There are no visual clues to indicate that it is a menu (the numerals are not sufficient in my mind). It should be immediately obvious that this is the menu and this is where you need to interact with the page, and right now it is not obvious. [quote]I used the JPG because it was smaller in size. GIF was too low in quality and too large when I set to full quality.[/quote] Huh? GIF doesn't have "quality settings." GIF is a lossless compression scheme, meaning that what you end up after you save as a GIF will be exactly what you had before you saved as a GIF, except compressed. JPG, on the other hand is a lossy compression scheme, meaning that you lose color information in the process. If you save it as a GIF, the colors are guaranteed to be exactly what you specified them to be. If you save it as a JPG, not only will you have to deal with artifacts, but the colors themselves might change as well. As for the actual image itself, it's colorful and funky (and would look a lot crisper and nicer as a GIF ;)). OK, now I'm past the "root" page, and I don't really see the need for it. I agree with poi here--why don't you just scrap the "root" page and go with the other three in a consistent design? Not sure if this was intentional or not (it's hard to tell with all the "cool" spellings floating around these days), but the proper spelling is "gibberish." How 'bout changing the "bout" page title to something like "PS Pong"? "Bouts" itself is not very descriptive, and could refer to a wide variety of activities. Again, I agree with poi on the annoyance factor of the popup descriptions. Either leave space for the descriptions in your design, or float them. Don't make the rest of the content jump around them. You're liable to induce seizures like that. Why does the text in "How to Pong" highlight when you mouseover it? My cursor changes to a "help" cursor, but no further information is provided. Either something is broken or that is just a completely useless bell and/or whistle. That's about it, I suppose. A bit of tough love for ya. ;) [Edit: Ooh, I just found this gem in another thread... [quote]Besides that I utterly hate spalsh pages, even though I used to make them in the past they seem just plain stupid to me now![/quote] Hate to break it to ya, templar, but what you've got up there in your root page is more or less a splash page--it serves no purpose. ;)] ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] [small](Edited by [internallink=2031]Suho1004[/internallink] on 08-07-2005 07:54)[/small] Loading...
