I would like to start by saying that Kirupa and the members of Kirupa have been instrumental in helping me learn flash… and in particular, making this site : Http://www.serindgroup.com/designs
I would really appreciate any and all feedback that u might have, and also if there is someone really experienced with fonts, i wanted some recommendations about the fonts, and does the logo text look cheezy?
vendi is right you might want to increase your framerate to around 20-25 fps i guess.
-Why does your menu reload ech time you click a button ? Try to do somethings that doesnt redraw the whole screen each time.
why is there some blue (text?) on the photos ?
i dont see anything wrong with the fonts, but yes you might want to use somepixel fonts instead of verdana :beam:
The font used for the title is too “blocky,” maybe because it’s a pixel font that isn’t suppose to be used at that size. I would try using more dynamic looking so that it goes well with your site.
As for your logo, if I’m not mistaken, that looks a lot like a letter from the Circle Ding font set. I would probably make your logo a bit larger at the top just to set an distinction between the logos and your bullets at the bottom.
As for your layout, there’s a bit of a conflict between the upper portion of your layout and the lower portion. At the top, everything is linear and all the boxes and lines are straight. At the bottom you have angled boxes and lines, which to me looks bad. I would just have it all straight lines to keep it consistent and clean. Good luck. =)
Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback…it’s soo much better getting critisms from ppl who actually know flash (I asked my friend to critic for me, his response was: “yea really neat yo”)
anyway…for that logo i am thinking of making it into a 3d circle, and rotate it around, and yea make it bigger so it stands out a little better.
For the fonts, its _sans, I tried putting in pixel fonts, but all the pixel fonts i have tried so far look so “techie” (if thats a word), and i want something smooth, neat,… any ideas?
electrongeek: u r right, that font, i checked it out, its supposed to be used at 8px, no wonder it looks wierd… any ideas for a replacement font?
and yea the thing reloads the menu all the time cuz i haven’t separated the menu into a separate .swf…it is a strain on the eyes/mind/etc. for having it reload like that? hm…i dont know, i will change it and repost the file…
first thing i think when i see this: do you sell chairs & tables?
whats with the images on the top? are they pics of your office? cause otherwise im not really too sure what pictures of boardrooms have to do with your firm.
The office/boardroom pics, i added in to serve as a backdrop to create the feeling the firm is professional, etc. It’s a “sub-conscious metaphor”…
but I mean if its giving the effect that the site represents a furniture store, then obviously something is wrong… hrm… thanks for that feedback, i am definately going to see if I can find a better image than that…
I can see that the backgroudn color of your flash movie is slightly different from the background color of the html page. I don’t think you did it on purpose. Try using web-safe colors.
