Preserved Topic: Qvickers' new site is up

It's a two thumb's upper. Makes me wanna quit the day job learn how to code webpages. Doc and this guy and very few bloody others can do it all start to finish, kudos to yas.

I have to say I do like his old pages better, but it's pretty cool. I just liked the old interface on the HMTL page. Never visited the Flash version much.

I like Anders, have for years. The thing is, he lives here in Sweden, same as I do now, but *way* up in the north of sweden. Kind of a bummer, we've never yet gotten together, though we've planned it several times. (My fault, probably. Flaky flaky.) One of the things I like best is that he's a swedish designer yes, but his designs don't follow the usual swedish mode, flat, clean and distinctly *not* 3D, heh. I like this new site.

Your pal, -doc-

Well, I was about to say that I like the site. Its not my type of site but its obviously a nice site and you cant take that away from him. Why does he hafta launch a new window though when you click on something. Grrr. Grrr at you Anders, but grrr in a good way <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> Even with the launched windows its a nifty site, I do like the older one a little better though.

He does kinda have pretty crappy tuts though. They're just not as good as the Docs, Phongs or Marks.

Yeah, I thought that too. Great site but the tuts aren't exactly the greatest. Plus he uses a lot of filters which I don't own. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/frown.gif">

I would love to see a tut on how he makes those delicious jewels in his interfaces.

hmm... some of those tuts are of things i have just been learing my self... I did just download eyecandy beta 4000 something... it is too easy to make crome with it though... i feel like i am cheating or something. hmm... the forum looks kinda familiar... wrong colors though <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Haven't even looked at his tutorials. Mebbe he's savin the good stuff for the CD he's hawking, cha-ching.
I'm impressed with the menus that jump out of the green shiny thing, hard to beat menus that jump out of a green shiny thing, I think lynda.com has a whole DVD devoted green shiny popping menus or something. Maybe not.

I would never buy his CD. He's a great designer and all but the majority of his tutorials consist of using plugins which like someone said I just dont have and why would I want a tutorial on making glass using a third party filter for glass? Makes no sense at all. On the topic of CD's did anyone purchase DBM's CD? I heard such bad things about it I was just curious if someone here had it...

is there anyone here brave enough to admit that ? lol

I didn't buy DBMs CD, but I bought the Andy Art CD a long time ago. I may buy the Qvicker CD. I like to buy things that support the artists that I like, I buy art prints the same way.
Who knows I may learn something new that I hadn't thought about before, or by going through the tutorials, I may see something in a new way even if it does use third party filters. I don't like tutorials that are poorly written, have spelling errors, or perform no real function. Those really pi$$ me off.
As far as the DBM CD, I might have bought it but I've no idea if Mark is a web artist (he doesn't *do* web design), or a radio personality, or a musician, or what the hell he does. I can't put my support behind him. He rarely speaks on his forum, doesn't *do* feedback, I can't figure him out. I like Phong, (even though he needs a kick in the inspiration gene), and if Phong were to make a CD (even if it sucked) I'd buy it because I want to support him as an artist. We as artists need support from our peers more than from the public. I usually find myself designing for designers than for the general public.

Just my .02

Wow! Anders is back? Great. Gotta check it out.

The new design is great. I love it.

Hey, I wanna do a CD too!!!!! Hmm, what could I put on it, though? Everything I do that I think is worthwhile, I post on the net, hrmph. I've often thought that if I ever get three months (or 6 months) off, I mkight take the entire OZONE website and make all the bits and pieces work without a browser, instead do them as a Director production. That might actually have some value. Until I actually *do* have something that's big and new enough to have value all by itself, I probably won't do it as a CD. Personally, I don't think I've bought anyones CD yet, I have a hard time picturing them not being exactly like their websites.

Your pal, -doc-

I love Qvicker's stuff. I've had Qvicker in my favorites folder ever since I first saw it. For what it's worth, Qvicker, you got my admiration.
