Remember not all these are my critiques… I’m only reposting them.

[list=1][]I’ve seen this site before over at FK and I thought the concept is pretty cool with the content being in the center than moving out. The transitions are smooth and the load time aren’t too bad either. What really caught my attention was the rollOver volume control for the music player, I thought that was pretty sweet. The only problem I noticed with this site was the text, I noticed in some sections he’ll have a pixel font and in others he’ll have what appears to be Arial or Verdana with different sizes so that killed the design for me.
[]Oh no, another futuristic site with real small fonts. While it is well done, and functions well, it doesn’t seem to “sell” the subject. The site is beautiful, but the purpose got lost on me. I think that a portfolio link should be the loudest thing on this type of site.
[]Love the colors. Transitions are nice, and the content is crisp. When the text flies in, the pixel fonts do tend to get blurry before settling down. Overall a nice site
[]The news scrollbar seems to be buggy, it only scrolls halfway then stops, just a tech note I thought you should know. There isn’t really a clear flow in the text, some are small pixel fotns others are verdana. The colors and transitions and layout are all nice as well. Maybe it was just me, but I couldn’t find a music off button!
[]I liked the green colour, that was quite different, but that front page reminded me of a 2advanced clone again. Maybe I’ve just been seeing them too much recently. A liked the bloke preloader, that was a nice touch, and the transitions were fairly smooth. Not too keen on the fonts some of time though, they were either the wrong face or colour and just plain unreadable. I did enjoy the interface on the services section though, nicely done.
[]a unique and extremly well executed interface. Good graphics. Good use of flash.[/list=1]

[list=1][]Now this site is more of my style, the graphics are excellent and the color scheme is nice as well. There are a few things I noticed that I didn’t like. One was some of the sound effects in the beginning when the screen slides out doesn’t go well with the other sounds. Second thing I didn’t like was the negative space at the bottom of the layout. I thought there was more to the site, but I didn’t see anything after I scrolled down so I thought that was a bit strange.
[]this site is really executed well, but I got tired of waiting for the transitions after the first click. I understand why they are used, just that they take an awful lot of time to do nothing really. Also, music was on by default… this is bad, especially in an office environment. Seemed like a lot of fluff.
[]Wow-very nice interface. The graphics, colors, and layout are spectacular.
[]The colors and graphics are excellent. This is more my style. I too disliked that negative space at the bottom of the site. I saw no point to it at all. Some of the sound effects were a bit off, but overall I liked them. The transitions were nice, everything had a nice flow. I don’t know if those panels on the sides are supposed to be known as buttons, but you might want to make that more obvious if they are (the ones for the wallpapers)
[]Page wasn’t found for me.
[]good use of flash. The color scheme could use a little more contrast (is there some kind of unknown rule in Flash that says you can only have a monochromatic color palette?). And this futuristic look is getting really banal, in my opinion. But that aside, it is a great site. Great usabilitity, flash execution, the whole nine…[/list=1]

[list=1][]Ok first off the splash screen is a mess and I didn’t like the way this site was laid out either. It would be nice to see some kind of transition between sections instead of just jumping to the next one. This site is far from SOTW material and still needs a lot of work. Some of the animations are kinda good though.
[]Very nice. The only thing I saw was that when you clicked animations, you got a black screen. If you don’t think to look down at the subnav and see that it has changed, then you are sitting there waiting for nothing to happen… #5 in the artwork did not work. the rest of the artwork has been compressed too much and has artifacts making it hard to see. Plus this section was drastically different than the rest of the site design-wise. I also did not like the animation on the buttons, it looked like there was a malfunction, but it was part of the animation.
[]The characters look cool. Some of the colors such as the blue gradient seem out of place. The site is nice but some further work could be used in changing the title, linking to an HTML page instead of an SWF, and other minor details.
[]The splash page was a reck! Transitions between sections would be nice as well. And I am not really sure what this site is for. Are you trying to sell your work? Are you just showing your stuff? Is it a personal page?
[]Same here, couldn’t display it.
[]I think there are some nice illustrations and animations here… but overall, the site doesn’t seem as polished or have the finesse that we expect from participants. It’s also very choppy.[/list=1]

[list=1][]haha this site made me laugh, but in a good away. I thought those lil bouncing boxes are pretty cool, nice concept. The 3D work and pixel graphics are nicely done. The things that I didn’t like were the popup windows and the initial loading time, it was a bit long and I’m on a broadband connection. Despite those minor problems, I voted for this site because of the concept is pretty original.
[]When I arrived at the site I had 2 popups… one was a shoutbox, and a birthday box… I left. Sorry, I hate popups, and thought these were unecessary.
[]The site is quite nice, but the popups really detract from the overall feel of the site. Also, does the site not remind you of aroots.com? The layout of the stats, news, and other little features look a tad bit suspicious. URL: http://aroots.com/main.html
[]Same as last time. I think it’s a great site man. And unless I completely overlooked that before YOU ADDED A MUSIC OFF BUTTON!!! I love that. I voted .ma. I had trouble choosing between his site and another previously. One setback that I disliked was no way to turn the music off. He added a stop button now (unless I overlooked it before, but I don’t think I did) and since he took our suggestions into consideration and fixed it up, I think that gives him extra points
[]I loved this the other week, and I still love it now. The little pixel dude is great. The two pop ups at the start were potentially annoying, but I ran the Birthday one and it was actually quite cool. I’m hoping it’s a one off thing though, not permanent. Basically, the transitions on the site are a tad too long, but they are very well done. I’m sorry, I just love it. Beautiful. Well, I’m sorry I’m going to have to go for my bouncy pixel guy again. It was close between him and Darklight, but pixel won it.
[]same as last time. Too busy and that cartoon font is a little weird. Plus there seems to be a couple pop-ups now that I didn’t notice before. Boo![/list=1]

[list=1][]The first thing that came to mind at first glance was that the layout is just too big, but after looking at the content, I can see why the designer chose to go with a large layout. The photography work is excellent, but this is a for a SOTW award, not a photography award so I don’t think this site is SOTW material mainly because I didn’t like the navigation system if there is one…
[]another popup, and full screen at that! I liked absolutely everything else, except the rollover function. I think I would rather see it as OnRelease… Oh, and do away with the full screen popup, you don’t need it, and it is irritating. I realize you don’t want them to hit the back button, but by taking away control, you are chasing away potential clients.
[]Excellent site with some really nice photos. Too bad the site had to be in a pop-up window. Besides that, the navigation, the images, and the overall look of the site is nicely done. The beeping sound is a tad bit annoying though.
[]On my monitor I had to drag your pop-up window sideways just to find the navigation. Then I had to drag it the best I could around to see anything else. And I couldn’t even see it all at that.
[]You ran it in a pop up, man! No! To begin with it looked like it was going to be a really novel layout and design, but it was kind of boring in the end. I think I was expecting more… Like the opening screen with the flats, I wanted that to do something. But it didn’t. Nice pictures though, just a little… Disappointing? Not in a bad way, just… Hmm.
[]I like the simplicity, but it’s just too boring. As a Flash site, it doesn’t really take advantage of Flash’s many capabilities. As a website, it really doesn’t communicate very well.[/list=1]
Dan.
pump up the volume !
Oh yes, back to your site. So yah it’s cool… It has those trademark Yamo illustrations I love. It is well executed. Mystery meat navigation is the downfall though. But a nice site overall. [/list=1]
->i know that page isnt for everybody… THANK u so much! let me say this: yeah,
