Okay I finally finished one. It isn’t any of the desigsn I’ve already put up on the forum. This one is a brand new design and it’s in the Version 1 Beta stage. What I want to know is, does this site give the impression it was made by someone with good design skills? i.e. Would someone hire me on the basis of this site?
C&C on the site is welcome, especially on the main content font which I’m considering changing to a non-pixel font to get rid of the blurriness. What d’you think?
I’m sure someone would hire you based on this site Flash… but I wouldn’t. Sorry bud, you asked.
I’ve seen that photo you’re using as the background and if i remember correctly it is a really nice pic. Personally I don’t like it when people use semi transparent background images with body text overlayed. It makes the text hard to read. Why not use the same picture and panoramic idea you have going there but lose the transparency and create an area for your content. Also, I’m not digging the vibrating rollovers.
i like it. i would center it vertically. with the font, why don’t you just fix the bluriness rather than change the font? if your easing is screwing up the mc positioning and thus the font, you could use Math.round to fix it.
CG// Ah, but you know how to make this kind of thing. If you knew nothing about web design would you consider it? Also what rollovers would look good? I’m gonna use some little boxes for the text.
bwh2// Math.round can fix blurrines? What the hell is Math.round? :ne:
basically, when you use easing, the MC you’re moving may not stop exactly where you tell it to. so if you want it to stop on x=50, it may stop on x=50.2 . this can be a problem if you use pixel fonts (which need to be on whole #'s). to get around it, you can do something like this:[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/speed; // easing equation example
this._x=Math.round(this._x); // round off this._x
}[/AS]rounding this._x puts it on whole #'s so your pixel fonts work correctly.
Yea Flash. I hope I didn’t come off like I hated it, because I don’t. I think you should grunge up the text on rollover to match the feel of your header.
After another look I also think that maybe you should reconsider your typeface hierarchy.
Maybe something like this
CG// Yeah, those fonts look good. What is the main one? (Arial Narrow?) I’m sure I have it or something similar 'cause I’ve got hundreds of fonts. What is the thing under the contact button?
bwh2// I think I’m gonna go with CG’s idea about the fonts so thanks but I probaly won’t use that. I’m not sure how to encorporate it into my code. (It’s the easing menu system off actionscript.org)
The font is fette engshrift. I’m pretty sure it’s a free font however arial narrow looks pretty similar.
The thing under the contact button is nothing. lol I was going to grunge up one of the buttons but the phone rang and duty called.
What about this style CanadianGuy?
The home and profile buttons are in the rollover state, grungey. My content font isn’t as nice as yours though.
Fette Engschrift isn’t a free font. It costs $24 but I downloaded a bunch of dafont and I’m looking on 1001fonts.
Nah! I’m not digging it. Check you PMs
You have to delete some of your saved PMs so I can PM you my email address CG. You can’t hold any more.

oops!
gimme 1 minute
done
NOOOO… how does it end? :puzzled:
Man I need to find a good book or something.
:lol:
Hi Paddy,
I really like the colours you have chosen and your title is really nice… much better than the previous ones you have posted
i think the movement of the menu buttons is a good thing, but maybe not the vibrating… i think you should keep some kind of movement tho so the page doesnt become too static
not keen on the flat red html bckgd tho… maybe grunge it up some? try and add some more depth to the page…
the colours make it for me…
where did you find the coding for the menu?? i really need something similar for my portfolio section!
Yeh that panoramic idea is great.
I like the rollover on the original thing you posted.
make sure your fonts if pixel are on an even numbered coordinate…cause the link…they were blurry - also the nav menu shake thing hurts the eyes, the design aint all that bad - just needs a more packaged deal, great step from your other layouts, wrap it up into a package now -
