the aliasing on galleries drop down text is mucked up.
Apart from that its quality.

y498 · 12-05-2005, 16:53

Shit - did not see that. Appreciated, I'll have to fix that tomorrow.

peace.

not bad
main transitions could be smoother, pixel fonts are blurry on galleries menu, like type - dont think you need to repeat the about etc though? the first typeface is clear enough

i dig. would like to see some interraction on the buttons within the galleries and maybe an indication of how far you're along that line.

food shots have made me hungry.

I like what I saw .. nice work!

wudda prefered it to be un flashy like but still its v.good

emil · 13-05-2005, 08:18

nice. I agree with brown,
knowing what I'm clicking,
or what I clicked would be
nice.

oh, and I like this one

Narate · 13-05-2005, 11:30

I like it, the mac didnt though

Agree with brown on the buttons.
Agree with gray on the transitions - maybe just up the frame rate to 25fps?

Other than that, good job

y498 · 14-05-2005, 01:01

Frame rate is like 35fps. Still a bit jiddery, I am going to use some fun AS2.0 I just picked up in the Flash Hacks book of O'Reilly and redo the animations in actionscript.

Next step is to change up the thumbnails, thanks for solidifying that for me - beyond that changing the site to XHTML or HTML is bleak just because it is easier to copy images that way. Granted Alt+PrintScreen works but not too many people know about it - thus it partially protects my client from copyright issues with people stealing her work.

Thanks again for the warm response, I have 3 sites for 3 different restaurants lauching Monday - had 2 weeks to complete them, hopefully I can get some more suggestions then...

Peace.
