jd-online portfolio v 2.0 (http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~jsbhatti/index.html)

[jawahar]

updated the site.
no feedback guys.:(

Wow, pretty cool site you've got there, it took quite a while to load but it was really worth it. It almost feels like you're in an application and the fact that once you're viewing an image you can click it to view the others is a nice touch. Some stunning work there man and a site to match.

Cheers
Shaun

[jawahar]

thx for the feedback shaun :)
still a lot to work on,lots of bugs to be fixed
p:s : can u tell me approximately how long it took to load,i might have to re optimize the file size in that case.
thx again

Great work and a tight looking site. Couple of things

Preloader. Put one up. Make it small, but interesting
Image pics. Let people know how to exit when they are looking at a pic. I almost closed your site out, until I realized I could click the picture.

The site looks nice, if it is a little busy. Once the site is loaded, it rocks though.

[Shaun-3DT]

Yeah it took about 90 seconds over an adsl line, there could have been a little bit of contention but it was still rather long.

Cheers

Hmmm, very very nice site, but the ONE thing that kills it (like really kills it) is it is WAY to busy dude... he he i design sites too, and i have a keen eye for it, its very nice... but way to cluttered...

AMAZING THOUGH!

I dunno, I think that the way it's laid out isn't too cluttered because it seems to have an app feel to it so there's a little method in the madness.

thx for the feedback shaun,jason and myucka
shaun:i have reoptimised some files ,hope it works a bit faster now
jason:thx for the feedback man,i see what you mean.
the real issue was to somehow display all the artwork in an application based format which is userfreindly yet dynamic and attractive,the clutteryness comes from having way to many thumbnails in the gallery section i think

p:s : i have updated the website,
please keep the feedback coming guys,i really need you comments here.
thx for taking the time

[jawahar]

more updates on the site.
added a splash and a preloader.worked on the about me and the contact me pages.also updated the anatomy project and the overall look of the website.the size has increased considerable ,however i will optimise the file once i finish the site.
hope you like it so far.:)
thx for taking the time

[jawahar]

more updates...
no feedback? :p

[claWda]

agree with some of the others, takes way too long to load and I still have a 1Mbit connection :S and what's with the "resolution 1280*1024 and up" anyway? you know people still optimize sites for 800*600 due to the masive amount of people running on that resolution. oh well, your site didn't even load on my computer after the intro, might be my firewall though

[jawahar]

never heard of the firewall issue from anbody as of yet,also it should take about 3 minutes to load.as i mentioned already i havent optimized file size/alternate resolutions and uploaded the html version yet.
will keep updating anyway.

looks kewl, gj, not crits as yet :D

[dracomn]

hey dude looks like u got some cool stuff there
crits
the first page loads up way too slow for what u are showing
there make sure you have optimized it.

there is no back function when u click on a pic
ideally i always say its better to have a new window popup with the larg pic
and then back and forth arrows to help you navigate through

I dont like the page with 5 different launches
the type is kinda small to read
the words launch were flashing and so small it too a sec for me to recognize it a the wod launch

it would be nice if the pages incompassed one main kind of design

i like the logo in the front and thought u woiuld design around that

flash is nice but design is first

[FrodoBaggins]

Nice site!

But:
It loads slow, got a very con here.
Get rid of that annoying splashscreen, that is one huge turndown when I visit a site. It is one of the first things you learn in a webdesign class to never use them!

[jawahar]

thx for thefeedback frodo,havent updated the site in a while.will do it soon.thanks
