    help note:
    pixel fonts -->
    free: http://www.04.jp.org/
    pay: http://www.fontsforflash.com

    issue:
    using a pixel font : http://www.kgroup.ru/articles/pixfont_eng.html

    critics:
    the bg image looks abit blurry.
    if you seperate each sections into different files, use preloader, if not, than take away the preloader.
    the pixel font is a bit too big and hard to read.

    suggestions:
    take out unnecesarry preloaders.

    strong points:
    good job on the preloader.. it's really nice!!!
    the bg image is nice, did you do that with 3D?
    the rollover button is cool, with the lightning effects.. kewl.

    making updates

    thanks for the good criticism 350z, i made the bg clearer and its much better now. as for the fonts, i fixed those too. now i have a couple sections up - portfolio and profile, which i am still working on. the background isnt 3d, its a cool photo i have. your right, lighting effects in photoshop on the buttons by the way 350z your site is really cool. i like how fast it is and your use of images for bg's and the layout is good too

    any other comments?

    nice site

    Just one quick question...have you been to www.2advancedstudios.com?
    There's a slight similarity in concept, just curious

    Otherwise I think the site is pretty good...and I too need to look into pixel fonts...it is the way to go.

    thanks

    duskj79 - 2advancedstudios.com has a similar layout, thanks for comparing mine to such an awesome one. as for the preloaders, i need them because every section is an externally loaded swf.
    thanks a lot for the input
