hey'lo, workin on a site design for an applied research centre,
wondered if i could get some input !?
draft front page
http://webdev1.otago.ac.nz/~phut…or
http://webdev1.otago.ac.nz/~phut…their existing site
http://www.albatross.co.nz/dynam…..yup!

lemme know if those URL's dun work

#1 um.. instead of the alba flying in from right to left, maybe have it static where it is, and fade to white when the rest of the name comes up..
#2 i like the feel better because #1 looks like a typical website. But it still feels loose and sloppy.
god awful past website.
because of your theme, may i suggest looking @ http://www.sonyclassics.com/wing… for inspiration?
- pablokorona0
no, i looked again.. the vast white space on #2 bothered me, but its the better one. i just don't like the layout of the birds..

why no color?

hey! nice site, cheeers for that mang, hot, that silouhette of the bird flying was exactly what i was after, i tried animating one but it looked like shite, how would i go about doin a bird like that?
i know what u mean bout the layout of the birds, ..this is a very quick mock up
thanks alot =)

they were after somthing, crisp* and either alot of white or alot of black
i dunno, too much colour to me would clash with the name (?)
- _salisae_0
if that were so then the gray would be wrong too b/c it'a another color than black.
just think a small amount of another color would make it more interesting to look at.
think the bird should be facing toward the page instead of away b/c it draws your eye toward which ever way it's looking.
good work!
- blackspade0
maybe i could pull some of that bright blue thru if they like that photo.
how would i create a simple silohette bird flying like this:
http://www.sonyclassics.com/wing…ive made a vector of my albatross, cant be that hard ! :(
- peteski0
a secondary color would be nice. #1 is good, albeit typical. not a fan of the hard nav bar, incorp. into the flash header maybe, bring the blue bg down and place the menu in there.
the bird is flying the worng way on the logo and in the flash but I'm guessing that's them and not you.
the photo is a good one.
- blackspade0
thanks peteski
yea their logo was done a while back by someone else
by flying the wrong way, do u mean flying off the page or are u saying it looks horizontally flipped?

I actually like v1 but the nav bar looks a little thick and it all looks very 'css'... I think its quite nice tho
- blackspade0
prob looks very 'css' cos it is, haha, nah i totally know what u are getting at
might try slim nav down a bit
when u say v1, u mean the one with the blue photo ?
- rasko40
yeah the top one.
- rasko40
I like it and all, but the 'css' look is so-oo 'Jevad' heheh, which is no bad thing!
:)
- blackspade0
i know what u mean, but its exactly what these guys love, majority of their clients will have no idea what css is, let alone a "css look",
also, limited time gotta pump this one out
lmao @ "so Jevad"

how would you animate a bird like that?
for a smooth result draw it out frame by frame.I like the top one also for a quicky.
- blackspade0
ta _b_
currently tryin to animate one, im not that experienced in flash, give it a go
thanks for input re the first one

Sorry no comment...i'm shattered, 3am here.

- blackspade0
ha no worries
- spongebob0
forgive me but the bird kind of looks dumb staring at the user... that's the first impression i get.
