Is this gonna be flash? :smiley:

3

Yeah thankfully I usually only center my sites when they are flash just a habit of mine.

4

I don’t like the buttons. They seem like brown ovals with a cheap bevel and emboss layer style and some text thrown on. See if you can make them more subtle. It also seems really crammed…

That’s all. :slight_smile:

i think the time and effort into the detail has payed off, it looks quit stunning from my point of view

6

really really nice job there. Great feel to it.

Can’t wait to see the real thing.

7

i really like it, great use of colors and effects, looks perfect for a site that promotes that content.

8

11

12

13

Very very nice :thumb:

14

Love the look and all the little details you put in, such as the bear prints towards the lower right … good stuff!

15

you have a lot of patience, and talent!

Well it wouldnt be complete until I nit picked it…:lol:

Anyway, I dont like how the navigation is off center. I am guessing to facilitate the paw prints. But I dont think it is necessary. Also I would grunge up the paw prints and a few things in general (very slightly) to make it a little more rugged. I would also try fading the sides (kinda like a spotlight). And lose the reflection. It is a pretty solid concept these are just small things to nit pick. The colors are great. I would love to see some movement with it.

DDD some solid crits ill post a new version this afternoon.

18

Phew this afternoon was a lot longer than I though. I just updated it do you guys still think its works i had to kind of swap everything around?

SON OF A ******!!!
The site is now going to be html with flash elements(elements being the links and some of the content) which sucks so bad because I designed this whole thing specifically for flash. This makes me want to just scrap it for a side job project and do a new quick mockup for them.
