i like your fade effect... looks nice!
- oculasm0
cheers. your own rollover link fades are pretty cool.
- oculasm0
I just thought of something.. maybe it should have something instead of the blank page when the user first visits the site.
- niku0
perhaps not have it resize the window. i get sad when that happens, and run away.
:-(

yeah put something there instead of just a blank page, and though I like the fade effect, I'm not sure that the lists should dissapear when you rollout, seems like your just doing that to use the effect again and its a bit annoying.

it also seems a bit odd that I cant see any pics of your work in the 'main site'
- oculasm0
thanks.. all your comments taken into account.. I really appreciate it..
I hate the window resize thing too.. but I'd rather have that than have it scroll... maybe I'll change the layout to fit smaller area.
pics of my work on the main site were omitted purely to speed loading up. I may add them in again.. since the preloader is now in effect.
the fade thing is there to make the user focus on the area they are reading..and for the minimal look..
hopefully not as a distraction..I hope its not too annoying.. if it is Ill rethink it.
The list main section titles should be visible when rolled off.

on many of the pages the pixel fonts look blurry. i didnt like the rollover fade much, it seems a bit pointless, it just got annoying after the first 3 times. That is a personal thing tho, so take it as you will. When you click on the links on the bottom everypage is a different layout, and different design. except the photo and comm portfolios. it might be better to have something that ties then together more. It might be better if you had some explanations in ur commercial portfolio.
good work

It's coooooool - but just looks a little dull. Nice and clean but uninteresting. For example... take off the "fade"effect and just look at your page, it just needs 'something'. Maybe something as simple as a stylized logo at the top with a little color in it.
Just my 2c :)

oh dear.. cheers andre..
okay I wasnt expecting any of the pixel fonts on the main site section to be blurry.. are they blurry on the navigation side or on the content...
the content font is a fontsforflash pay font so I'd like to know if its not working as planned..
the font below it used for navigation, isnt really meant for flash usage..
do you reckon I should turn high quality off and rasterize the first line?
the poems page has resizable fonts to aid usability but maybe I should give it a consistent layout. so it fits in with the rest of the site.

thank you Mick..
this site is a development over of several prior designs
http://www.oculasm.org/newstoday…
but Im still willing to change it. Ill have a go at fitting my logo on there.
this is what my logo looks like
- andre_k0
cool, the font is probly not sitting on an integers.
- unknown0
meh...
1. dont resize..
2. book idea is old
3. cant even see the book too plain
meh meh meh
- Mick0
Your logo is nice - but looks a little like an angry eye to me :)
- oculasm0
thank qburt..
okay resize will def have to go.. I agree.
I understand the book idea is old.. but plenty of non designers have yet to be exposed to its gamma rays..
the original book source was very yellow and off pixelwit.com
The yellow book effect wasnt what I wanted so I changed it quite a bit to fade into the page and look less like a book.
im working on the fade effect.. trying to minimize it.

i like, although my Safari was picky about loading it at first...I dunno weird, but pretty origina design.
Kudos.

I like.
whys it a blank opening?
not a big fan of the drag page turning. see enough of it. my mouse has a button. clik clik. its really well done tho.
my browser changed its size on opening. by itself.
good work all around. above is just nit pik shit.
- oculasm0
cheers guys.. Im still working on those comments.. should have a new test version of it up soon..
