Topic: 2nd wave (Page 1 of 1)

Hey, I'd like to preface with saying I did take most of your advice. Chromeless bad idea? My reason: I've never done it before so oh well, it will go with time, no worries! Due to my lack of time, this is still a site for my own personal use. No particular audiance. Emperor: that font in the sorry image is 'Infiltrace' get it here -- http://www.jasonoia.com/downloads/infiltrace.zip also, keep them opinions comin' ... thanks again guys

It would be much easier with a link to the site

i don't like it. takes away all the control I have on the web (back, forward, refresh, etc..) and is confusing. To overcome that, I suppose you could make your own "back", "forward" and "refresh" buttons.


if you're going to stick with the chromeless, i'd have the new window pop up just the size of your design, not the full screen.



--Lurch--

I'm not very found of popups, and even less found of cromeless popups, so naturally I would advice you to remove it, but you seem to want it there so I guess it will stay that way.

Except from the popup thing I like the layout. If you want the page to be a bit more accesible for other people you could change the menu to text links instead of images, that way people with poor eyes etc can enlarge it and read what it says. But if it is a personal site that might not be that important.

Do you really need all those underline things after the name in the title tag? It would look much better imo if you removed them and kept the title tag from the splash screen.

I doubt that old browsers are fond of your iframe so you might want to reconsider that and maybe use Docs ZScrollBar or something instead.

You also need to add a DOCTYPE and a couple of more meta tags(description, keywords...) to your page.

took off chromless, still flawed.. oh well

`

uhm, is it just me or did the chromeless pop up disappear?

the colors of the site don't give the *pop* i'd like to see... the blue is your dominant color and the green should be the accentuating color, but instead they just kind of 'blah' together. same thing with the 'JASONOIA.COM' bit, the off-white color doesn't do a ton for me.

the grid background is kind of fun? i'm not sure about the graphic in the upper corner, once again it just doesn't seem to be a cohesive element...

the scrollbar on the blue background doesn't do a lot for me.

in your portfolio section don't have your images popup on a blue background, it takes away from the original work. if you want to be anal retentive (like me!) you should use a mid-range grey color because it'll help the human eye see the work correctly. a white or black background also work, but white backgrounds tend to make the piece itself look brighter than they really are and black backgrounds make pieces look darker.

or wait, is that the other way around? i decided to skip studio today and drink instead so i'm probably wrong... but you get the idae.

and please don't spell school "skool."

ahhh i think i've bitched about enough for now. keep up the work though, you're getting there...
