I don’t really like the white background. And the Base\_02 font doesn’t really fit with the clean fonts you used everwhere else. ---

ahhh nice work billystar 🙂 i really like the rollover… i really do 🙂 :thumbs: too bad your works aren’t up yet, let me know if you have put them up… I like to see your works man… those are awesome. C&C I like the rollover however I don’t like the blinking text, that’s kinda distracting, probably if you still want to keep it, make it softer use black on the first keyframe and a very dark gray on the second keyframe. No home / back button? this is a minor stuff but your header and the box that contains pictures… they don’t line up. maybe it’s just me but i feel like the negative space is pretty dominant… something is missing… anyway… nice work billystar ---

thanks for the kind comments 350z… thats a good tip for the blinking text, will do… no home/back because the site is fully navigable from the menu…the first slide is just an appetiser… i know what you mean about the negative space, but i want to keep a white bckd so im not sure… i will post when mt industrial design work is up, glad it interests you! ---

I like it. Nice, simple and clean design. Good use of motion. I agree with what’s been said about the base2 font and blinking. I’d also like to add that I’m not digging the way you scrunked the numbers. ---

Those coloured rectangles with the numbers on them are left over from the sliding menu system tutorial I’m sure Billy will fix it later. ---

Nice stuff, clear layout, practical nav - love the caption rollovers for the gallery thumbs-- put some of yer stuff in there if u can - looking kool so far, ( I agree header typeface a bit displaced with the res of the site- maybe something very stylised like oversized cursive bg font at 10% alpha with a small pixel font overlayed? - dunno jus a suggestion… ---

blinking text is a no no 90% of the time, and this is one of them. ---
