was www.titans.com taken? Cause I didn't see much pixel work goin on.

I didn't check. Nor did I check pixelfonttitans.com or pixelgraphicsstyle.com. Any website you view consists of thousands of pixels. The usage of the word "pixel" is beyond fonts and graphics styles.
Was dice.com or dicemail.com taken? I wish I could say I appreciate your non-constructive feedback but the I must admit that posters like you are the reason why I don't consider flashkit a good resource for website feedback anymore.
Sorry Flash Kit, but too many people are doing you a disservice these days.

man thats definatly an overstatement

But seriously... between the slightly modified Decepticon logo and the Gundam mech on your main pages, you're violating a few copy coryrights. If you are making a fan site or personal site it would be cool, but it's just bad mojo to use those things on a site selling services.
You're using a modified logo as your own logo. You are supposed to be a creative company and therefore should be able to come up with an original design.

Hmm, well obviously you missed the part that said coming soon...
Anyways.. with a name like PIXELtitans, you expect to see pixel graphics, not vector graphics.
So I don't feel I need to appologize for my 'non-constructive' feed back.

not appologizing for non-contructive feedback isn't the point
instead what would you reccomend him in order to make his site ,his graphics,his name better

hmm, possibly some pixel images..?
The site is fine, I'm only mentioning the lack of pixel work.
-
some cool stuff in there, i especially like the smoke, but at nearly 2mb, you have just cut off 50% of your potential clients, i know alot of people design for broadband, but there aren't many people who have a 2mb load time, try and break up the sections so that users can choose what they download+view. Other than that, i whink its good.
-
i like it.. its diff in color us.. and i like the feel of it..
2mb mmm really ? 50% of clients ? must disagree on that..
well just try to taim it down a bit .. (your music?libary?)
try to keep up the promis you made on the site..

wow that look great...
Im not sure the transformer thing is the best image for your company it look more to me like a toystore website.
Im sure you have the talent to create your own corporate identity and you should do so. But the site is cool anyway just a litle big but very clean.
You should put an out animation for your section, it kind of break the beat when you hit the back button. Im also not a fan of the back button why should we have to click two button to visit a section. You should always have a menu smomewhere visible that allowed the user to navigate easily from section to section.
the way the colored transformer appear is a clear success i liked it very much... You in section animation are cool except maybe for the lighthing that look like roadrunner.
nice job!!!

Nice site :: but the only thing thats a bug is when you click the back button the music starts all over again :: It'll be much cleaner if the music was on constantly

I have to admit, although were was no tracing of "Decepticon" images I must say that the Transformers were one of my favorite cartoons growing up. It is evident that I have a helment as my logo with a "T" shape for "Titans" punched out of it. That much is clear. I honestly did not intend on the similarities being so strong. Rather, they just rubbed off on me. In fact, I stuck a transformer logo on a hot rod car many months ago. So it was probably in my mind when I started this a week ago. I'll probably change the logo this weekend or next weekend to make it more authentic looking.
As far as gundam infringement, i'm not concerned. Its a painted model, not showcase artwork from Gundam. I can display it if I like. Its not my logo or part of my identity. It is there to simply give a robot/warrior feeling. Since the Romans were not that technological (no computers), I wanted to incorporate some image that is both fun, technological, and has a warrior/titan edge to it.
As far as file size, I really don't care. 1.6MB is nothing for broadband connectivity, which is the audience I'm after. The whole experiment of this site was to create something that pushes bandwidth limitations without the use of 3D to pump out the bytes. Hence the requirements on the splash page "Broadband Connection." The use of imported .pngs and hi-bit audio was the idea.
www.arondale.com is the site I send people too to view my work, and not pixeltitans. pixeltitans is "virtual" anyway. Yes, there are placeholder for some of my friends..whom provided services I do not care to do myself (C# appoications, cold fusion shopping carts, etc.) I haven't decided if I'm going to design under that name. If i do, I'd definately make an html/css version of it and have the flash version nestled inside somewhere as an option.
www.arondale.com VERSION 2 (dubbed Arondale Interactive) is nearly complete, and is flash-based. However, development that pays the bills has slowed the development of v2 to be released this month.
thank you for the kind comments, as well as the "infringement" remarks. you make a valid point and it will be addressed. also, i agree with the "back" button remarks, but it is too late to change that architecture on this version. as far as the audio goes I plan on making unique audio loops for each section, but my yamaha motif is in the shop right now getting the power supply replaced (it makes unwanted sounds when recording in pro tools recently).
Thanks again for your remarks and for your time. I take back what I said. I guess flashkit can still give valuable feedback after all.

