Dn. Portfolio.

**Gloomycus** · 09-22-2002, 04:35 PM

I'm designing a new personal portfolio for myself. Its a flash front end using XML for data. PHP and MySQL are used for the portfolio sections. I've only been working on this for about 6 hours (mostly doing all the actionscripting, PHP, MySQL stuff), so its very preliminary.

I like the simplicity of it. Very nice and neat... ONe thing though. The scroll bar on the side is very hard to see. I came up with it on accident

**I_am_Tarzan** · 09-22-2002, 04:59 PM

i like it, verry simple. it has something cool on it.
And the scroll bar will make itself visible when more items are available i think ?

ugh, i mean, when the list is full people will search for an scroll bar to see more if it's worth it.

i know what you mean.

**skd** · 09-22-2002, 05:08 PM

I very dig it.
The look's got something minimally attractive in it.

Yeah, put it on your site. I sent inkogroup in to be added.

too incomplete for me to make a proper comment on it

**skd** · 09-22-2002, 06:05 PM

The minimalist web project isn't mine, I just give it credit and publicity by throwing a link in my footer

**SLeD** · 09-22-2002, 06:21 PM

weee i made that list :]

**Canadaherp** · 09-22-2002, 08:27 PM

just i was confused in the art section, you need to say that its loading ...... i was confused at that the scroll bar is pretty noticable i think

**busssm** · 09-23-2002, 12:11 PM

dan,

it doesnt show up :?

are you updating!?

**Gloomycus** · 09-23-2002, 01:49 PM

no problem, im looking at it right now. must be a thing with your system not being able to connect to the server,

and erik what do you mean you were confused by the art section?

**Gloomycus** · 09-25-2002, 10:04 AM

ok, the art section images are placed on a PHP page that is in sync with a mysql database.

**busssm** · 09-25-2002, 03:26 PM

i dont know what is the problem but i simply couldnt get your site on my desktop what really freaked me out... because i simply have to see the latest DN works.

Well my desktop specs: WinXP 1024x768 IE6 which probably is broken (that might be the problem) 350mhz DSL flash6player - the only problems i had experienced so far are that i cant open popups...

but your site worked perfectly fine on my laptop, similar specs but 8x6 display and modem

nice portfolio
i am currently designing a new portfolio for my site as well. i hope i can finish it by the end of this week

cu around

don't like it... you should have used html for this kind of thing

Yeah, HTML can be used for a lot of things. As I've stressed before many times, just because there isn't any big animations doesn't mean that flash isn't a good choice for this. I'm going for functionality and simplicity, as well as having something using dynamic content. The flash is very subtle as to not draw attention away from what is important, which is the artwork itself.
