People have liked to download my hi-red pictures for their windows wallpapers. I decided to put together a site where people can download both widescreen and normal aspect ratio pictures.

The entire site is in flash. I DONT GIVE A RATS ASS IF YOU DONT LIKE FLASH, I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT This site is for my own personal use and pleasure so I really don't care about 508 accessibility or people running at 800x600 resolution.

I would like it if people could tell me if they like the effects and if they find anything broken. You need flash 7 to view the site.

Edit: Apparently people havent figured out that you can click on the photos to download a copy of them. I added that text making it more obvious to the movies. I also cleaned up the animation in the nature photos.
 
seemed to me that when switching between links at the bottom, the effects were a little choppy.

any reason why you chose 100% flash?

cause I like developing in flash.

do you mean when you were clicking on the buttons to navigate around? can you tell me what speed processor that you have?
 
phatty, but you should keep a more uniform transition effect across the site as far as loading the pics goes.

btw, 800mhz laptop and some of the effects like the fade-in were sluggish.
 
Pretty clean, but it's missing something. Compared to the photos the solid block colors seem to be too much of a difference, you know? Your photos aren't really minimal so the solid structure and coloring of the site seems a bit off.

Edit: I took another look and you are using too many colors.

well if that's what you want, then I guess it's fine. It seemed more like you were experimenting with a bunch and were undecided. I personally like the architecture effect and would've made it all that way.

EDIT>> I understand what you were doing though - I kept mine in an experiment state with varying transitions too. I just thought you would like something more final and uniform if you're going to use it as a portfolio.
 
Very nice.

I like Flash, but one of my pet peeves is not being able to increase the size of the text or Flash window. 🙁 At 1600x1200 your site is just a tiny slideshow on my screen...

Consistency is a good thing. 'Less is more'.
 
it's good, couple things:

-the % signs get cut off on the loading indicators
-the opening intro slide stutters as it slides in from the right