Just in case you want to know the standard definition...here it is:
pixel
pix•el P Pronunciation Key (p k s l, -s l )
n.
The basic unit of the composition of an image on a television screen, computer monitor, or similar display.
[pix1 + el(ement).]

I think the main problem is that there are a lot of would-be-webdesigners out there who understand NOTHING from graphics and computers, not even knowing the difference between Vector and Pixel graphics.
This is not a discussion about “Pixel Graphic” graphic styles. You missed the point. There question raised was the one about my use of the word “pixel” in my domain b/c of a lack of "pixel work." I'm not designing what you are referring to as "pixel graphics."
Type in “pixel graphics” in google.com and the first four to arise are:
www.blazinpixel.com/
http://www.pixelgraphics.on.ca/
http://www.penandpixel.com/
http://www.pixeldeviant.com/graphics_pixels.shtml
Only the forth one actually has the style designers refer to as “Pixel Graphics.” Hell, even using the words “Pixel Graphics” right next to one another doesn’t even guarantee that you are going to see the graphic style designers refer to as “Pixel Graphics.” Maybe if I owned http://www.pixelgraphics.on.ca/ you might say I know “NOTHING” about graphics or would question my use of the words “pixel” and “graphics” next to one another in the url.

obviously i would be sorry about you  , at least gasbag expressed his opinion somehow politely, but you come here and believe you're the god of design or something ... arrogancy is no good)
1st, you demonstrate you know a sh*t about design by talking about differences between vector and pixels, when you aren't aware that both are interconnected - for your information, vectors are made out of pixels, once you know this, we can talk about differences.
2nd don't talk about vector and pixel GRAPHICS, but about pixel and vector ART. perhaps you'll more accurate then, because all GRAPHICS in the web (included this words you're reading) consist of pixels.
3rd nobody asked you to be sorry for anyone.
4th about the name, either you're just trashtalking or you don't know a thing about the web. just to shut your mouth a bit i'll address you to www.pixelranger.com . oh my god!!! he is using the word pixel in his site name!!!! and he doesn't display pixel ART !!! he knows crap about design obviously, not like you nominee... that's why he is one of the most respected and recognised designers in the web... and that's why he works in 2advanced studios.
but there's more.... you can go to www.pixelsurgeon.com and not find a f*ck*ng pixel ARTwork. yet, it is one of the most visited design portals of the web too.
now, you can go to www.ideefreak.com . i'm sure, nominee, that you would expect to find something that's not pixel ART because of the 'name', but voila! you have one of the best pixel sites ( a salute to ideefreak ).
however, even better is when you get to www.eboy.com .... have you ever heard of it nominee??? sure not. i think there's no need to say he is one of the pixel ART pioneers and that his site is full of pixel art... 100% , being one of the most famous pixel ARTISTS ....
how strange ..... b..bu...bu...but his site name said nothing about PIXELS!!!!! he must be a noob....
no he's not... you ARE.
(all this goes to gasbag too, but without the personal offences . he obviously knows more than nominee and didn't went that far)
to arondale : listen not to this fella which has no idea about the web. or at least he doesn't seem to know much ... .keep the name and do what you want with it. nobody should expect pixel ART because the word pixel appears on the url.
about the site: the laser beam hmmm didn't like. caps and font, i would change it to some sharp crisp fonts. but that's your choice. other than that, the .swf size it's too big and you should have something to control the music (either start-stop, or volume slider ).
cheers.

<-- see this little dude, he's pixel art
When I say pixels, I don't mean 'pixels' as in the X*X amount of squares seperatly colored and refreshed at a high rate in order to create motion and graphics pixels. But anyways, I'll with-draw all previous statements if it will make you happy.

nayades,
thanks for your reply. you are not the first to suggest that I change the upper case and to control the audio (which I had always intended). I've had to stop working on the site for now because: a) i'm working on a new clients site design and b) one of my audio keyboard (motif) is still in the shop getting repaired.
thanks for the comments.
arondale
