    portfolio site

    Hi, I just put up my portfolio, Its probably version 126, I've updated it's design so many times. Nevertheless, can you check it out and let me know what you think of the design? Are any of the fonts blurry/missing, are the preloaders working on your platform?
    Thanks in advance.
    Oh, here's the link:

    ps- i still plan on adding music, sound fx, and other special effects to buttons, etc.

    Load time is long.
    PreLoader is cool - but if you light a fuse it burns away - so maybe the preloader should go the other way.
    Maybe some rollovers on main navigation.
    I think the colour scheme could be better.
    Transitions are v smooth
    Overall v nice - all just constructive criticism.

    Thanks I agree I've been struggling with the color scheme of each section. the pink after the intro animation plays is ugly. i need to change it.

    About the preloader i didn't mean for it to look like a fuse, but you have a good point, cause it kinda does look like one......i'll try turning it the other way around and see what it looks like.



    I still plan on making killer rolloovers for the nav. that will come soon.

    other wise thanks.

    peace

    preload wasn't too long for me...average I'd say for a Flash site.

    good concept you have there. Love the preloaders...that sparkly thing.

    good work; don't forget to post when you make those changes

    thanks, the sparkle thing i made in Particle Illusion. it's a great program!

    I added my picture to the 'about' section, it is animated.

    i still need to find better colors for those sickening headers.

    Thanks guys, anybody else have thoughts?

    Hello,

    I changed the ugle colors, added some music, added more animations in the 'misc.' section, and generally updated some of the functionality.

    thought i'd let you know.

    Hello, someone had told me to change the preloader to look like a fuse, and I did. Thanks for that idea. I also added big explosion at the end of it.

    Also check the little copyright symbol on lower right corner of content area, I added a stupid video if you click on that it is meant to be funny, let me know what you think. it has sound.

    Thanks for the ideas everyone!
