Site check please

The font looks ****. its crap. why have those crappy trees? Jesus, you are almost as talentless as me.

jdl, wow, what do you mean geniuses, is this site genious level?? are you serious? are you really serious about that you fool?

thanks jdl! Yah, that profile is a year old. I just turned 15, I’m updating it today with my new stuff :slight_smile:

Once again, nice site, I like your style.

Cheers!

and dont even bother writing back to say my sites are crap too - I know they are so **** you

woah there brinton lets cool down a bit (-:

No one on gods earth could call this genious, It is ridiculous to think this **** is genious, it is not genious level, I mean come on, genious??? where is the genious??? Where am I going wrong? I try hard to make sites and now this is the latest big thing in design?

Dont think so!!!

brintonwhite - what the hell are you going on about? I never said I was a genius - I said Nirvana is AND also renagirl is a total phenomenon.
Are you drunk or on speed or something?
:alien2:

I know my fonts are stuffed - so what? I got the msg the first time

How dare you accuse me of drug abuse? How dare you say that?

How dare you come in here screaming at me for no reason :thumb:

BTW I can’t see a link for your site anyhow

Hey Psycho dude (BrintonWhite), Kirupa has been alerted to your posts.

jdl//This site has really come on alot since I saw it last. It’s all come together really nicely. I agree with the others about the fonts. Go to www.dafont.com and pick two fonts for your site. One fancy/bold one for headers and titles, and a nice simple one (maybe a pixel font) for the main text. Then stick with just these two fonts throughout your site.
Another thing I feel you could address is the colour scheme. The colours are fine but because they are all so bright they clash. Try making all the colours more pastelly shades of the current ones. I think these two things will really make your site great. Also it’s good to see an older member. And female too. KF seems to be overrun by young males (like me)!

Anyway keep up the good work and follow the advice of everyone ('cept BrintonWhite) and you’re on the road to success.

I am not screaming at anyone

“Hey Psycho dude (BrintonWhite), Kirupa has been alerted to your posts.”

Well, thats just typical, isn’t it?!!!

Ah who gives a shi= ANYWAY?

I just don’t think it’s acceptable to swear at members who ask for critiques and to tell them how rubbish their work is. This forum is for constructive criticism. This jdl’s first Flash site and I am sure she would appreciate it if you would try to help instead of just slandering her work.

Sorry jdl for hijacking your thread but someone has to admonish this fellow.:cop: :jail:

What rubbish, it was me who posted first complementing the work

Flash Gordon, thanks for the extra help with my site - if I didn’t come in here in the first place for criticism , it would not be improved. Brinton is obviously upset I called Nirvana a ‘genius’ and so he started in on me but Brinton when I see a site created by someone so young it really astounds me and I really believe that is the mark of a very gifted person. You are welcome to disagree , just don’t start yelling at me about it and turning around and insult my own stuff. What is the point of that.
I don’t want you kicked out for it, I’m just retaliating.

This is the nature of this forum. I hate the place - full of people who are all too ready to be the big guy in town. I have had so much grief here it is impossible to explain. Nothing is EVER good enough, even if you completely do what a client wants- IT WILL always be wrong for some of the people here. Most of them are 9 anyway, so I suppose I should just accept it. I think your site is good, as I said in the first instance. But I will now get kicked out for good anyway - my fault

In fact that’s something for all of us to remember, most web people are under the age of 9 and it will be difficult for us to get on in design with these young people in charge. I spent 3 years at oxford studying applied mathematics and then a further 3 years at the royal colllege of art in london studying fine art and graphic design and what does it amount to - nothing!

The whole thing is a waste of time in many ways, all that one can achieve is some extra pocket money with web design.

It’s not my first flash site just my first portfolio site :stuck_out_tongue: So you don’t have to handle me with kid gloves - I can take harsh criticism when constructive.

I have done flash before just still a learner.

Brinton, I totally agree, nothing WILL ever be good enough because there is always room for improvement but I try not to get too ‘anal’ about it you know because I am now sick of trying to get my site “right” also. So I just leave it alone if I’m happy with it or come back to it in a few weeks and you always remember good criticism and you are your own best/worse critic as well.
Anything computer related is highly stressful if you spend too much time at it as far as I’m concerned. I certainly wouldn’t want to have to make a living out of it full-time! I wouldn’t be good enough anyway. But I might be good enough to pick up some freelance work or just use my skills to help my own projects or friends. It’s still a good creative outlet and unlike you I’ve never studied maths so it exercises that part of my brain which is practically retarded :smiley:
If I were thinking of it as a career I’d specialize in one small field and be the very best at it. Make sure it’s an area I loved.
Thanks for your considerate reply.
Cheers.

PS: I like having young minds giving me help in here. They are smarter than me when it comes to this stuff.

“If I were thinking of it as a career I’d specialize in one small field and be the very best at it”

No you wouldnt be the best, no more than I would.

Sorry to say it it, but whatever you do, there will always someone who is ten thousand times better.

Agreed again but I still love doing it :slight_smile:
Now I’m going to go play some footy with my boys and get away from the computer!
