a young kid. Get a ****ing life before you start making such comments.
UnderTheSun: Don't badmouth others until you can post a site without textured buttons, terrible image compression, bad color schemes, and oh yes... javascript errors. No, I don't think I have anything to worry about if you make it into the design world.
Honestly speaking, I can almost guarantee that kid made this site; who else would have made it, and why would they have put his picture on there? The site is fairly sub standard, honestly. I am a little surprised at the cleaness of it all, but all it has is a menu with some roll overs, a less than decent logo, a distracting animation the kid probably got from FMC, and knows photoshop and flash decently (at least). I am 17 and could do much better. I guess that is 3 years, but what can I say. Anyways, I think he is really good for a 14 year old, but it isn't THAT amazing as to say that "I will believe it when he comes to my house and does it on my computer"
carlos
haha, its true...
seriously though, im still waiting for a wicked ass site by someone young that will would hold its own with the other "coolsites" in this forum, that is sites without bad gradient usage and that are slow as hell which seem to be two things i often see in some of the above posted.
i have no DOUBT that people under the age of 16 can learn all those programming languages/ multimedia tools. i mean geez, ever see those brainchild kids that goto college when they're 10 or something? its not a question of can they produce something.
its a question of the design quality of what is produced. and this sort of critical skill is not something learned from a book (unlike programming) or picked up in a couple days. professional designers are always refining their sense of what looks good and what doesn't. i think that from the sites shown, the creators can obviously use the programs. but their sense of design is not up to the same level. this is more of an art than a mathematical skill, that can only be absorbed and developed over time, or with some intense instruction.
its not trying to hate on the younger people. its just how it works. but believe me, you will definitely be better off learning the programs early so a lack of knowledge in them will not hinder you later on in your creative endeavours and "design" explorations.
that was the 3rd site made by the person ever, and was like 2 months after learning how to use flash. who was that person? me. more than a year ago.Quote:

I was just making a point, that too many people in flashkit has just shown, that they worry too much about talented kids. Why? Maybe because they have fear being overtaken by these kinds of kids, and they don't like it. These kinds of kids don't exist, because people are the same. The quality of a website only depends on few things: experience, effort & time, and dedication.
I am not bandmouthing other. Just making a point, that too many people worries. In fact, there shouldn't be any.

posted by stevietat2
stevie - Very good point. I am in fact 14 years old, and often shocked at how poorly sites are designed. And it is true, generally they are done by young kids who just installed Flash, eager to use the wide array of hideous gradients, sounds, and other effects which only serve to annoy and use bandwith. However, the statement, "kids that are 14 years old don't have a sense for web design" was completely uncalled for. Is it fair for me to say that all old people smell?Quote:

I am 14 and currently producing a site which I believe will meet the professional standards. I have been using Flash since Flash 3, and over time, realized the delicate task of good web design.

flash 3 was like 5 years ago. uve been "flashing" since you were 9 or 10? ger.. my brother is 9 and still plays with pokemon. i dont think many other kids do differenly.
yes. i started out watching my older brother play around with it, then when he left, took over.
