Big company's realy should have Art Departments that should know better. Not saying. oh just pull the logo off our website, it will work for the front cover of that 1.2 million copy catlog run right.

I just think Corel makes things easier to use the tools. Same goes for photoshop. But that's a whole other ball of wax Anways, thanks for the positive feedback and keep your work offline I don't need any competition L8r, Darcy
Veneficuz Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: A graveyard of dreams Insane since: Mar 2001	posted 08-29-2003 00:53 First of all add a background color to the web page. You don't have one specifed, so I get my default blueish tone and it doesn't look all that good. Second thing is that the page contains almost no information what so ever. All there is is the gallery and a mail link. If you want to catch any costumers it would probably help a lot if you added some information about yourself. The navigation shuld also be improved. Add a menu with links to each section (front page, hand drawn, scans etc) and keep it at all pages. Right now the 'View More' links are kind of hard to see with al the other graphics around. The pages also need something that makes them fit better together. The only thing common between them now is the style of the pictures. To create a feeling of consitency some parts of the page should stay there all the time. A menu is one thing, but the header image and the left-image would also be nice things to keep on all pages. The page title is way to long. It spans the whole browser window when I maximize it at 1024x768. The title should not be more than a few words so the users can easily glimps the page name from it. _________________________ "There are 10 kinds of people; those who know binary, those who don't and those who start counting at zero"
ozphactor Maniac (V) Inmate From: California Insane since: Jul 2003	posted 08-29-2003 01:08 Yeah, the title spans all of my 1280x1024 screen too. I think it'd feel more at home in a <meta> description tag in your <head>. And yes, implement some decent navigation. Also, I'd suggest removing the guestbook, unless you want to come off as a teenage girl. It just doesn't seem very appropriate for a portfolio site.
Vectorplus007 Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Sudbury, Ontario, Canada Insane since: Aug 2003	posted 08-29-2003 05:47 Thanks for the feedback. Like I said I put the portfolio together quickly and I know it could use more info and a menu but I didn't realize that some browsers have a default blue background so thanks for pointing that out. The title is long because some search engines put more weight on the title then anything else and I rarely pay attention to page titles myself. But I guess when you're at a high-res like yours it stands out. As for the guestbook, I think it's the most important part of the site but I guess I could change the link name to "Customer Feedback" or something. L8r, Darcy
