Breaking down

1

Well, you all know I am a big fan of the practical, and I needed to have an online presence.

Hence, I have put together a site, which still needs much work, yet I dont have that much more time to put into it. Therefore, I show you, my bretheren, simply in the spirit of sharing.

http://www.realinteresting.com

you are welcome to tell me how bad it sucks, but please keep in mind that this is over a period of 3 days.

…still under construction.

Oh…there is a small, insignificant plug to my friend, Ilyas… that scrolling text on the background (upper left of the panel) is the screeching car that Ilyas put together… heheh

:love: :love:

whoa…i’ve seen some pretty bad sites…but…

this one definitely kicks all of their as**ses :stuck_out_tongue:

I like the code in the back, really cool.

hmmm interesting.

really!

May I ask what the square thing is doing in the bottom right, is it one of those binary clocks?

I like the layout, I would lighten up the background and choose a different text to embed for the date/time. Other than that I like!

:thumb:

I wrote a binary clock the other week, they rock. :beam:

Montoya, she’s a beauty. :slight_smile: I love the sounds that you guys find for these sites, so futuristicky. :slight_smile: And yeah, the code in the backgraound is a nice touch. :slight_smile:

Finally Montoya!!! hehe

Ok, well I will put in my 2 cents…

The white block in the middle that contains the text kind of stands out too much.

I don’t get why the navigation is split up in 2 seperate boxes other than so you can have the slide open sequence for them.

Theres a bug in the services section where if you scroll the text and then click on another service link, the text loads, but the scrollbar still stays where you last scrolled it, and shouldn’t the scrollbar resize when you load new text into it? Right now it doesn’t resize so you can scroll for a bitt without it actually moving.

And the matrix green thing is kind of played out :frowning:

I’m not trying to be mean, just offering up some constructive criticism so I hope you take it that way :slight_smile:

My 2 cents:

I don’t like the font so much, it’s too square for me, and I don’t like all caps either.

As Lost pointed out, the white block stands out too much, especially because the colors are so dark.

No transitions, no preloaders… I guess you’ll add that later on :slight_smile:

jeez pom. so much for being nice :sure:

where’s your site?

[size=1]then again…where’s mine :([/size]

10

[size=1]tick… tick… tick…[/size]

I was trying to be frank, sorry if I sounded harsh, it’s just that I expect high standards from the mods here :slight_smile: By the way, I hope that if I ever end up posting my site, you won’t feel you have to be nice with me :-\

Hahaha… well, I think I got what I expected.

The white block of text is really not supposed to be there. It actually will be part of the plasma/lcd whateveryouwannacallit screen. This was simply in the interest of time.

The scrollers… yeah, they suck. Thank macromedia components for that. I will be fixing that later.

Preloader… dont need it yet, but will soon.
Transitions… I’ve thought of a few… man, Im so busy! I’m oficially taking volunteers! :slight_smile:

Matrix Green?? It really never crossed my mine… I was in Star Trek mode when I wrote this, so… it’s computer screen green. :slight_smile:

the button split? I have no idea… I just had an idea for the shutters and voila… split the menu…hahhah…

Love you guys! Thanks for the comments. I really do appreciate them, which is why I posted here. This will surely take some time and some comments from my friends.

Things I expected to do…

I thought about putting some kind of effect on the orb… like maybe lightning or passing clouds (a la Doom) or something like that.

I wanted to build my hover bot thingie. This is simply a hovering gizmo (like Phantasm(movie)). When you rollover a button, it reacts by flying to it and shining a light on it, or shooting it, or something…

Text as part of the plasma display… (you know what I mean).

Transitions… ran out of inspiration.

I was going to add more wires and stuff all around… (rivets, gizmos, etc…), but I felt it might be too much.

The floor (blue tiles) were going to light up at certain intervals (like Billie Jean video by Michael Jackson).

Thought about doing landing lights at the edges of the floor (like you would see on an airport runway).

etc…

Comments?

Ilyas… dont try to be Frank. We like you as Ilyas. Frank is such an american name. :crazy:

I dont mind the comments. I know that it needs some stuff… but I also know I put it together in a short period of time, and that’s not bad. Fonts, colors and such… that’s a preference thing… No offense taken at all.

=)

hopefully i can be able to do the same thing as monty here and post my site ahead of time. :wink:

Monty >> whatever you make, it’s totally you. If you feel it’s fine, then keep it.

15

:crazy:

16

17

look at me, I read that wrong :!: my fault. I apologize :slight_smile:

Ilyas: I don’t know if I will be nice or not when/if you post your site, but I will be honest.

Montoya: Well right now I don’t know what else would look good or not, but do what you feel is right and I will just comment it again later :beam:
